What are word classes? How can we recognize them? What role do they play in regards to punctuation? Grammar in Theory and in Practice was written for those who want straight answers, in plain English, to these crucial, yet rarely asked, questions.This essential guide empowers students to identify parts of speech rapidly, to employ punctuation marks confidently, and to examine syntax precisely, in four popular GCSE texts: Lord of the Flies, Animal Farm, Frankenstein, and 1984. Grammatical categories are neatly defined in the glossary, and each chapter is packed with practical and demanding exercises, testing your knowledge of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, and prepositions. Topics range from the relatively simple, such as common pronoun errors or subject-verb agreement problems, to the somewhat complex, such as appositives, participles, or rhetorical devices. At the end of the course, there is a large punctuation section that revises the usage of commas, colons, semicolons, hyphens, and apostrophes.
In this lesson we look at many nouns which are both countable and uncountable. Uncountable nouns (used in a general sense) have no article, whereas countable nouns MUST have an article. Here are some examples of words being used as countable and uncountable nouns.
War is a racket. War is hell. All is fair in love and war
There was a war in northern Europe. The argument was a war of words.
The party was a disaster. 50 people perished in the disaster
Disaster struck. This would spell disaster for the company.
I did it by accident!
It was an accident!
I saw a terrible accident on the way to work.

Charge two cups of deionised water with 20 KV, and a stable thread of water appears between the anode and cathode. This experiment has been known for more than a century, though the precise mechanism is still not perfectly understood. Glycerol also works, but the bridge is thicker and more viscous, as you might expect.
