Dear teachers,
according to my Longman dictionary "sponsorship" is an uncount noun. So you cannot use it with "a" as in: "He was given a sponsorship."
But let's imagine the following situation: Somebody (e.g. an unknown artist) hopes to attract the attention of more than one sponsor in order to get more than one sponsorship.
Is it then possible to say: "He hoped to be offered several sponsorships" ?
To me it sounds okay but does that also apply to a native speaker?
I'm looking forward to reading your answer(s)
Thanks in advance
