evidence

When used as a noun, "evidence" is almost always uncountable. This means you should not say "an evidence" or "evidences". Instead, use "a piece of evidence" if you need to refer to one specific item. As a verb, the word is quite formal and less common in everyday conversation. It is typically used in academic writing or professional reports to describe how something proves a certain quality.
