Sure thing! When you're referring to zinc as a material or an element, it remains 'zinc' in its plural form just like it is in singular. So, you can say, "She used a lot of zinc in her project," whether that refers to one piece or multiple. Now, let's dive a bit deeper. English, like any other language, has some peculiar rules when it comes to plural forms. Some nouns don’t change at all in the plural. These include not only zinc, but other materials and substances such as equipment, information, and gold. This can often come as a curve ball for non-native speakers since it defies the common "add an 's'" rule, but it's one of the exceptions that adds rich diversity to the English language!
