I have a question concerning the word "homework". I �m preparing an activity for my students using the 12 Days of Christmas and I want my students to write a version of the song. As an example, I prepared the 12 days of Christmas, teacher version.
Here is an example:
On the fourth day of Christmas, my true love sent to me 4 homework at home 3 lost pencils 2 runny noses and a student who missed his schoolbus.
How would you write homework? Would you put a plural form to it? I �ve never seen it written with an "s".
didactics, education, educational activity, instruction, pedagogy, teaching - the activities of educating or instructing; activities that impart knowledge or skill; "he received no formal education"; "our instruction was carefully programmed"; "good classroom teaching is seldom rewarded"
- "Homeworks" sounds really odd : maybe you could use "assignments" instead ?
"works" are, as far as I know, only those (piececes) of art work done by artists.
No, I don �t think you can say 4 homeworks, but you can say 4 homework assignments/ a lot of homework/their homework....
Homework is the plural and singular form. "They all had a ton of homework to turn in." "Today I received only one piece of homework." "The students � homework scores have shown significant improvement."
How about "lessons" if you want to stick to two syllables? Or even "four lessons left at home" for some extra alliteration?
Karka is right; homework is non-count/uncountable.
