singular only

Singular-only nouns (also called mass nouns) refer to nouns that are either abstract or too numerous to count (because they are a substance or exist in masses).
Abstract concepts like knowledge or wisdom stay singular because we do not count something which is nonphysical or abstract. Other examples are substances that are non-quantifiable, or exist in a form which cannot be counted, (e.g., milk, rice or water).
