Consider the case when a teacher has thirty students in the class. The noun "homework" is uncountable so he cannot say "I have thirty homeworks to grade every week." My question is that if there is any unit of homework so that the sentence "I have thirty (units) of homework to grade every week" can be valid?
In your example, you could use pieces , as in I have thirty pieces of homework to grade every week .
piece noun [ C ] (THING) a single object of a particular type: a piece of furniture/clothing/equipment a piece of paper (= a whole sheet) a piece of china (= an object made of china) a piece of information/advice (Cambridge Dictionary)
However, that doesn't seem particularly idiomatic to me. You could use assignments , as in homework assignments :
assignment noun [ C/U ] us /əˈsɑɪn·mənt/ a particular job or responsibility given to you: [C] The homework assignment was to read Chapter 2 in our history book. (Cambridge Dictionary)
However, in my experience, it's more common to use the type of assignment instead of homework . I think the most broad term is assignment , but you could be more specific: I have 30 ______ to grade every week.
I was very briefly a grader (or, "reader") in a related field. I can't remember exactly how I talked about it, but if someone asked me, "How much homework do you need to grade?", I would probably reply
I need to grade thirty [assignments] every week.
You could also say sets (as others have mentioned), or even submissions (more generic). I'm thinking maybe even "papers", but that's usually used with reports or essay-like works.
I don't think I would have responded in the form you supplied, "I need to grade thirty (units) homework every week." But, that's just my personal feeling of it. You can still use pieces , as mentioned earlier. It may or may not sound slightly strange to the listener, but you will be understood.
To my surprise, BrE users are reporting that pieces of homework is idiomatic to them. I did a little Ngram search , and it appears that the phrase is more common in BrE.
I'm from the West Coast (US).
You are given homework assignments :
[Merriam-Webster] 2 b : a specified task or amount of work assigned or undertaken as if assigned by authority • a homework assignment The students were given a homework assignment .
You pick a different noun that is more flexible yet appropriate.
I have thirty reports to grade. I have thirty assignments to mark.
You're asking about the teacher's workload in evaluating the homework that has been returned.
I think the word 'sets' is what you're looking for.
I have 30 sets of math homework to grade, and I still have 8 sets of geography homework from yesterday that I'm not done with.
set (MW, noun definition 2)
a number of things of the same kind that belong or are used together
The dictionaries don't seem to have caught up yet but, as somebody who regularly sets and marks homework in a university in the UK, I would quite happily refer to "marking 30 homeworks". A comment on another answer says that this is also used in the US.
So, at least for informal use, I think it's fine to use homework as a countable noun and pluralize it. If you wanted to be more formal, I'd go with my usual cowardly solution of rewording to avoid the problem: "I have to grade 30 students' homework" or "I have to grade homework for 30 students."
I suggest you use the word exercise . It's one of the most frequently used words in this meaning(=homework) & it's countable too.
Well, there are other simple ways:
For homework , you're going to finish thirty exercises every week.
In other words:
Do Exercises 3, 4, 5 etc on pages 51, 52, 53 etc for homework .
If you are student you can say:
My science teacher always sets a lot of homework. The teacher told us to do thirty exercises for homework.
If you are teacher you can also say:
For homework I want you to do thirty exercises.
I'd quantify it by the amount of students whose homework you have to grade.
"I have homework of 30 students to grade this weekend"
At MIT, most courses assign homework in " problem sets ".
A typical engineering student has to do four problem sets per week: one for each course that he or she is enrolled in.
A typical TA (Teaching Assistant) has to grade dozens of problem sets per week: one for each student in his (or rarely her) recitation section(s).
A typical problem set consists of several problems.
Some courses (especially in Technical Writing and the Humanities) require students to write weekly essays, instead of solve weekly problem sets.
'30 sets of homework' perhaps.
But 'I've got 30 homeworks to mark' doesn't sound wrong.

Introduction.
Adjectives describe nouns or pronouns. Adjectives answer the questions what kind , which one , how many , or how much . Some examples are a fast car , an orange flower , and five teams .
Adverbs describe verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. Adverbs answer the questions how , when , where , and to what extent . Some adverbs are made by adding an -ly to an adjective ( loudly , slowly ). However, most adverbs do not have a form that is easy to spot. Some examples are wait patiently , speak now , sit there , and very quickly .
Articles identify a noun as general ( a tree ) or specific ( the tree ). The articles are a , an , and the .
Conjunctions combine parts of a sentence, or whole sentences, into one sentence. Some conjunctions are and , but , and or . An example is “It was raining, but I did not get wet. I had an umbrella.”
Interjections are used to show emotion. Some examples of interjections are wow , ouch , hooray , and oh no .
Nouns identify people, places, or things. A common noun is a general word or name ( president , country , bridge ). A proper noun is the name of a specific person, place, or thing ( George Washington , France , Golden Gate Bridge ).

Noun worksheets, lessons, and tests.
Understanding the parts of speech is fundamental to learning more advanced concepts like sentence structure , grammar, and punctuation. That's why so many language arts units start with the parts of speech. And, if you are starting a unit on the parts of speech, one of the better places to begin is by studying nouns .
Nouns are words that refer to people, places, and things. Most grade school students can tell you this. But the study of nouns gets a little more complex. There are many types of nouns such as common and proper, singular and plural, and abstract and concrete. It is helpful to know these distinctions when studying language. Over the years I've created a catalog of noun worksheets and activities that work well in the classroom. These include multiple-choice tests, practice activities suitable for homework or classroom activities, as well as online noun activities that give students instant feedback and save teachers' time. I've posted all of these activities to this page and made them freely accessible to teachers, parents, and students. May we all one day have a better understanding of what we are saying.

Thanks for visiting!
Do you have the answer to the worksheets? Would help a lot, thank you
I apologize, browsing so fast I didn’t pay attention to the answer key at the end of each set of lessons. Thank you, the lessons and questions are excellent.
This exercise is not so good as I thought. It is full of mistakes and quality of the exercises are also not very good. Please recognise these mistakes and improve the exercises.
Hello. I’m sorry that your experience using these materials was negative. If you report the errors as you notice them, I will correct them. Best wishes.
Please report the mistakes as you encounter them and I will fix them. I’m just a single person and could use your expertise to improve this site and these resources.
I am so impressed with the way you answered this person’s comment. I really appreciate all of your hard work and although I as well do not always agree with some of the material, I find that when it comes to grammar there are many differences of opinion. Again I thank you for sharing all of your hard work. It is a very valuable resource.
A couple of the documents on this page need to be reformatted. They are skewed.
I love your website.
Thank you for saying this.
The problem with having editable .rtf files is that they appear differently depending on which device / program you are using to open them.
They are great if you want to make a change to a file, but other than that, I highly recommend using the .PDF files.
PDF files are formatted for print and will display in a uniform manner despite the device / program on which you open them.
So, I’m sorry that the .RTF files are not displaying properly for you on your current device. I encourage you to try the .PDF files.
Best wishes!
SO useful! Thanks!

Homework, a word you often hear at school. It’s the tasks your teachers give you to do at home. It’s not always fun, but it’s a big part of learning.
You might wonder why homework is important. It helps you practice what you’ve learned and prepares you for upcoming lessons.
Hello everyone, today’s topic is ‘Homework’.
Homework, a word that might make some of you groan. But, let’s look at it from a fresh perspective. Picture homework as the key to the treasure of knowledge. It is the practice that makes your learning perfect.
Think of your favorite sport. To improve your game, you practice it repeatedly, right? Homework follows the same rule. It helps us practice what we’ve learned in school. It strengthens our understanding and makes us better at the topics we learn.
Now, let’s talk about time management. Got a lot of homework and not enough time? This is where you learn to manage your time. Juggling homework with other tasks teaches you to plan your time wisely. It’s a vital skill for the future.
Homework also helps us become independent thinkers. It’s your chance to solve problems by yourself. You might make mistakes, but that’s how you learn! It’s like learning to ride a bike. You fall, but you get up and try again until you succeed.
Lastly, remember, homework is a bridge between school and home. It lets your parents see what you are learning. They can help you, encourage you, and share in your learning journey.
In conclusion, homework is not a burden, but a tool for growth. It helps us practice, manage time, think independently, and connect with our families. So, the next time you get homework, see it as your chance to shine. Thank you.

Good day, everyone. Let’s talk about a word that rings in our ears every day – homework. It’s a word that can make us feel many things, sometimes excitement, sometimes dread. But no matter how we feel, homework is an important part of our lives. It’s as much a part of school as classrooms and teachers.
Firstly, let’s talk about why homework is important. It’s not just busy work; it plays a big role in our learning. When we do homework, we practice what we learnt in school. Imagine if you wanted to learn how to ride a bike and you only tried it once. You may not get it right. But when you practice riding again and again, you get better at it. Homework is like that. It’s practice. The more we practice, the better we get.
Also, homework is a tool that teaches us responsibility. When we have homework, it’s up to us to finish it and turn it in on time. No one else can do it for us. This teaches us to be responsible. It teaches us to manage our time, to work hard, and to be dependable. These are skills that we need not only in school but also in life.
However, let’s not forget that too much homework can be a problem too. Just like eating too much candy is not good, having too much homework is not good either. It can make us feel stressed and tired. It can take away time from other things that are important like playing, spending time with family, or getting enough sleep. So, it’s important that we have just the right amount of homework.
We also have speeches on more interesting topics that you may want to explore.
When people think of grammar they often associate it with having to learn a long list of boring and complex rules that are difficult to understand. Whilst some of the rules will need to be memorised, it is important to master the basics because grammar enables us to analyse language in detail and understand the true meaning and intention of words, phrases, sentences, clauses and passages of speech used in everyday conversation. It is a tool that helps us to explain how language works, so that like our ancestors we can keep the English language alive and encourage its constant evolution, as words and phrases from other dialects begin to merge into our everyday conversations.
Being able to memorise technical definitions of grammar will not be enough if you want to truly master the English language, because in order to truly understand how it is used by native speakers to communicate both socially and culturally, it is essential to understand the basics of grammar and how it is used to communicate effectively.
We all know that when joined together single words create phrases and sentences, which can be further expanded to create longer forms of speech or text.
But for now let’s take a moment to think about a sentence and how it's structured.
In simple terms a sentence is no more than a series of words joined together to create something that we can all relate to by decoding its meaning and purpose.
In order to communicate effectively we need to be able to form sentences which others understand.
We do this by developing an understanding of the meaning of individual words, developing our range of vocabulary and by understanding word groups, also known as parts of speech.
We use thousands of words every day and each of these can be separated and categorised into eight different groups.
Although there are eight parts of speech it's important to remember that some words can fit into different word categories depending on the sentence they are in and function as multiple parts of speech. However every word only performs one specific job in each sentence.
Before we find out more about each of the individual parts of speech it's important to think about how a sentence is constructed and to be aware of the basics that every sentence needs in order to be complete and create meaning, or to express a thought.
For example: The dog barked or I run .
Let's take a look at each one of the 8 parts of speech in more detail.
Nouns are words that we use to define, identify and name: an idea, a person, things or a place.
For example: dog, girl, book, shop, flower, sadness
The girl was walking quickly.
He had experienced great sadness .
What a pretty cardigan .
Pronouns are words which are used instead of nouns and take their place to avoid any unnecessary repetition.
For example: we, it, I, you, he, she, they, me
They ran down the road.
She is always right.
Verbs are words that are used to show or describe an action, or doing something. They tell us what is happening.
For example: talk, sing, go, do, have, be, build, cook, agree, arrive, dance, exist, make, laugh
He cared about her very much
Isabella laughed out loud.
Adverbs are words which are used to describe and modify verbs, adjectives and other adverbs. They do this by describing how something is done, or by explaining where or when something is taking place. They give definition to the verb and help to clarify the intention and often end in '-ly'.
For example: quickly, today, thoughtfully, then, therefore, loudly, carefully
She answered the questions carefully .
He ran quickly to catch the bus.
Molly broke her arm and was therefore unable to play tennis.
Adjectives are words that describe nouns and pronouns in more detail, or modify nouns and pronouns by telling us something about them. They help us to get to know more about a subject, place, idea or thing by making it more interesting and memorable.
For example: big, small, wise, beautiful, delicious, blue, jealous
A jealous man is never happy.
The cat had green eyes.
Prepositions are words that show the relationship between a pronoun and noun and also join the noun to another part of the sentence. They tell us when something is in relation to something else, or where it is in relation to it. Prepositions usually go before a noun or pronoun and help to balance the sentence.
For example: in, on, after, before, by, near, with, under, inside, at, through, for
I live in a house.
He walked under the bridge.
Conjunctions are words which connect clauses, two or more words, phrases or sentences together. Think of them as the glue which joins two ideas in a sentence together or as a bridge that connects one part of a sentence to another.
For example: because, and, for, so, but, or, if, yet
She is always late and never apologises.
Sophie went to visit her Aunt because it was her birthday.
Interjections are words or short phrases which are used to show or express surprise or emotions. They are generally followed by an exclamation mark to emphasise them and aren't grammatically linked to the rest of the sentence.
For example: Phew!, Ah!, Hurrah!, Wow!, Oops!, Ouch!, Oh!
Wow! that was amazing.
Phew! I'm so happy that's over.
Although articles and determiners are not listed in the 8 parts of speech they do play an important role in the structure of a sentence, which is why I wanted to share some information about them with you.
Articles are words that are used to determine which noun the writer or speaker is referring to.
For example: the (definite article), an, a (indefinite articles), that, these, this, those (demonstratives)
The dog is barking.
Gordon is a goldfish.
Mary is an accountant.
By gaining a greater understanding of the different parts of speech and familiarising yourself with the individual roles they play in each sentence, you will be able to develop a greater knowledge about the true meaning of every sentence you hear or read, by understanding how to decode and interpret them accurately.
Here are some final examples to test your knowledge of the 8 parts of speech and to see how they are used in context to create sentences with meaning.
Dean laughed. subject (noun) + verb
Lucy cut her finger. noun + verb + pronoun + noun
He shouted loudly. noun (because the man or boy has not been previously mentioned, if they had 'he' would be a pronoun)+ verb + adverb
Holly painted her shed pink. noun + verb + pronoun + noun + adjective
Wow! I never knew that. interjection + pronoun (because the writer/speaker is referring to himself) + adverb + verb + determiner.
Grandma diligently knitted me a woollen hat in 2 days. noun + adverb + verb + pronoun + determiner + adjective + noun + preposition + number + noun

Speech about homework [short1,2,3,5 minutes].
Homework is a part of learning and it is a significant way in which students can learn. It is important for students to understand that they should always do their homework so that they can learn and grow as individuals.
Homework helps to build skills in various areas such as reading, writing, math, science, social studies, and more. It also helps with the understanding of concepts and better learning outcomes.
“Homework before playing” is a common phrase that we hear from our parents. It is often used to prevent children from having too much fun and staying focused on their work.
However, nowadays, children are not expected to do homework before playing. Instead, they are encouraged to play and learn at the same time. This approach is more efficient because children learn better when they are having fun.
There are many pros and cons of this approach. On one hand, it prevents children from being bored or distracted while playing by taking up their time with homework. On the other hand, it can cause kids to feel like they have been left behind in schoolwork or feel like they do not need to do homework anymore because they have already learned what was taught in school before playing.
Homework is an important activity for students to do. It helps them to get a better understanding of the material they are studying and also helps them improve their skills.
Homework helps students understand the material they are studying and also improves their skills.
Homework is important for students to learn and improve their skills. It helps them get better grades, develop initiative, and build up a strong foundation of knowledge.
Homework is also important for parents because it helps them know what their children are learning in school. It also helps them monitor the progress of their children and make sure that they are on the right track.
It is important for every child to learn how to do homework before playing. This is because it helps them gain skills and knowledge that are necessary for their education.
Many parents find it hard to manage their children’s homework and other activities. With the help of AI, they can easily create a schedule with reminders. They can also set up the tasks for the day in advance so that the children don’t have to worry about anything.
Homework is an important part of the school curriculum. It helps students to practice skills that they are learning in class, and also gives them more time to do their own work.
Homework can be a challenge for students. It can be difficult to find time to complete it when there are so many other assignments and activities that need to be done as well. But it is always better for students to have completed homework ahead of time than not at all, because it allows them the opportunity to study and prepare for upcoming tests or quizzes.
In this speech, we will explore the importance of homework for students and how parents can help their children with homework if they are struggling with it at home.
If you want to enjoy your game, it is important that you give it proper preparation. If you are not prepared for the game, then it will be difficult for you to focus on what’s happening in the game.
When I was younger, I used to play games without doing any homework. However, this led to me not being able to focus on the game and I would often get frustrated. Nowadays, I make sure that I do my homework before playing.
Homework before playing is a good habit that can help improve your performance in games as well as other tasks where you need concentration.
Homework is a tool that has been used for centuries. It is designed to help students learn the material they have been taught in class.
Homework helps students learn and retain information better than if they had not done it. It also helps them develop their study skills, which are important for success later on in life.
Homework can also be used as a learning strategy for students who struggle to focus or pay attention in class. Students who struggle with homework will often find that it helps them focus on the task at hand, which can prevent them from becoming distracted by their surroundings and falling behind in class.
Homework is a very important part of a student’s life. It helps them to improve their skills and performance in school. It also helps them to learn how to manage their time better.
The importance of homework for students can be seen from the fact that it is one of the most important ways for students to get ahead in school.
The most important thing that parents should teach their children is how to manage their time. This is a skill that can be practiced in many different ways, but it is especially important for children who are going to play a lot of games and sports.
Homework before playing can help children learn how to manage their time and keep them from being overworked and burnt out. It also helps them develop better habits for when they are older and have more responsibilities at school or work.

BET is apologizing to R&B singer Usher after accidentally muting a portion of his Lifetime Achievement award acceptance speech during Sunday’s live BET Awards telecast.
Accepting this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award, Usher spoke for some 13 minutes, though about four minutes in, the audio started cutting in and out — and then dropped off entirely for about five straight minutes. (Watch the speech in question above.)
Early on in his speech, Usher dropped one unbleeped curse, saying, “I don’t know, man — is it too early for me to receive it? Because I’m still running and gunning, and I still love this s–t like I did when I was eight years old.”
When he soon after that turned to give props to Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, L.A. Reid and Babyface standing beside him on-stage, Usher got more frank with his words, though apologetically.
“This is my village, these are the men who motivated me, who speak to me, who have spoken to me, who have been solid no matter how f–ked up it may have been,” he said, quickly adding: “I’m sorry, I’m cursing to let you know how I really feel.”
Usher went on to say of those who have stood by him, “at one point it got really thick, and motherf–kers wouldn’t f–k with it. And I I get it. I understand. Sometimes you gotta go through some s–t to get to something.” Gesturing again at Jimmy Jam & Co, he said, “They solid, and it ain’t about a motherf–king hit record.”
It was then that the audio cut out for several minutes straight, returning in time for Usher speaking about his children, two of whom were seated in the front row, followed by his closing four minutes or so.

Did not save anyone from your unnecessary comment though
It was a great speech
You Americans can’t deal with nudity, swearing and irony – LOL.
That was so screwed up. I wanted to hear it during the show. I figured it was because he was cussing. I’m sure parts will still be muted when they play it tonight. But, that was totally screwed up.
Clearly you didnt read the article…
They gave him the Lifetime Achievement award only to cut his speech. BET needs to be ashamed of themselves.
I hope Usher sues them.
They should do that to Biden during the next debate. It could only help him. “Look… we finally beat Medicare.” :)
Should have muted the audio/video when paying tribute to OJ, that was utterly vile.
And not even a mention of Andre Braugher, absolutely disgusting oversight.
