DEAR TEACHERS,

CAN EVIDENCE BE PLURAL?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

It’s an uncountable noun , Remula. Singular form is the same as that of plural. You can say pieces of evidence, items of evidence, a lot of evidence etc.
However, Google search provides examples with ‘evidences’, one of which is listed below. Follow the link:

Pamela,

I came to the strange conclusion - though some native writers and scientis use evidences, it’s not common for English, and we should not do it. The same with research and behavior …Am I right?

By the way when we should write are and when am before I in interrogative sentences?

Best regards

A plural form of ‘evidence’, ‘behaviour’ and ‘research’ should only be used as part of specialist terminology and should not be used in everyday language.

You should never use ‘are’ with ‘I’ in interrogative (or non-interrogative) sentences.
