Grammar
"S" problem
Hi everyone, please help me with my problem with “S”. I dunno when I should add “s” to a word.
1. He plays football. He plays football as a hobby – Am I correct with the s
2. I review qualification(s) of applicant(s) and handle application(s)
Should I add “s” for qualification, I really have no idea about it obviously there is more than 1 single qualification for an applicant
Should I add “s” for applicant, there is more than 1 single applicant
Should I add “s” for applications, there are lots different type of applications and more than 1 single application.
3. Countable / uncountable
Water, coal… “s” will never be added with these kinds of word becoz they are uncountable (am I correct here with the s “these kinds of word”)
Application, applicant, qualification “s” may be added if
There is more than 1 application
Or there is more than a single kind of application e.g. application A, B, C, D for you to choose from.

There are more than one "type" of courts in most judicial systems.
Civil courts and Criminal courts.
Furthermore, when you hear "appeal" that means the case is being appealed to a "higher" court. (different names and systems for most countries)
For example: The US have state and federal systems. Level wise it has first circuit, second circuit... to Supreme court. So when
