Hi everybody!

Yesterday I was helpping a friend of mine to do an exercise based on the passive voice. It was all right until we got to a sentence:
‘We have done our homework’
The point is that I realized that I don’t know if the word homework takes the plural, the singular or it depends on how much homework you have (it is just a grammar exercise so we do not have any context). Therefore I don’t know if the passive remains:
‘Our homework have been done’
‘Our homework has been done’
Or if both of them are possible.

Thanks in advance.:)

    Our homework has been done.

    It (the homework) has been done.

    Homework is always singular. You can have lots of homework, but it is collectively described as just ‘homework’.

    Hello, here’s my opinion. «Homework» always takes a singular form of the verb. It sounds better to say «Our homework is done.» With «Our homework has been done,» you imply that someone else did your homework. You could say, however, that «our homework has been done for weeks already.» Sorry if it’s complicated. ;)

    Yes, I see your point, it’s like when you say «my hair has been cut» or «my car has been repaired» which obviously do not mean that you have done it by yourself. However, there are some English teachers that just follow a grammar book (regardless which constructions are used in the everyday language), they give the children a chart containing some equivalences and expect them to use them strictly… so I think it is better for my friend to use the previous form (although I will explain her what you have highlighted).
    Thank you both so much.:thumbsup:

    In English there are two classes of noun designated as «countable» and «uncountable.»

    http://esl.about.com/od/grammarforbeginners/a/g_cucount.htm
    «Uncountable nouns are materials, concepts, information, etc. which are not individual objects and can not be counted.
    information, water, understanding, wood, cheese, etc.
    Uncountable nouns are always singular. Use the singular form of the verb with uncountable nouns.»

    The word «work» used as a noun meaning «labor» is uncountable, as are all the words built on it (schoolwork; housework; homework.)

    Tip: See my list of the Most Common Mistakes in English. It will teach you how to avoid mis­takes with com­mas, pre­pos­i­tions, ir­reg­u­lar verbs, and much more.

    First, let me note that “homework” is an uncountable (mass) noun in English. It is a common mistake, even among some non-native teachers of English as a foreign language, to say things like, “Hand in your homeworks, please.” The word “homework”, being uncountable, does not have a plural form. If you really must refer to several separate “pieces” of homework, the word you are looking for is “assignment”:

    correct You will get two separate homework assignments today.

    wrong You will get two separate homeworks today.

    It is also not possible to use “homework” with “a”:

    correct Do you have homework?

    correct Do you have any homework?

    wrong Do you have a homework?

    Let’s move on to the main topic of this article. Without further ado, the correct verb to use with “homework” is “do”, not “make”:

    correct I did my homework yesterday.

    wrong I made my homework yesterday.

    “Homework” is not in any way special in this respect. We always use “do” with activities and “make” with objects that are being made. Just like we “do work”, not “make work”, we also “do homework”, meaning the activity.

    The confusion arises from the fact that the most direct translation of “homework” into other languages often refers to the sheets of paper on which the assignments are written, hence it would make sense to “make it”. For the very same reason, we wouldn’t usually speak about “writing homework”:

    correct I have to do my homework now.

    unnatural I have to write my homework now.

    Does she do her homework?

    To ask a question, we need to use an auxiliary verb at the beginning of the sentence. In our case, the auxiliary verb is do: this is called do-support.

    But since «she» is a singular third-person pronoun, we turn do into does. The first do carries the third-person ending s(or es) instead of the second. So there’s no reason to leave the second verb with the same ending.

    Compare:

    She flew home. («Flew» is the Past Tense form of «fly»)
    Did she fly home?

    Notice how the auxiliary verb do assumed the Past Tense form did, and the main verb fly now has no need to be in the Past Tense form: the auxiliary verb does this work.

    The main verb contains the meaning, the auxiliary verb is a «helping verb».

    In your example sentence, the first do (in the form does) is an auxiliary verb, and the second do (in the form do) is a main verb.

    Confusing words: Homework vs. Housework

    Многим знакомо слово homework – домашняя работа. В то же время не все сталкивались в своей практике со словом housework. Учитывая, что home и house в некоторых контекстах выступают как синонимы, некоторые пользователи английского языка склонны считать, что homework и housework также имеют одинаковое значение. В этом состоит их ошибка.
