Question

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If no substitution is required, select ‘No substitution’.
I’ve got a lot of homeworks this weekend.

A.

a lot of homework

B.

No substitution

C.

a lots of homework

D.

much homework

Correct option is A

The correct substitution of the highlighted words is (a) a lot of homework.

Explanation:
"Homework" is an uncountable noun, and uncountable nouns do not take a plural form. Therefore, adding "s" to make "homeworks" is incorrect.

Grammatical Rule Used:
Uncountable noun rule – Uncountable nouns (like homework, advice, luggage, information) do not take plural forms and should not be used with plural verbs or quantifiers that imply countability.

Incorrect: a lot of homeworks
Correct: a lot of homework

Correct Sentence:
"I’ve got a lot of homework this weekend."

Information-booster:
Uncountable nouns are quantified using expressions like:

  • A lot of homework
  • Some advice
  • Much information
    Avoid using articles like "a/an" or adding -s to them.
