And, what is the difference between 'sport' and 'sports'?

Sport---- British English.

Sports- - - American English.

Also,
the word 'sports' and 'sporting' can be used in the same way. BUT not 'SPORT'.

Eg.

A sporting event;

A sports club.

I mean as adjectives.

Please note:

These words are uncountable:

Furniture;
Equipment;
Information.

And, words like

Police and
Cattle are also UNCOUNTABLE. These two words also attract PLURAL verbs.
Eg.
'Are' not 'is'.

And,

Did you know that 'SPACE' is an uncountable noun as well?

Well, you can 'enrich' it by saying, for example, 'much space'.

Ok, Ola, how do I 'enrich' these words:

Furniture
Information
Equipment.

It is possible, my people.

You can do this by using words that relate to 'amounts' and 'parts'.

Eg.
Item;
Piece;
Bit.
These words are called PARTITIVES.

Dear  Ola, what about 'money'?

Money? *My eyes just bulged*.

Well, it is possible to have it as countable and uncountable. That is; 'monies' and 'moneys' (but these forms are old use).

Instead, use

'various sums of money'.

'huge sums of money'.

ola olabiy:

Odunnu, it's 'troublemaker'.

Good job you got it right.

Some people think 'troublemaker' means 'troubleshooter'.

In fact, it means the OPPOSITE.

I actually get irritated when I hear people use troubleshooter in place of troublemaker
