How come you doubt "decoration" can have a plural form?

"Several decorations" is ok.

Hi Ant_ 222,

Thanks for your comment . It's simple ! The same way as some words in English are only written in the singular form (e.g.: 'information') or are only written in plural such as 'news'. So I thought about the possibility the word decoration could follow one of these 'exceptions to the rule'.

Best wishes,

Dennis.

They'll be no longer exceptions if you take into acount that a noun can be either countable or uncountable.

There are no "items" of water (not counting molecules!) or information. Don't confuse it with measures: information can be measured in bits for example.
