Question

what kind of noun is news​

Answer 1

Answer:

We use the uncountable noun news to mean 'information or reports about recent events'. It takes a singular verb: The news is good about Mary.

Explanation:

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.
