In the episode of Extra English we saw yesterday Hector did some shopping and expressed quantities of the products he bought.

In English we have two different types of nouns, countable and uncountable. Countable nouns are obkects that can be clearly identified as a single unit and therefore counted, whereas uncountable, or mass nouns are things that are usually in mass and not easily seperated into individual units or that are abstract concepts.

This is important because it changes the quantifier used.

Here there is a good presentation in Italian.
