<p>It may be difficult to understand the difference between <strong>experience</strong> and <strong>experiences</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Experience</strong> has two meanings. The first is <em>something that has happened to you</em>. You might say, I had <strong>a strange experience</strong> on my way to work this morning.</p>



<p>This <strong>experience</strong> can take the plural form, <strong>experiences</strong>:</p>



<p>He talked about his bad <strong>experiences</strong> with cheap hotels.<br>You wouldn’t believe me if I told you about my <strong>experiences</strong> in the Himalayas.</p>



<p>The other meaning of <strong>experience</strong> is<em> what you have learnt</em> from studies or work or from familiarity with something. This is what you would write in your CV. <strong>Experience</strong> in this case is an uncountable noun; it cannot be used in the plural.</p>



<p>You must have at least five years of <strong>teaching experience</strong>.<br><strong>In my experience</strong>, this is a very good car.</p>

<p><strong>Experience</strong> can also be a verb:</p>



<p>She <strong>experienced</strong> a sense of being valued for her brains and not only for her beauty.</p>
