Stuff and thing:东西 物品
Thing refers to single countable objects (e.g. a car, a mouse) Things refers to plural countable objects (e.g. clothes, spiders, pens) Stuff refers to uncountable objects (e.g. oil, infomp3ation) or a collection of countable objects (like things) e.g. a lot of clothes, shopping items.
We often use these words when both the speaker and the listener know which objects are being discussed, or when we don't know the exact word, or even when there isn't an exact word.
