Uncountable and Plural: sætninger, øvelser, tests og eksempler

Uncountable and Plural Nouns bruger

Utællelige substantiver behandles normalt som ental: information, råd, møbler. Derudover ender nogle substantiver på -s, men behandles stadig som ental: news, physics, politics. Andre substantiver findes dog kun i flertalsform: tøj, sakse, bukser, briller. Dette emne hjælper dig med at vælge den korrekte verbumform, undgå at tilføje et ekstra -s og bruge strukturer som et par og et stykke.

Physics is my favourite subject.
Fysik er mit yndlingsfag.
The news is good today.

My trousers are too long.
