Take legal actions / take legal action

When I looked up the phrase in the dictionary, I just found "take legal action" but I saw "take legal actions". Nowadays, it is acceptable?Thanks in advance and all of a sudden, I can not use any tools which help arrange writing, so sorry about not well organized writings

If it is specifically a matter of multiple actions, it sounds reasonable; otherwise, the uncountable form is the accepted.

Thanks all the time and I have realized that there is a meaning difference when "for mom" modifies "bought" and "for mom" modifies "some flowers" in " I bought some flowers for my mom". "some flowers for my mom" means there is a certain kind of flowers my mom wants or likes and that for mom" modifies "bought just means the reason of buying flowers is to give them for my mom.
