1 I heard this news in the morning.

2 One of my friends wants to go to France.

3 Each of these children knows the answer by-heart (The determiners each, every, either and neither take a

singular verb.)

4 He is the most intelligent boy in our class (Superlative adjectives take the article the.)

5 She is junior to me (The adjectives junior and senior take the preposition to, not than.)

6 This fabric is superior to that fabric (The adjectives superior and inferior take the preposition to, not than.)

7 I went to the store to buy some stationery (Stationery does not have a plural form.)

8 Measles is infectious (The names of most illnesses, including those ending in –s, are singular in English.)

9 This poem is full of vivid imagery (Imagery is uncountable in English and therefore it does not have a plural

form.)

10 He didn’t want to listen to my advice (Advice is an uncountable noun and therefore it does not have a plural form Advice cannot be used with the article an To show the singular aspect of the noun, use the phrase a piece

of advice To show the plural aspect, use the phrase some advice.)
