The homework assignment was to read Chapter 2 in our history book. You could use assignments, as in homework assignments:Ī particular job or responsibility given to you: However, that doesn't seem particularly idiomatic to me. In your example, you could use pieces, as in I have thirty pieces of homework to grade every week.Ī piece of china (= an object made of china)

But I'm still interested in knowing the difference. Is this true? I'm on the west coast of the US so the way in which people there answer this question is what I care about the most.


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? Consider the case when a teacher has thirty students in the class.
