About when to add "s"
Hi, Take this sentence as example: "Investigators have to respect human rights and learn new technology so as to achieve the tasks more effectively." I am not sure why need to add a "s" to right and task. If I can also use "technologies" in this sentence?
Thank you a lot of answering my question.

Hi Shawtime; "Human rights" is a set phrase. Task is made plural by adding an -s. But " achieve tasks " is not quite right.
