room

When referring to a part of a building, "room" is a countable noun (e.g., one room, two rooms). When referring to unoccupied space, "room" is typically an uncountable noun. You should not say "a room" or "rooms" when talking about available space; instead, use phrases like "some room" or "enough room." The verb "room" is most commonly used in the context of students or people sharing a living space, often seen in the phrase "rooming with someone."
