**Key Takeaways:**
1. **Only nouns can be counted** in English.
2. **Noun Types and Articles:**

**Video and Course Details**
1. The video is part of a complete English language learning course for beginners.
2. The section being taught is on grammar.
3. The video is divided into basic and advanced levels.
**Grammar Rules**
4. Only nouns can be counted in the English language.
5. Nouns can be classified as repeated (multiple instances) or non-repeated (single instance).
6. Non-repeated nouns (e.g., "sun") are always preceded by "the".
7. Plural nouns do not require "a", "an", or "the" preceding them.
8. Singular, repeated nouns require either "a" or "an" before them, depending on the starting sound.
**Pronunciation and "a"/"an" Rules**
9. The English alphabet consists of 26 letters, each with a name and sound.
10. Certain letters (A, E, I, O, U) make a distinct "Aa" sound.
11. A singular, repeated noun starting with one of these letters (e.g., "elephant", "orange") is preceded by "an".
12. A singular, repeated noun not starting with one of these letters (e.g., "boy", "table") is preceded by "a".
**Example Applications**
13. "Sun" is a non-repeated noun, so it's preceded by "the".
14. "Eggs" is a plural noun, so no "a", "an", or "the" is added.
15. "Apple" can be singular and repeated, starting with a sound that requires "an" if singular.
16. "Minute" is singular and repeated, but doesn't start with the "Aa" sound, so it's preceded by "a".
