Por serem incontáveis, é comum que com essas palavras, para que se dê uma idéia de plural, usemos expressões como a piece of, a bar of, a pint of, a liter of, a glass of, a can of, etc. Se assim acontecer, lembre-se de que essas expressões têm plural:
Would you like a piece of cheese?
I have some pieces of advice for you.
She bought two bars of soap in the market.
Se uma palavra é incontável, o verbo que a acompanha deve estar obrigatoriamente no singular:
The news is amazing.
