    Nouns can be categorized as count or mass. Count nouns can be pluralized by adding "s" and refer to things that can be counted individually, like houses, deer, horses and boys. Some count nouns have irregular plurals like people, sheep, fish and teeth. Mass nouns refer to materials or substances that cannot be counted individually, like water, coal, bread or love, and require quantifiers like "amount of" to be counted.
