GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Unspecified Count Noun without THE (5-6 minutes) (THE がつかない不特定の可算名詞 ) A count noun is a noun that is distinct and can be counted. It can be both singular and plural in form.

( 可算名詞とは数えることができるもので単数形複数形をもちます冠詞はよく特定のものを指すかどうかを表すために用いられ不特定の可算名詞に使用される冠詞は "a" "an" です ) a : used if the first letter of the count noun is a consonant. (ex. a pen, a company) ( 単語の先頭文字が子音から始まる場合につく例 :a pen, a company) an : used if the first letter of the count noun is a vowel. (ex. an apple, an employee) ( 単語の先頭文字が母音から始まる場合につく例 :an apple, an employee) Remember: For unspecified singular count nouns, use articles "a" or "an". For unspecified plural count nouns (meaning all or in general ), do not use any articles.
