Dear teachers,
Can you tell me when we use"disability" as an uncounted noun, and when as a counted noun? Just as the following sentence:
She managed to lead a normal life in spite of her "disabilities".
Can we use "disability" here?
Thank you very much! |

| In your sentence, it depends on whether or not she has more than one disability. Either could be correct, depending on your meaning. |
