study
When is "studies" used? "How is your study going?", "How are your studies going"? Are both fine sentences?
Can Study or studies be preceded with modifiers? "How is/are your English study/studies going?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
"How is your study going?" is not a natural sentence. You'd hear 'How is your studying going?'
Can . . . studies be preceded with modifiers? Yes.
Best wishes, Clive

Well, if the person you are talking to is a researcher who is involved in "a study" (and when they are, it occupies a huge portion of their lives), you can ask about how "the study" is going.
But I believe, like you, that the general intention was to ask "how is school?" so that "your study" is not appropriate in that context.

Thank you for your help. I found "studies" on on-line Cambridge Dictionary. I wondered if I can say "How are your English studies going? (a) " regardless whether this person is taking one or more English courses. In 2, the example is the name of a department. Is "English studies" in (2) correct?
