THEME THURSDAY: COUNT OR NON-COUNT? EXPERIENCE(S): meaning and examples
Hello everyone, and welcome back.
For November's Theme Thursday, we are examining nouns that can be both Count and Non-Count. We begin this lesson with the noun EXPERIENCE.
As a Non-Count noun, EXPERIENCE means familiarity.
Example 1: I have a lot of experience working in sales.
Example 2: You must have 2 to 3 years of experience to apply for this job.
As a Count noun, EXPERIENCE means an incident or event.
Example 3: Travelling to Africa and snorkelling in Bali are two experiences I will never forget.
Example 4: Because of my three bad experiences with horses, I am afraid to ride them.
For the rest of this month, we will look at other words which are both Count and Non-Count nouns. Tune in for these lessons, and make sure to check back tomorrow for Phrasal Verb Friday.
As always, thanks for reading and have a great day!
