Editing Count noun (section)

==Examples==
Below are examples of  all the properties of count nouns holding for the count noun ''chair'', but not for the mass noun ''furniture''. 
* Occurrence in plural.

: There are '''chairs''' in the room. (correct)
: There is '''chair''' in the room. (incorrect)
: There is '''a furniture''' in the room. (incorrect)
: There are '''furnitures''' in the room. (incorrect)
: There is '''furniture''' in the room. (correct)

* [[Co-occurrence]] with count determiners
: '''Every chair''' is man-made. (correct)
: There are '''several chairs''' in the room. (correct)
: '''Every furniture''' is man-made. (incorrect)
: There are '''several furnitures''' in the room. (incorrect)

Some determiners can be used with both mass and count nouns, including "some", "a lot (of)", "no". Others cannot: "few" and "many" are used with count items, "little" and "much" with mass nouns. On the other hand, "fewer" is reserved for count and "less" for mass (see [[Fewer vs. less]]), but "more" is the proper comparative for both "many" and "much".
