News or "A news"

Hello,

Is it OK to say "It's a big news"? Or, is news always uncountable?

Thanks,
Prasanna

Hi, Prasanna, Yes, news is uncountable and cannot be used with an article. But you can say something like It's a big news story .

No indefinite article.

Hi Prasanna
we dont use 'a' or 'an' with uncountable nouns .But it is possible to make some of these nouns countable with the help of these words for ex: a glass of water,a piece of advice(furniture),a bowl of rice,a can of oil,a bottle of milk,a piece of music etc

In English, there are always exceptions: He has a good knowledge of history. Even a plural noun may occasionally take an indefinite article: He spent a happy five days in Las Palmas.
