I took the accuplacer test today!!!!

One question, why can't I use SEEK from the setence above?

This sentence?

• But the reason I post this is to seek ask for help.

You used two verbs that were, in a sense, competing with each other. One can either seek help or ask for help. Since you were asking a question, ask for help seems to be the logical choice. Of course, the desired result is the same in either case.

hahaha, so it wasn't were. But why "WAS" could you explain?

[Tdol]

For me, the plural sits very uncomfortably with uncountable nouns, even a few of them.

Ok, now there are two "were" vote one one "was" vote. So which one is it really? And why is it?

One this one, I voted for the plural because we are thinking about people here.
