Note
Only some meanings of thought can be counted, and the plural belongs to those: individual ideas and opinions (her thoughts on the plan) or a group's way of thinking. The uncountable meanings stay singular. These are the process of thinking, careful deliberation, and the dialectal sense of anxiety. So you give a problem some thought, not some thoughts. The plural points to particular things in the mind, not the activity of thinking.
