ENGLISH-SENTENCE CORRECTION RULES

HI ,here you can find some rules regarding nouns,pronouns,verb,adjective etc.

NOUNS.

RULES:

1. a collective noun takes a singular verb when whole verb is taken as singular unit

     Eg: my family consists of 4 members
           
   here family is a collective noun .it represent whole members as a single unit,so verb 'consists'(singular) is 
used
          suppose if we take members of a family separately then plural verb is used
   
    Eg: my family members have taken their seats

   here the sentence means that each of my family members occupied respective seats.so we used have  instead of has

2.when material noun denotes mass of matter.it is used in singular form

the best example is :The house is made of bricks and stones(wrong),  it should be "The house is made of brick and stone"(correct)

this might be a bit confusing try making examples of your own

3.some nouns have same form for plural & singular usage
