    The document discusses number agreement when using nouns that cannot be counted or divided. It provides examples of incorrect usage of modifiers like "a", "each", "every" with uncountable nouns like "oil", "happiness", "furniture" and suggests using the nouns without modifiers instead. The document emphasizes that it is incorrect to say things like "Do you have a knowledge of Greek?" or "The toddlers liked to move a furniture." and the proper forms would be "Do you have knowledge of Greek?" and "The toddlers liked to move furniture."

    Number Agreement
    If you are using a noun that cannot be counted or divided, such as "oil," "happiness," and
    "furniture," it is incorrect to modify that noun with "a," "each," "every," "either," or "neither."

    Instead of: Do you have a knowledge of Greek?

    Consider: Do you have knowledge of Greek?

    Instead of: The toddlers liked to move a furniture.

    Consider: The toddlers liked to move furniture.
