Professional TeacherIs equipments a correct word?
No, "equipments" is not a correct word in standard English.
The word "equipment" is an uncountable noun (also known as a mass noun or non-count noun). This means it does not have a plural form. It refers to a collection of items or tools, and it's always treated as singular.
Correct usage:
"We need new equipment for the gym."
"The laboratory has state-of-the-art equipment."
"That piece of equipment is very expensive."
Incorrect usage:
"We need new equipments for the gym."
"The laboratory has state-of-the-art equipments."
If you need to refer to individual items, you can use phrases like:
"pieces of equipment"
"items of equipment"
"types of equipment"
