Complaint 
A: 
Nouns 
and 
articles
Signs:

Selecting 
the 
wrong 
form 
for 
plural 
nouns

Failing

Nouns
Treatment
In 
order 
to 
use 
nouns 
correctly 
an 
understanding 
of 
the 
concept 
of 
boundedness 
is 
required. 
Boundedness 
tells 
us 
whether 
a 
noun 
can 
be 
counted 
or 
not 
and 
therefore 
whether 
a 
plural 
can 
be 
formed. 
e 
concept 
is 
helpful 
in 
explaining 
why 
some 
nouns 
can 
be 
both 
count-
able 
and 
uncountable. 
To 
know 
if 
a 
noun 
can 
be 
counted 
we 
need 
to 
work 
out 
whether 
it 
has 
a 
clear 
‘boundary’ 
and 
can 
be 
seen 
as 
a 
clearly 
separate 
thing, 
either 
physically 
or 
in 
our 
minds. 
In 
other 
words, 
does 
it 
have 
a 
clear 
beginning 
and 
end?
Cigarette 
– 
e 
noun 
‘cigarette’ 
is 
a 
separate 
entity 
that 
can 
be 
counted.

of 
cigarettes
