Hello,
fight corruption
…….. omitted ……..
Meaning: to try to prevent corruption in government and business
For example:
•If governments were serious about fighting corruption, we'd see more politicians in jail.

Why is the noun ‘government’ used in different ways?
In one case, it is used as an uncountable noun, while in the other case it is used as a countable one.
Thank you
