----> Bad news never makes people happy.
The word “news” in English is considered singular and uncountable. So we use the singular forms of verbs, like is and was: the news is on channel 5, the news was surprising. Don’t use are or were.
****But a more common mistake is saying “a news.” With uncountable nouns, we never use a or an. So don’t say, “I heard a good news” – this might be possible in your native language, but in English you should say “I heard some good news.”
-----> I frequently give my students many advices about adequate study habits.
Slightly surprisingly, “advice” is an uncountable (mass) noun in English (like “water” or “sand”), and as such it has no plural form:
correct : His advice was very helpful.
wrong: His advices were very helpful.
Thus, we speak about the amount of advice, not the “number of advices”:
correct: I didn’t receive much advice.
wrong: I didn’t receive many advices.
Since it is uncountable, we cannot say “an advice”. We would usually say just “advice” (without an article), or, if it is necessary to emphasize that we think about it as about one piece of information, we use “piece of advice”:
correct: This was good advice.
correct: This was a good piece of advice.
wrong: This was a good advice.
---> He seems to be in a very good health now.
Correct: He seems to be very healthy now.
Health - saúde! Uncountable noun.
---> The informations I received were completely incorrect.
RIGHT --The information I received is completely incorrect.
In English the word “information” is an uncountable noun. You can never, ever, for any reason whatsoever, say “an information” or “informations”. [Actually, this is not quite true.] Instead, if you need to use the word in the singular, you can say “a piece / an item of information”. But usually we simply use “information” for both singular and plural.
