Stop saying "informations" and "furnitures".
In Hindi
कुछ चीज़ें गिनी नहीं जातीं — पानी, सलाह, सामान।
CoCap explains every structure in both languages, because a rule you understand in Hindi is a rule you can use in English.
The sentence Indian-English speakers actually produce, and the reason it is wrong.
| Commonly said | Correct English |
|---|---|
He gave me many advices. | He gave me a lot of advice. "Advice" is uncountable and has no plural. |
Easiest first. Every sentence is authored, with the Hindi it comes from.
I need some milk.
मुझे थोड़ा दूध चाहिए।
I like sweet things.
मुझे मीठा पसंद है।
I like vegetables.
मुझे सब्ज़ियाँ पसंद हैं।
I need some information.
मुझे कुछ जानकारी चाहिए।

मुझे थोड़ी सलाह चाहिए।
I have a lot of luggage.
मेरे पास बहुत सामान है।

We should save water.

Close enough to be mixed up with this one. Knowing the difference is most of knowing either.
Where this structure sits in the ladder, and what surrounds it.
Countable & uncountable is a CEFR A2 structure — the everyday band — and it belongs to nouns, articles & quantity. CoCap’s syllabus files every structure this way so you can learn in order instead of jumping between whatever a search happened to return.
