Reference
Points

 Nouns
plural in form may refer to singular entities (eg. binoculars,
pants),
and some nouns functioning as singulars refer to several events (eg.
news,
athletics).
Collective nouns, such as committee,
team, family,
can take it/which, stressing the unity of the group, or they/who –
stressing the personal individuality of its members.

 Although
English has no grammatical gender, many nouns are given variable
gender when thought of in an intimate way: vehicles and countries
are often called she (as well as it), a baby is referred to as it,
pets are he or she, guns, tanks and trucks which won’t go remain
she, computer devices are given male pet names and pronouns.

 The
English possessive case can express other meanings: a
week’s leave, a summer’s day, the man’s release

 We
do not use a/an or a number with these words: trousers,
binoculars, shorts, shoes, gloves, pajamas, tights, glasses,
earrings, socks, scissors,
etc. We use the phrase a
pair of…
instead.
