Hello again hanuman Do you say "one pollution, two pollutions, three pollutions" in your language? We don't in our language - Japanese. Neither do they in English.

  • Hello again hanuman Do you say "one pollution, two pollutions, three pollutions" in your language?
  • We don't in our language - Japanese.
  • Neither do they in English.
  • "Pollution" is uncountable in English and it is a rule in English an uncountable noun does not take "a" before it.
  • When you mention a specific pollution that you have known what it is, for example, the pollution in Japanese Sea, you can put "the" before "pollution".
