1 Five difficult areas

The main problem areas with singular/plural for international students are shown here.

a) Nouns should agree with verbs, and pronouns with nouns: There are many arguments in favour.

Those problems are unique.

b) Uncountable nouns and irregular plurals usually have no final ‘s’: Most students receive free tuition.

The main export is tropical fruit.

c) General statements normally use the plural: State universities have lower fees.

d) ‘Each/every’ are followed by singular noun and verb forms: Every student gets financial support.
