Correctness of phrases with uncountable nouns
Hi. Could we use the ordinal numbers like "first" and "second" with what I think is an uncountable noun like "governorship"? How about with an uncountable noun like "equipment," could we say or write "first equipment"?
Also with the uncountable noun "grace," could we use it following the word "What" as below? Thank you in advance for your help.
1. What grace He has given us.
2. What grace it is.
