    Countable nouns are easy to recognize. They are things that we can count. For example: "pen". We can count pens. We can have one, two, three or more pens. Here are some more countable nouns:

    dog, cat, animal, man, person
    bottle, box, litre
    coin, note, dollar
    cup, plate, fork
    table, chair, suitcase, bag
    Countable nouns can be singular or plural:

    My dog is playing.
    My dogs are hungry.
    We can use the indefinite article a/an with countable nouns:

    A dog is an animal.
    When a countable noun is singular, we must use a word like a/the/my/this with it:

    I want an orange. (not I want orange.)
    Where is my bottle? (not Where is bottle?)
    When a countable noun is plural, we can use it alone:

    I like oranges.
    Bottles can break.
    We can use some and any with countable nouns:

    I've got some dollars.
    Have you got any pens?
    We can use a few and many with countable nouns:

    I've got a few dollars.
    I haven't got many pens.

    "People" is countable. "People" is the plural of "person". We can count people:
    There is one person here.
    There are three people here.
