Nouns can be either countable or uncountable. Countable nouns (or count nouns) refer to something that can be counted.Example: dog, cat.
Uncountable nouns (or mass nouns) do not typically refer to things that can be counted and so they do not regularly have a plural form. Example: A few books, lots of oranges.
