Explanation:
Answer:
- They threw a lot of mud on us
- My father brought many books.
- The soldiers fought with great courage.
- He gave me some advice.
- The waiter brought two plates(bowls) of rice for us or the waiter brought some rice for us.
Explanation:
1. They threw a lot of mud on us. Mud is a soft wet earth. Mud is countable and uncountable. we can use a lot of mud or simply mud.
2.My father brought many books for me. Many pertains to more than one so in this case, we must make the succeeding word in its plural form as 'many books'. 'a lot of books' is also correct.
3.the soldiers fought with great courage. 'many courage' is not correct, instead we can use 'great courage' or simply 'courage'.
4. Here in this sentence 'Advice' is a noun meaning ''an opinion or suggestion about what someone should do''.
- Advices cannot be used plurally in most cases because 'advice' is a noncount noun which means it does not have a plural form, and the word ''advices'' is not grammatically correct.
- So instead of 'two advice' we can use 'some advice'.
5.The waiter brought two plates of/two bowls of rice for us.
Rice is a mass noun or collective noun and it has only one form (rice).so two rice is incorrect , instead we can use two plates of rice or two bowls of rice.
