Singular or plural? (news, series, United States, etc.) | common mistakes in English (EZEE #10)

Hello everyone. This is Minoo at Anglo-Link.

Welcome to Lesson 10 in my EZEE series.

As you know, we're going to fix some more common errors

to increase your confidence in speaking English.

Remember that mistakes are a natural part of the learning process,

so make sure you never apologise  for making mistakes,

especially when you're learning a complicated language like English.

 Today's lesson is about words that end in 's'

but are not plural, like 'series', 'news', and 'headquarters'.

So, which one is correct:

'this news' or 'these news'?

Let's look at some slides together to find out  the answer.

Well, that is the end of Lesson 10.

I hope you now feel fully confident to use these common words.

If you sometimes doubt whether to use a singular or a plural verb,

visit my YouTube channel and look for the video 'Subject-Verb Agreement'.

You can also  use the link at the end of this video.
