摘　　要：The countability and uncountability of French nouns are closely related to the discontinuity and homogeneity of the object that the nouns refer to.Discontinuity gives an object a bounded extension in space and time,and separates it from other things,so the object can be counted;while homogeneity makes an object remain his nature and have the same designation even after being cut apart,so it cannot be simply calculated.The discontinuity and homogeneity explain why nouns are countable or not from the perspective of ontology,applied in French teaching,they can help learners to distinguish these two kinds of nouns.
