Countable Nouns 可數(shù)名詞
Hello. I have a question about plural nouns. Here are two sentences: My favourite animal is dog. And, my favourite animals are dogs. Are they both right and why can we say both dog and dogs when dog is a countable noun? Thank you for your help. I am looking forward to your answer.

Our question this week revisits the subject of countable nouns. These are people, places or things that can be individually counted. If there's more than one they are plural countable nouns.
Plural and singular nouns are preceded with different words so it's important to know which ones to use.
Singular countable nouns usually need a or an before the word, such as a dog.

The plural version can occur with the definite article, possessive pronouns, and demonstrative pronouns.
