Check out Writing Lesson 20 (articles and quantifiers) for a full overview of Countable and Uncountable Nouns.

Here are the most common mistakes/misunderstandings I see in IELTS Writing/Speaking:

1. Using ‘a/an’ before uncountable nouns e.g. an accommodation, a teamwork

2. Adding ‘s’ to uncountable nouns e.g. ‘researches‘ ‘works‘

3. Forgetting to add ‘s’ to the verb e.g. ‘Public transport needS to be subsidised’.
