Evidence is a non-count noun: These nouns don’t have a plural form; there is no such noun as “evidences” – there is an obscure verb, but don’t worry about it now. These nouns take the third person singular form of the verb, meaning we say “Evidence is” not “Evidence are.” These nouns use singular pronouns – “it”, instead of “they”. Don’t use the articles “a” or “an” in front of these nouns. Don’t use “each” or “every” in front of these nouns. Don’t use any numbers or the word “numerous” in front of these nouns. Use “much” instead of “many”. Use “little” instead of “few”. Use “less” instead of “fewer”. Use “some” instead of “several”. Use “amount” instead of “number." If you need a count noun, you can say “piece of evidence”. Then you can use a/each/every/numbers. Which is/are correct? Check all that apply.
