Help - Why is this sentence grammatically wrong?
Hi,
I need to correct the following sentence: "I'd like some informations about your courses" I know the correct version is "I'd like some information (not informations).." but how do I explain why it is incorrect? Is it because the word "information" is being used as an uncountable noun? Help please!

Anonymoushow do I explain why it is incorrect?The same way you explain why 'sugars' or 'sands' in incorrect in
It's too bitter. I need to put more sugars on it.
To make concrete you need sands.
As you say, it's a countability issue.
