Can you make plural of uncountable noun?

You can't make a plural of an uncountable noun. That's the definition of an uncountable noun: it doesn't have a plural form.

Uncountable nouns are things that we can't count individually, like:

* Substances: water, air, sand, rice, milk

* Concepts: advice, information, happiness, knowledge, time

* Abstract nouns: beauty, music, anger, love

* Some materials: furniture, equipment, luggage

Instead of trying to make a plural, you can:

* Use a quantifier: "a piece of advice," "two bottles of water," "some information"

* Use a collective noun: "a flock of birds," "a herd of cows"

* Use a different noun: "grains of rice," "pieces of furniture"

Let me know if you have a specific noun in mind and I can help you find the right way to express it!
