Circumstance
Hello,
Can circumstance be singular? HOw to use it with an article? Or, is it always circumstances?
2) I am assuming litter as in dirt is noncount. Can we then say a lot of litter?
3) Can one say: he jumped out of his chair or jumped from his chair? Which is appropriate when it comes to chair?
4) Do we need either? He didn't ignore the exploitation inherent in capitalism or the lack of freedom inherent in communism. (do we need either such as ... ignore either the exploitation...)
Also, can we use neither like this: But neither can we assess his progress.
TIA
