用法筆記

Uncountable: say 'a lot of funding', 'extra funding', 'more funding' — never 'a funding' or 'two fundings'. Common verbs: secure, receive, raise, provide, cut, withdraw. Distinguish from 'fund' (singular, countable: a sum of money set aside) and 'funds' (plural, the money itself).

常見錯誤

I applied for two fundings.
I applied for two grants.' OR 'I applied for funding from two organisations.
'funding' is uncountable, so use a countable noun like 'grant' for individual amounts.
They cut the funding off.
They cut the funding.' OR 'They cut off the funding.
'cut' alone is enough; the phrasal verb keeps 'off' before 'funding'.
