Decision (uncountable only?)
hi teachers,
sometimes, I have a very hard time understanding which words can be use as countable or uncountable.
Here is my question.
Is the following sentence grammatically correct to say "to make a decision"?
Is "decision" only countable?
I have made a strong decision to contribute three hours every week to grow the trees.
there never be "to make strong decision"? Is this correct?
thanks for any comment,
