    Uncountable Nouns

    You can’t say one/two/three (etc.) + uncountable noun, and you cannot use a/an + uncountable noun
    Uncountable nouns have only one form and is typically used with “some”, “a lot of”, “many”, or “much”.

    Examples:
    air (singular), some/a lot of/much air (plural)   (not “an air”, or “one air”, or “airs”)
    anger (singular), some/a lot of/much anger (plural)   (not “an anger”, or “one anger”, or “angers”)

    Examples of words that signify the quantity of a noun:

    A lot (of)
    Many
    Much
    A little (bit of)
    Some
