NOUNS: Countable and uncountable (from https://www.englisch-hilfen.de/en)

How to count the uncountable nouns

When we want to count the uncountable nouns, you have to put a phrase in front of the word.

Examples:

a bar of  white chocolate,   3 bars of white chocolate

a bottle of milk / juice,   four bottles of milk / juice

A jar of coffee / jam, three jars of coffee / jam

a carton of milk / juice,   4 cartons of milk / juice

a bowl of ice,   a few bowls of rice

** HINT **

“Milk” and “jam” are uncountable, but “carton”, “bottle” and “jar” are countable.
