Information consists of facts or details about a person, event or subject.

The idea

Use information without an ordinary plural: some information; information is. Ask for information about the buses. Count one item as a piece of information.

Examples

  • Where can I get information about the buses?
  • The information is on the website.
  • She gave me useful information.
  • Please check this information before sharing it.
  • One piece of information is missing.
  • We need more information about the plan.
