| "Among human abilities..." But, what if I want to start the sentence referring to one ability that belongs to all humans. Would it be OK to put like this?: "Humans ability to..." I know I could just say: "Human ability to..." but I'd like to know if it is correct to say it as the previous sentence. Likewise, I have a list of symptoms for a sickness and every symptom has a scale of "seriousness". So if I want to say that there are various symptoms with a variety of expression, it would be OK for me to say: Symptoms severity? Many thanks for your help |

| The human ability to -- says that this is an ability shared by [all] humans. I would use "the severity of the symptoms" rather than "symptom severity." Does this answer your questions? [a writer, not a teacher] |
