    Post Turn Interet(s) To

    "He turned his interest / interests to literature."

    Should the singular or plural form be used?

    Re: Turn Interet(s) To

    Welcome to Using English.

    That doesn't sound very natural.

    He turned his attention to (something)
    His interests turned to literature.
    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.
