B2 level, mastery of countable and uncountable nouns focuses on nuance, using specific quantifiers (many/much/a few/a little), and handling nouns that change meaning based on countability(e.g., paper vs. a paper). Key, often abstract, nouns like advice, information, equipment, and furniture are exclusively uncountable, requiring singular verbs.
Key B2 Countable/Uncountable Nouns Concepts:
* Uncountable Nouns: Cannot be pluralized or used with 'a/an'. They always use singular verbs.
* Examples: Accommodation, Advice, Behaviour, Damage, Equipment, Furniture, Information, Knowledge, Luggage, Money, News, Progress, Research, Rubbish, Traffic, Travel .
* Countable Nouns: Have singular/plural forms and use 'a/an' in singular .
* Hybrid Nouns: Contextual:
* Some nouns shift meaning:
* Experience: (Uncountable = knowledge/skill, Countable = an event) .
* Room: (Uncountable = space, Countable = a specific room)
* Paper: (Uncountable = material, Countable = a newspaper or document)
* Coffee: (Uncountable = liquid, Countable = a cup of coffee)

* Both: Some, Any, A lot of / Lots of, Plenty of.
* Uncountable Only: Much, A little, Little, A great deal of, A large amount of.
