Question

• A. This is good furniture.
• B. These are good furnitures.
• C. This is a good furniture.
• D. These are good furniture.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. This is good furniture.

• "Furniture" എന്നത് കണക്കാക്കാനാവാത്ത ഒരു നാമമാണ് (uncountable noun), അതിനർത്ഥം അതിന് ബഹുവചന രൂപമില്ല, ഒന്നിലധികം ഇനങ്ങൾ പരാമർശിക്കുമ്പോൾ "a" അല്ലെങ്കിൽ "these" ഉപയോഗിക്കരുത് (doesn't have a plural form and should not be used with "a" or "these" when referring to multiple items.).
• Therefore, "This is good furniture" correctly uses the singular "this" with the uncountable noun "furniture."
• "These are good furnitures." - Incorrect because "furniture" is uncountable and doesn't have a plural form ("furnitures").
• "This is a good furniture." - Incorrect because "furniture" cannot be preceded by "a" as it is uncountable.
• "These are good furniture." - Incorrect because "furniture" is uncountable and should be referred to with "this," not "these."
