Each / all / etc + work (uncourtable)
Hi,
Could you please correct my 3 sentences?
For sentence 2, 3, could u please tell me whether singular or plural should be used?
Sentence1:
I will allocated sufficient amonut of time to each of my work to ensure that it can be delivered before its deadline.
Sentence2:
I will allocated sufficient amonut of time to all of my work to ensure that it / they can be delivered before its / their deadline(s).
Sentence3:
I will allocated sufficient amonut of time to my work to ensure that it / they can be delivered before its / their deadline (s).
Note that:
"work" is uncourtable in this case
Thanks
