Everyday grammar.

I'm John Russell.

Sometimes the traffic in Washington D.

C.

Is terrible.

Just the other day, I was stuck in a traffic jam for two hours.

When I took a break from yelling at other drivers, I started to think about the word traffic.

Traffic in English is a non count noun.

In other words, English speakers don't make traffic plural by adding an S, and you won't hear English speakers use a an or the before traffic, so you will not hear English speakers say I was stuck in traffics or I was stuck in the traffic.

Even though traffic refers to a lot of individual cars that you can count English speakers consider traffic to be a non count noun.

In this respect, Common now owns related toe language Study are also considered to be non count, like traffic, grammar and vocabulary are non countdown's.

So how do English speakers turn these non count announce into countdown's or now owns that can be plural.

They add another now.
