What's the deal with this? Singular or Plural?
Okay, imagine I wanted to point some things out to you. Depending on what I'm pointing towards, the sentence structure changes.
Scenario #1: Singular
"Look at that book!"
Scenario #2: Plural
"Look at all those magazines!"
But then, there's seemingly a third structure:
Scenario #3: ???:
"Look at all that paper!"
The word 'paper' doesn't work in Scenario #2, and the word 'book' from scenario #1 doesn't work in place of 'paper' in Scenario #3. That begs the question: are words like 'paper' and 'wood' singular or plural? Is there a third option I don't know about? What's the classification here? I'd love to know~
