Grammar
act or state
Hi, If I see a word that means an act of doing something or a state of being, is it safe to assume it will likely be an uncountable noun? How likely is it?

Hard to say. It seems to me that an 'act' would often be countable and a state would often be non-count-- but more often than not, both forms are possible with both sorts of nouns.
