English Grammar in Use

As a rule, uncountable nouns such as: 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐞, 𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐟𝐟 etc.

Should not be pluralised by attaching "𝙨" to them— they are regarded as 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐬 and attract 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐛𝐬.

To pluralise uncountable nouns, the use of 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 is required.

Examples of 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 include: 𝙖 𝙥𝙞𝙚𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛, 𝙖 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙤𝙛, 𝙖 𝙨𝙡𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙜𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨 𝙤𝙛, etc

Ex:
- A piece of information [singular]
- Pieces of information [plural]

However, in the above quiz, 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 [singular] and 𝙞𝙨 [singular] were used to modify the word 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
