study or studies

0Hi there,02br
02br
00I don't know how to differentiate 'study' from 'studies' . Both of them are nouns. For example, the pressures of study and exams. OR the pressures of studies and exams. I don't know when I should use 'study' as a noun and 'studies' as a noun.02br

0Hi,02br 02br 00Something you might want to consider is that we often use the gerund form 'studying' in such cases as your example, ie01font 00 the pressures of study01b 00ing 02b 00and exams. 02font 00 Here, the word 'studies' is used much more 'passively' and objectively. 02br 02br 00Best wishes, Clive0-

00I checked the meaning of 'studies'. It seems that 'studies' means 'studying'. So can I use 'studies' in the example?02br

Hi,

i am sometimes still confused about using the word study and studies.

For example

I would like to continue my study or studies to the university. Which one is correct.

This is if I choose the word study/studies instead of education.
