@Loren__ Thank you for the help! In your example sentences, it has exercises and more exercise. Can exercise be a countable noun and an uncountable noun?

@you_wu
countable: a short piece of written work that you do to practise something you are learning:
example:
The book has exercises at the end of every chapter.
