Example: I had a sandwich and an orange for breakfast. (We have used the articles before countable nouns ‘sandwich and orange’).

Examples: a)I need a paintbrush.(paintbrush is singular in number refers to only one thing.)     

b) I need five paintbrushes.( five is a definite number, paint brushes here is  plural in number.) 
      Paint brush(Countable noun)

Example: The lady dusted the furniture.(‘The’ is used before the countable noun ‘lady’).
