guys did you do your english homeworks?
Wait what?
That's not right.
Yeah.
Hello guys, My name is funny.
And in this video, I'm going to talk to you about a very common speaking and spelling mistake in english and we're going to focus on the words work and homework.
So the first thing you need to know when the word work is a verb, it can take an S.
If it's the third person singular.
So you will say I work hard, he works hard.
Okay.
Very common, very normal.
Vocab.
Okay, so it takes an S.
The third person singular.
That's when work is a verb.
Now, when you say I have a lot of work, work in this case is not a verb, it's a noun and you have to know when work is a noun.
It does not take an S.
Because there's no plural.
You cannot say I have a lot of works.
It's always singular because it's an uncountable now.
Okay, so I have a lot of work or you could say I don't have much work.
Okay, Because it's uncountable now, it can take a plural form, but only if it means not mental exertion.
Like I have a lot of work, but if it means a series of art pieces or literature pieces and that's the only meaning of the word work that allows you to use the plural form.
So for example, you can say the works of Picasso the works of Picasso, meaning the paintings of Picasso.
Okay, so art pieces, That's not the same as I have a lot of work.
Okay.
Now when you use the compound noun homework, it's exactly the same as work as an uncountable noun.
It's uncountable.
Okay, so when you say I have a lot of homeworks, it's wrong.
You cannot use the plural form.
It's uncountable.
You have to say I have a lot of homework.
If you really want to emphasis the fact that you have many things to do at home, you can use another word and say assignment.
You can say I have many assignments.
It's the same as homework but it is countable.
Okay, so in a nutshell walk as a verb, so does take an S If it's the third person singular work as a noun is uncountable unless it means pieces of art or pieces of literature and the word homework is also uncountable.
No plural form.
Okay guys, I really hope you understand that.
