Count It or Pour It: Countable and Uncountable Nouns for Grade 3

This Grade 3 English grammar worksheet helps children confidently understand and use countable and uncountable nouns in real sentences. With everyday vocabulary like pencils, water, sugar, coins, soup, and advice, students learn how to choose the correct noun form and use helpful grammar cues such as many, much, some, and a little.

Why Countable and Uncountable Nouns Matter in Grammar?

Countable and uncountable nouns are an important grammar foundation for Grade 3 learners because:
1. They help children choose between “many” (countable) and “much” (uncountable).
2. They build accuracy in speaking and writing (e.g., “five kittens” vs “some water”).
3. They improve sentence clarity using words like some, little, and how many.
4. They support better writing skills in CBSE English grammar and daily communication.
