Using the same rule you might say a few bottles of water or a few pieces of wood. Information, water and wood are uncountable nouns while pieces and bottles are countable. That is why you say this water, this information and this wood but these pieces and these bottles. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Yes, but the meaning is different. H2O is always uncountable, territorial waters are countable. Wood meaning material, which trees are made from, is uncountable, a wood meaning something less than a forest is countable. There are also many other examples of nouns, that depending on the context or meaning, are countable or uncountable, just look in a dictionary. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
