What is the plural of news
The plural form of "news" is actually a bit tricky. Here are the different ways it can be used:
- News (singular): "I read the news yesterday." (Here, "news" refers to a single piece of information or a report.)
- News (plural, but referring to a single type of information): "I read the news every day." (Here, "news" refers to multiple pieces of information, but all of the same type.)
- The news (plural, but referring to multiple specific pieces of information): "I read the news about the election and the weather forecast." (Here, "the news" refers to multiple specific pieces of information.)
- Newses (rarely used, but technically the plural form): "I read many newses about the latest developments." (This is a less common way to refer to multiple pieces of information, but it's not commonly used in everyday language.)
So, to summarize:
- If you're referring to a single piece of information, use "news" (singular).
- If you're referring to multiple pieces of information of the same type, use "news" (plural, but still referring to a single type of information).
- If you're referring to multiple specific pieces of information, use "the news" (plural, but referring to specific pieces of information).
- If you really want to use the plural form, you can use "newses" (but this is less common).
