A student asked me when we use the word feeling (singular) vs.
feelings (plural), like in the sentence “I can certainly understand
your feeling / feelings.”
The most natural choice here is feelings, because we use
the plural form when it’s a substitute for the word "emotions" in
general.
We use the word feeling, singular, when we’re talking about one
specific feeling. It’s usually modified with an adjective - an
amazing feeling, a terrible feeling, etc.
In today's lesson you'll expand your vocabulary by
learning collocations
with the words feeling and feelings. These are
combinations of words that are often used together - and learning
them will help you speak English more easily and naturally.
