употребляется. в единственном или во множественном числе? I can see a woods??

you can say 'a forest' (in general), or 'the forest' (a particular one), and 'the woods' (the one that you're walking through), but it would seem strange to refer to a collection of trees as 'a woods' (because of number agreement) or 'a wood' (because that would refer to a particular piece of lumber.
'forests' are bigger than 'woods'. But a small collection of trees is not necessarily 'the woods'. Something smaller (without specifying actual size) would be called 'a stand of trees'. (i.e. if you can go into the collection and not see the end of the trees, then you're not in a stand of trees)
'forest' has a slightly more official, formal feel to it than 'woods'.

Thank you very much.I have understood at last. But during the lesson I couldn't explain this difference to 8 year-old children.

Alex, you can actually say “through a wood” or “through a woods” (I don’t know why, but you can) to mean через лес or сквозь лес.

Uly, I know you can't be wrong (wremember - the W is silent), however, I believe we shouldn't confuse 8-year-old kids 😜.

Anyway, if it's not about particular "THE woods", "A woods" is not as frequent as WOODS or forest: https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=through+a+woods%2Cthrough+woods%2C+through+a+forest&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cthrough%20a%20woods%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cthrough%20woods%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cthrough%20a%20forest%3B%2Cc0

I understand. I was just letting you know for your personal edification 😉
