Why is the set of natural numbers an infinite set but the set of blades of grass outside your yard a finite set?
--------------
You can count the number of blades of grass and there will not
be any that are uncounted.
--------------------
If you try to count the natural numbers you may arrive at
what you call the "last number"; but there is always a number
one greater than that "last number", and another number
one greater than than, and another number one greater than
that, forever.
