Study

When is "studies" used? "How is your study going?", "How are your studies going"? Are both fine sentences?

Can Study or studies be preceded with modifiers? "How is/are your English study/studies going?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

"How is your study going?" is not a natural sentence. You'd hear 'How is your studying going?'

Can . . .  studies be preceded with modifiers?  Yes.

Best wishes, Clive

Thank you for your help. I found "studies" on on-line Cambridge Dictionary. I wondered if I can say "How are your English studies going? (a) " regardless whether this person is taking one or more English courses. In 2, the example is the name of a department. Is "English studies" in (2) correct?
