Common Errors

Please help me!

When there are too many children, there is not enough money to give everyonge good food, cloth and recreational facilities.

My teacher tells me that cloth should be changed into clothing. I make me confused that why I can't change it into clothes.
Many Thanks in Advance

You can change it to 'clothing', 'clothes', 'apparel' or 'garments', but ' food and clothing ' is a set phrase, so 'clothing' is the best choice in this case.
