Countable and Uncountable Nouns Worksheet for 9-Year-Olds: Practice Many, Few, and All

Instructions

Let's learn about counting things and using the words many, few, and all! Read each section carefully and complete the fun activities.

Part 1: Can You Count It?

Some things we can count easily. These are called countable nouns. For example, you can count three chairs or five pencils.

Other things are hard to count by themselves, like liquids or tiny grains. These are called uncountable nouns. You can't say "one water" or "two sands." Instead, you count their containers, like "a bottle of water."

Activity: Is the noun countable or uncountable? Circle 'C' for Countable or 'U' for Uncountable.

1. book        C / U
2. water       C / U
3. friend       C / U
4. sugar       C / U
5. car           C / U
6. music       C / U
7. apple       C / U
8. advice      C / U

Part 2: Many, Few, or All?

We use special words to talk about the number of countable things without using an exact number.

• Many: Use this for a large number of things. (Imagine a sky full of stars!)
• Few: Use this for a small number of things. (Imagine only two cookies left on a plate.)
• All: Use this when you mean every single one. (Imagine a pizza with 8 slices, and you eat every slice. You ate all the slices!)

Activity: Read the sentence and fill in the blank with many, few, or all.

1. The library has thousands of books. It has ___________________ books.
2. I have three crayons, but my friend has a huge box of 64. I only have a ___________________ crayons.
3. The teacher asked the students to put their hands up. Every single student did. ___________________ of the students put their hands up.
4. There are over 100 people at the party! There are so ___________________ people here.
5. I invited five friends to my house, but only two could come. A ___________________ friends came over.

Example: A toy box is overflowing with toys.
There are many toys in the box.
