Difference
Some nouns in English are countable – we can use them in singular and plural forms. 

Some are uncountable – they only have one form.

Slide 9 - Slide

Rules
We often use a/an with singular countable nouns and some with plurals. 

We can also use some with uncountable nouns.

Slide 10 - Slide

Remember..?
We often use a/an before singular countable nouns. 

Before words that start with a vowel sound, we use an.
Example: an apple.

Before words that start with a consonant sound, we use a.
Example: a pen.
Vowels =
a,e,i,o,u

Slide 11 - Slide

Pay attention!
Some can be any number more than one.
I got some new jeans at the weekend. (a pair of new jeans)
Some teachers left at the end of the year. (we don't know how many)

Sometimes we don't use some or a number before plurals. 
I'm frightened of dogs. (dogs in general)
Strawberries have a lot of vitamin C. (strawberries in general)
