Paul S. Gruber MS, CCC-SLP
English Grammar Tips for Correct Usage of Non-Countable Nouns

 
These words below are always used as if they were singular; they cannot be counted. 
 
Gold
Music
Mail
Blood
Wealth
 
 
 
We would NOT say:
Look at all the golds* she is wearing.
 
He is studying different types of musics.*
 
I received so much mails* while I was gone.
 
The Red Cross donates bloods* from many giving individuals.
 
They enjoy much of their wealths.*
 
* Ungrammatical
 
 

Instead we WOULD say:

Look at all the gold she is wearing.
 
He is studying different types of music.
 
I received so much mail while I was gone.
 
The Red Cross donates blood from many giving individuals.
 
They enjoy much of their wealth.
