"Information" = uncountable noun but...
Hello,
I´ve got a problem with the word "information".
I know that it´s only used in singular. To refer to the plural I have to say: pieces of information. Now my question: In case I want to express the plural do I have to use the plural verb form or the singular verb form?
For example: "We sometimes get information which are really unnecessary." Right or wrong? What about that sentence: These information are a blessing or a curse. Right or wrong?
I´m getting confused. Is it the same as with "news" ? This news is good (referring to the plural)
Please, help me!!!
Thanx a lot,
Sandra.
Re: "Information" = uncountable noun but...
"We sometimes get information which are really unnecessary." Right or wrong? Should be: We sometimes get information which is really unnecessary.
These information are a blessing or a curse.
Should read: This information is a blessing or a curse.
"News" is the same, always used as a singular word. :-)
