Grammar

is or are

Hello -

I always had questions about the following:

Information is confidential or are confidential

Let me know if you have any further questions or question

Rice is cooked or are cooked (what does this mean exactly? implies what?)

People are nice or is nice

How to use cloth, clothing, and clothes?

How to use fruite, fruites, fish, and fishes?

What are the concepts behind these rules?

Thank you,

Kate
