Uncountable and Plural Nouns uporabljamo

Neštevni samostalniki se običajno obravnavajo kot edninski: information, advice, furniture. Poleg tega se nekateri samostalniki končajo na -s, vendar se še vedno obravnavajo kot edninski: news, physics, politics. Drugi samostalniki pa obstajajo le v množinski obliki: clothes, scissors, trousers, glasses. Ta tema vam pomaga izbrati pravilno glagolsko obliko, se izogniti dodajanju odvečnega -s in uporabljati strukture, kot sta a pair of in a piece of.

Physics is my favourite subject.
Fizika je moj najljubši predmet.
The news is good today.
Novice so danes dobre.
My trousers are too long.
Moje hlače so predolge.
These scissors are very sharp.
Te škarje so zelo ostre.

Uncountable and Plural Nouns Oblika

Tukaj je pomembno razlikovati med neštevnimi samostalniki, ki se običajno obravnavajo kot edninski, samostalniki, ki se končajo na -s, vendar so po pomenu edninski, in samostalniki, ki imajo samo množinsko obliko in zato zahtevajo glagol v množini.
