Some nouns in English are 'uncountable'. This means that they do not have a plural form. Some common uncountable nouns are: advice, advertising, food, furniture, garbage, information, knowledge, money, shopping, time, traffic, travel.

- the singular form: food, information, money
- a little/ amount of/ much/ some: How much money do you have? / The amount of traffic on the roads is increasing each year.
- a singular verb: There was already a little furniture in the flat.
