Countable x Uncountable / noncountable

Sometimes it is really hard to understand Countable/Uncountable nouns in English.
It can be tricky. Maybe lots of students and even teachers have faced situations in which they didn't know the difference. That happens because many countable words in Portuguese are uncountable in English.
Good dictionaries show the difference marking [C] or (U) when the entry is countable or uncountable noun.
My suggestion is also an invitation: Let's make a list of uncountable nouns in English using examples, right!

I also marked some useful links I found at EE (including plural and C/U nouns).


Information (U) a information, informations(both incorrect)
That is a reliable source of information.
She told me an interesting piece of information about the new manager. (*)

*2nd example the word "piece" can be plural, but "information" cannot.
in terms of grammar piece is a partitive word.

Equipment (U)
A useful piece of equipment for the kitchen.

Glass - meaning a transparent substance (U)
I cut myself on a piece of broken glass.

Music (really tricky) (U)
She could hear music played somewhere.
It was a charming piace of music.

Furniture (U)
We need to buy some furniture (some is also a partitive word)


Post your examples.
