news or a news

“News” is uncountable noun, so it requires singular forms of verbs. For example, it is correct to say “the news is on TV now” and “the news was surprising.” “Are” or “were” can’t be used with “news.”

Using the article “a” before “news.” is one of the common mistakes English learners make. With uncountable nouns, we never use “a” or “an.” For example,

  • Correct: “I have bad news and good news”
  • Incorrect: “I have a bad news and a good news”

In fact, “I have a bad news and a good news” is used frequently on the web.

  • Correct: “I have a piece of good news”
  • Correct: “I have some good news”
  • Correct: “I have a good news story”
