Carrying the loads / some loads

Vincent, how could you possibly be reviving these old sentences? We went through all the permutations of loading a van months ago. Have you reviewed the threads that we answered then?

Dear Sir,

Please check it properly, I didn't ask about this thread.

That's why I ask it. Please help me, thanks!

OK, then: what do you think might be wrong with your sentences, Vincent?

Normally I will use it as a verb, but now I use it as a noun, I'm not sure whether I use it correctly or not.I need your advice, thanks.

a) He is carrying the loads / some loads into the van.


(b) He put the loads into the van.

Your use of 'load' as a noun is appropriate, but it would normally be singular here, since each van carries one load. Using 'load' the way you have suggests that they are loads from another vehicle or container which are being transferred to the van. Once they are in the van, they become one load.

Thanks, I'm wondering why do we use load as a singular and only one load for a van? Why don't we use it as a plural?

Can I say,

(c) He is loading (up) the van. (verb)

(d) He is loading the van with boxes. (verb)

Yes c and d are fine.

Look at the first 4 noun definitions, Vincent:

1.anything put in or on something for conveyance or transportation; freight; cargo: The

Can I say,

He puts the loads in the van.

With the same caveat I have already given you, yes.

Do you mean, my sentence is correct?

He puts the loads in the van.
