Wellcome to the forums, nadida. Can you give us an example of what you mean?Quote:

"Some person just stole my wallet".

QUOTE)Well,thanks,that's what I asked for,if there is a countable noun in singular,because we usually use it meaning NOT MANY,with plural or NOT MUCH,for UC,but sometimes I hear it with countable singular,is it the same with formal English?(QUOTE)Quote:
