brush
When used as a noun for a tool, 'brush' is a countable noun (e.g., 'a brush', 'two brushes'). When referring to wild shrubs or dense vegetation, it is typically an uncountable noun, meaning you do not usually say 'a brush' or 'brushes' to describe the area. As a verb, remember that 'brush' can be used for both hygiene (like teeth) and artistic activities (like painting).
