Uncountable nouns

Hi, folks!

Eu gostaria que me explicassem um pouco sobre "Uncountable nouns"! Como eu poderia explicar o por quê "money, informantion, advice, news" são uncountables?

Thanks in advance.

Try to think like that:

Money is uncountable: we're talking about the generic idea;
Real, Dollar, Pesos are countable: I know the "unit" of the general idea.

Advice is uncountable: I can't reach, touch or create an amount of advice to give.
Advices is just wrong. This word doesn't accept plurals.

Information goes the same way as Advice: how can you quantify something abstract?

Time is uncountable, but days, hours, years... those are the "units" of the time.

Did I help somehow?
