hanuman_2000  +  554627 Thu, 14 Aug 08 04:41 AM Hello, I have to rewrite the following sentences, changing the nouns and pronouns into their plural forms.   1.  A rose plant has thorns. 1.a  The rose plants have thorns. 1.b  Rose plants have thorns. Now I have one doubt, Shall I  write  as 1.a or 1.b? When a sentence start with  "A" for example 2. A book is made of paper. Shall I write The books are made of papers.   OR Books are made of paper.   What are the rules? Please help me. Thanks. hanuman_2000 Joined on Thu, Aug 12 2004 INDIA Contributing Member 1,644 Plurals, Nouns, Pronouns

To singularize the definite 'The books are made of paper', use 'The book is made of paper'. .
