delight
When used as a noun to describe the feeling of happiness, 'delight' is usually uncountable (e.g., "filled with delight"). However, when referring to a specific thing that causes pleasure, it is a countable noun (e.g., "a real delight"). As a verb, be careful with the preposition. When you enjoy doing something, use 'delight in' followed by a gerund (the -ing form of a verb). For example: "He delights in cooking for others."
