countless + 複數名詞 vs countless + 不可數名詞
- countless + 複數名詞 是最常見的用法，強調數量多到無法逐一計算，通常用於可數的人或事物。

「countless」是形容詞，直接修飾名詞，後面不需要加「of」。類似「many」或「numerous」的用法。
×I have countless of friends.
✓I have countless friends.
「countless」修飾可數名詞複數形，直接放在名詞前，中間不加「of」。使用「countless of」是常見錯誤。
×The information on the internet is countless.
✓There is countless information on the internet.
「countless」通常不用在「主詞 + be動詞 + countless」的結構中來描述主詞本身的狀態，而是常用在「There are/is countless + 名詞」的句型中。它更常作為定語形容詞。
×He has a countless number of stamps.
✓He has countless stamps.
「countless」本身已含有「數量多到無法計算」的意思，再加上「a number of」或「amount of」是多餘且不自然的。直接使用「countless + 名詞」即可。
×This is a countless problem.
✓This is a recurring/pervasive problem.
「countless」意指「數量極多」，通常修飾可數名詞的複數形，不用來修飾單數名詞。描述一個問題不斷發生或無所不在，應使用其他形容詞如「recurring」、「persistent」或「pervasive」。
