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.

Sep 13, 2023•7 min•Transcript available on Metacast Do you have difficulty speaking English? Sometimes the hardest part is simply starting a conversation . Today you'll learn 40 conversation starters that native English speakers use in various real life situations – formal or informal, at work, school, or other contexts!
