Hello Ruslana"Use" has two usages. The first one is as an uncountable noun and in this usage "use of X" means "activity of using X". (EX) The use of the four-letter word is taboo on TV. In the second usage of "use", "use" is a countable noun and "a use of X" in this usage means "a purpose...

Hello Diamondrg, I think that the right answer is b. such a because energy is a noun (we must use an article there) and we use: such + noun or such + adjective + noun (ex. She is such a nice woman.) so + adjective or so + adverb (ex. She's so nice. He works so slowly.) I'm not sure if we...

Hello AnonI'm a mere English learner from Japan and my role here is rather an asker than an answerer. But if you don't mind, I'd like you to read my ideas about your question. I take "school" in "go to school" or "church" in "go to church" as an uncountable noun. As you suggested, "school" or...

Hi again ng, The subject of your sentence is "some of the items". As you see, the word "items" is used as a plural noun. Therefore, as pieanne said, "some" with plural nouns requires plural verb. But "some" with uncountable nouns requires singular verb. Beware the "nucleus of the subject"...

Good work, Khai Minh. 1. No; B is the answer-- 'oil' is a non-specific uncountable noun here. 2. Right. 'Send' is the main verb. 3. Good guess. 'Chain' as an adjective should be singular, and 'restaurants' as the subject should be plural to agree with the verb 'have'. 4. Right. A is a...

Uncountable nouns are things we cannot count, like 'rice', 'kerosene' and 'information'. They therefore have no plural form ('-s' form): 'Much rice. Much kerosene. Much information.' -- fine. '*Two rices. *Two kerosenes. *Two informations.' -- no good! They also take a singular verb: ...
