To put energy into something

Hi there,

today I wanted to say as follows:

"We spent many energies into the preparation of the stand" but then I had a look at the dictionary and realized that maybe, it would be more appropriate this "We put much energy into the preparation of the stand" am I right??Please confirm or advise.

Thank you!!

Pamela

Perchance I can embellish the abovemention'd. 'We endeavour'd to put numberless efforts into the preparation'. ' Howbeit the bulk of the dictionaries labels the noun 'striving' uncountable, I myself am of the opinion that it may be countable when the need arises.

Should you disvalue poets' help such as yours truly, I shall feel most discriminated. Moreo'er, I should not like to take part in any swart-mindedness-led questions that is faring your mind. I befortune to be a native speaker, ergo you are contradicting yourself.

Ah, I wist not that you are on intermediate level. It transpires there is a wide chasm betwixt our vocabulary. What you deem abnormal may be normal unto native speakers. Mine apologies if I have startled you with mine Elizabethan English which is forsooth my natural way of speaking English.

Btw, I hope some of the nice people here will help me.

To candidly confess, I thought you had already told me your farewells.

I do not seem to understand wherefore you are so overly infuriated, for I was merely trying to help. Prithee, do not have me be the subject of your quicksilver temperament. If you were looking upon the bright side of what has just betided, at least when one comes to the realisation that he has yet a long way to amelior
