Hi, what is the factor in this sentence that determines the plurality if she has taught numerous students for a long period but taught one student at a time? For a list, use student names or students' names Remember that nouns can function as adjectives in english If you want to show group possession, you put an apostrophe after the s These are the students’ book these are the students’ books the apostrophe is positioned directly after the person or thing it relates to In this case the student or students, not the book or books.
As a native bre speaker i would use pupil for the younger children and student for older ones, particularly those in tertiary education (colleges of higher education and university) I would never call a university student a pupil Older teenagers in 6th form colleges would also be more likely to be called students However even some junior schools call their children students I'm having difficulty understanding when to use students' vs students I know you use students' when you're talking about more than one student
But grammatically, there is a difference Nurdug's one of the students' name = {one of the students}' name Your one of the students' names = one of {the students' names} In informal conversation, we might conceivably use nurdug's formulation, because the context would make it clear what we were talking about. 1 all the students and all of the students mean the same thing regardless of context When you qualify all three with in the school, they become interchangeable
But without that qualifier, all students would refer to all students everywhere, and the other two would refer to some previously specified group of students. Please have this post focus on the situations relevant to students or other countable noun plural The different between all of the time and all the time please see (all of the time vs All the time when referring to situations) Other discussion related to time, please take a loot at here. Can either a singular or a plural verb be used with none of the students, none of them, none of us
None of the students do the homework. 2 None of us/them do the homework. 3 None of the people come here. All is usually used with plural verb forms, especially when we say all the x or all of the x where x is plural The people is plural, because there are more than one, so all of the people is likewise plural, and the correct answer is a, all of the people are students B is not correct because a student is singular, but all of the people is plural
All of the people are a student.
