2012年BEC商务英语考试中级口语练习(14)

This week we're talking about uncountable nouns and how they can sometimes appear to be countable.

Uncountable nouns are names of things that can't be counted like water or sand. But with a few language adjustments they can be described countable. For example, news can be counted if we describe it as a piece of news.中 华 考 试 网

By giving an uncountable noun a particular meaning it then becomes something that can be quantified. So if we make the word time, which is uncountable, into a good time, we are changing its meaning into a specific occasion when a good time was had.

A piece of cake is countable

There are plenty of other examples and you can hear some in Question and Answer of the Week with Rob and Feifei.
