Hello
and
welcome
to
Six
Minute
Vocabulary
.
I'm
Neal
.
And
I'm
Catherine
.
And
in
this
show
,
we're
talking
about
uncountable
nouns
,
we
are
so
that's
nouns
that
you
can't
count
,
like
water
,
money
and
research
.
We'll
show
you
plenty
of
examples
.
And
we'll
also
bring
you
a
top
tip
for
recognizing
uncountable
nouns
.
But
let's
start
by
listening
to
Colin
.
He's
a
travel
agent
.
While
you
listen
,
think
about
this
question
.
What
might
you
need
from
your
bank
before
you
go
abroad
?
Here's
Colin
.
It's
time
to
start
planning
your
summer
travel
.
Do
some
research
before
you
go
.
Are
there
good
reviews
of
the
accommodation
?
How
much
baggage
can
you
take
?
And
what's
the
best
way
to
take
money
abroad
?
Do
you
need
to
get
some
advice
from
your
bank
?
Will
the
traffic
be
bad
on
the
way
to
the
airport
?
So
that
was
.
We
asked
you
what
might
you
need
from
your
bank
before
you
go
abroad
?
And
the
answer
is
you
might
need
some
advice
.
That's
right
.
Some
advice
.
Advice
means
ideas
and
suggestions
about
what
to
do
now
.
Did
you
notice
that
advice
is
not
plural
?
We
never
say
in
English
because
advice
is
an
uncountable
noun
.
You
can't
make
advice
plural
,
like
you
can
in
some
other
languages
.
And
with
uncountable
nouns
we
don't
use
articles
are
or
aren't
we
say
some
advice
,
not
an
advice
.
Now
listen
out
for
three
more
uncountable
nouns
in
this
clip
.
It's
time
to
start
planning
your
summer
travel
.
Do
some
research
before
you
go
.
Are
there
good
reviews
of
the
accommodation
and
the
uncountable
nouns
?
In
that
clip
were
travel
research
and
accommodation
and
activities
like
travel
,
work
and
homework
are
usually
uncountable
information
.
Words
like
research
,
information
and
advice
are
uncountable
too
.
Yes
,
they're
not
usually
plural
in
English
,
but
we
can
add
the
words
a
piece
of
to
lots
of
uncountable
nouns
if
we
like
,
so
we
can
say
a
piece
of
information
or
two
pieces
of
advice
.
That's
right
.
The
other
uncountable
noun
in
that
clip
was
accommodation
.
Accommodation
means
places
to
live
or
spend
the
night
,
like
rooms
,
flats
and
houses
.
So
accommodation
describes
the
group
of
places
that
you
can
stay
like
flats
,
houses
,
student
halls
of
residence
and
group
words
are
often
uncountable
,
so
there's
no
plural
form
.
Fruit
,
food
and
weather
are
group
words
too
.
We
don't
usually
say
fruits
,
foods
and
wethers
.
That's
right
.
Now
,
let's
have
another
clip
.
Can
you
spot
any
more
uncountable
nouns
?
How
much
baggage
can
you
take
and
what's
the
best
way
to
take
money
abroad
?
Will
the
traffic
be
bad
on
the
way
to
the
airport
?
And
we
had
baggage
,
money
and
traffic
in
some
languages
.
These
words
are
often
plural
,
but
not
in
English
.
In
English
they
are
all
group
words
.
right
.
So
baggage
means
a
group
of
bags
.
It's
money
for
coins
or
notes
and
traffic
for
cars
,
lorries
and
buses
.
And
we
are
talking
about
uncountable
nouns
.
We've
seen
that
some
activity
nouns
are
uncountable
and
some
group
nouns
are
uncountable
.
Shall
we
now
talk
about
more
types
of
uncountable
nouns
?
Catherine
,
go
on
then
.
So
we've
got
liquids
and
gases
.
Water
and
air
are
uncountable
.
And
yes
,
they
are
materials
and
substances
like
wood
and
salt
are
uncountable
too
.
Then
there
are
words
for
feelings
and
ideas
.
So
happiness
and
education
and
also
subjects
like
history
and
biology
.
That's
right
.
But
be
careful
with
subjects
like
physics
or
economics
.
Yes
,
they
end
with
the
letter
S.
So
they
look
plural
,
but
in
fact
they're
usually
uncountable
too
.
So
we
use
them
with
a
singular
verb
,
just
like
other
uncountable
nouns
.
Physics
is
complicated
and
economics
isn't
easy
.
Oh
,
six
minutes
vocabulary
from
BBC
Learning
English
and
it's
quiz
time
.
No
one
is
the
word
furniture
countable
or
uncountable
.
And
the
answer
is
it's
uncountable
.
It's
a
group
word
like
baggage
.
It
means
things
like
tables
and
chairs
.
Very
good
.
And
number
two
,
is
this
sentence
correct
or
wrong
?
Please
,
can
you
give
me
some
informations
?
That
is
not
correct
.
Information
is
uncountable
.
So
it's
some
information
without
an
S.
.
Not
some
information's
very
good
.
And
the
last
one
,
which
is
correct
,
,
it
was
beautiful
weather
on
Saturday
or
B
,
it
was
a
beautiful
weather
on
Saturday
.
And
the
answer
is
,
A
,
it
was
beautiful
weather
on
Saturday
.
And
that's
the
end
of
the
quiz
.
Well
done
to
you
if
you
got
them
.
All
right
.
But
before
we
go
,
here's
a
tip
.
When
you
see
a
noun
,
think
carefully
about
whether
it
belongs
to
one
of
these
types
of
activity
words
,
information
,
words
or
group
words
.
If
it
does
,
then
it's
probably
uncountable
.
