Uncountable nouns that take the plural form
Hi,
I am confused with uncountable nouns that are able to take the plural form. Examples of such words would be equipments, details, costs, monies etc.
I believe the nouns I have listed above are all considered uncountable nouns. So, why are they able to take the plural form?
Also, do I use a singular or plural verb after such nouns?
For example, do I write "The costs are shown below" or "The costs is shown belown"?
