Plural or singular
“I will give
all of my being.”
Grammarly says:
The singular countable noun being follows the quantifier all of, which requires a plural noun.
Does this rule always have to be followed?
(an example, I think?, where I didn’t: “all of the kingdom”)
(or, “a flow of affections”) but something singular can consist of multiple things right?
