批閱學生作文，經常發現一些學生常犯的錯誤，試看看下列例子：
There are many equipments in the office.
I can find many informations in the library.
原來 equipment 和 information 都是 uncountable nouns (沒有複數的名詞)，不可以在字尾加‘s’的。應改為 :
There is much equipment in the office.
I can find a lot of information in the library.
其他不可以寫成複數(或通常以單數出現)，而令學生犯錯的名詞有：advice, behaviour, chocolate, evidence, furniture, health, homework,knowledge, laughter, police, rubbish, staff, thunder, underwear, work.
用上列名詞，試做下列練習，提醒自己切勿在這些名詞後加‘s’ :
I always listen to my teachers' _________ and never allow my __________ to make them feel ashamed. (我經常遵從老師的忠告而從不令他們為我的行為蒙羞。)
Some dieticians claim that people who eat plenty of ________ may have problems with their _________ . (有營養學家指經常吃大量巧克力的人會令健康出現問題。)
Calling the _________ and providing ________ are citizens' responsibility. (知會警方和提供證據是市民應盡的責任。)
The __________ in that shop are very helpful and their hard __________ is praised by everybody. (那間店的員工都樂於助人，而他們辛勞的工作是備受讚賞的。)
The giant's __________ sounds like __________. (那巨人的笑聲仿似打雷。)
Hong Kong people produce lots of _________ every day. (港人每天製造大量垃圾。)
In winter, some people put on thermal _________ to keep warm. (有些人於冬天穿上保暖內衣來禦寒。)
__________ is power. (知識就是力量。)
（答案：1a,b 2c,h 3p,e 4.s,w 5. l,t 6. r 7. u 8.k ）
