Non-count count nouns and plural count nouns
hi, everyone, I have read some materials about non-count nouns and plural count nouns, but I have a problem to understand it. I see my teacher write in her material '' others are restricted to occurring with non-count nouns ( a great deal of, a good deal of,...) or with plural count nouns (a great number of, a large number of,...). however, she writes strange sentence '' The room contained a great deal of money" and '' The room contained a great number of money''. so I can't understand what she wants to write. Can you explain clearly for me? thank you so much.
