Difference between HOMEWORK and HOUSEWORK

Learn more about our courses

What’s the difference between homework and housework ?

These two words seem practically identical, but they actually have separate meanings and uses. I’ll clarify that in today’s lesson, so that you can be sure to use the right word.

And at the end I’ll also tell you about a common mistake that English learners often make with homework and housework.

How to use HOMEWORK in English

Homework refers to schoolwork that you do at home.

So if you’re in class, your teacher might give you homework – maybe a worksheet, maybe a book/article to read, maybe an exercise to do or something to research – and then you do that homework outside of class, at home.

Homework is usually extra practice or an additional assignment to help you practice what you learned inside class, or take your learning further.

How to use HOUSEWORK in English

Housework refers to the physical tasks that are necessary to take care of your house or apartment , the place where you live. We usually use housework to refer to cooking, cleaning, and laundry (washing your clothes).

So homework is schoolwork you do at home, and housework involves maintaining your living space.

What about “chores”?

One of my students asked if the word chores means the same thing as housework.

Yes – chores is another word we can use for those things that you have to do around the house. Washing dishes, sweeping the floor, cleaning the toilet, and so on. You probably don’t really enjoy them, but they need to get done.

And it’s also common to use this word chores you have a parent who makes their children help with these tasks. So the parent would say, “you have to do your chores.” You need to do those things around the house that you’re responsible for, like cleaning up your room or maybe helping with the laundry.

HOMEWORK and HOUSEWORK are always singular!

Now here’s an important detail – the word chore is countable, so you can have one chore, two chores, three chores, or a lot of chores to do.

But homework and housework are BOTH considered uncountable . So we always use them in the singular, always homework and housework, never homeworks or houseworks.

They are singular even when they refer to multiple tasks. So even if you have multiple assignments to do and multiple things to do in your house, it’s still only homework and housework.

You can talk about general quantity by saying a little homework/housework or a lot of homework/housework – but don’t use numbers, like “three homeworks,” and don’t add an S, “a lot of houseworks” – it’s not correct.

WORK / WORKS

This rule also applies to the word “work” – most of the time it’s singular.

Don’t say “I have a lot of works to do.” – the correct way would be “I have a lot of work to do.” You can say tasks, you can say projects, you can say assignments, you can say things – those can all be plural, but work is typically singular.

There’s one situation where we can say “works” and that’s specifically when we’re talking about works of art, works of music, or works of literature. So when we’re talking about productions in the artistic world, then sometimes we use works in the plural. For example, this is one of Picasso’s greatest works of art.

But in everyday life, when talking about the work you have to do, it’s always work, singular and same with homework and housework, singular.

Now you know the difference between homework and housework – and remember, doing homework is really important for reviewing and practicing what you learn!

A lot of our courses at Espresso English include homework. Sometimes that’s a quiz so you can test yourself on the lesson, and sometimes the homework is a writing task or speaking task where you can send your answers to our teaching team and get correction and feedback.

Our students often find this the most valuable part of our courses, because then you’re not just watching or reading or listening to me in English, but you’re also using English yourself. It really makes a difference in helping you learn and remember better.

Plural or singular homework help!

How do you know if a verb in singular or plural? For example i had a fill-in-a-blank question like this: ___________(ser) las diez de la noche cuando mi amigo____________(venir) a visitarme. In the beginning I put era but it turned out the answer was eran...WHY?

First of all, it should be written: las diez de la noche

The article "las" is in the plural, that should give you a hint as to whether you have you use era or eran.

For the second verb, if we replace mi amigo with a pronoun we would use el which is a singular pronoun, the verb will have to match that therefore it will be in the singular form.

Because diez is plural, it is more than one. It would only be era if it were one o´ clock.

Welcome to the forum. I see you have added your level of Spanish, Can you also add your level of English? Some people are learning English and Spanish.

If you look at the profile of the person who has already answered you will see you have a reliable answer from a fluent Spanish speaker.

Do you know what your Spanish sentence means? There is a translator on site which is great for basic phrases.

In this case we are told the time the person comes to meet you. In Spanish to say 1 o'clock you talk about 'it is one hour' hour is a singular feminine word in Spanish so you use 'es la una' However, all the other times are plural as there are a number of hours. In your sentence you have ten hours - las diez [in some parts of the world the c and z sound like an s] Therefore you need a plural verb.

As aileribel says in the second part of the sentence you are talking about a male friend [amigo] which in English can be rewritten as he which is singular.

Why not revise how to tell the time. There are lots of lessons on the site.

Plural Nouns in English – Regular and Irregular

Plural Nouns in English

Singular = 1 Plural = 2, 3, 4… or more (plural = more than one)

In English we normally add S to a noun when it is plural.

• 1 car (car – singular)
• 2 car s  (cars – plural)
• 1 book (book – singular)
• 2 book s  (books – plural)

More examples of regular plural nouns:

• I have a pen . She has three pens .
• I need a plate . We need two plates .
• He has a dog . I have two dogs .
• We need three apples , a  banana and two oranges for the fruit salad.

Plural Nouns – Spelling exceptions

When the noun ends in S, SH, CH, X or Z , we add -ES to the noun.

• 1 bus – 2 bus es
• 1 kiss – 2 kiss es
• 1 dish – 2 dish es
• 1 match – 2 match es
• 1 box – 2 box es
• 1 prize – 2 priz es

With the word Quiz, we double the final Z in plural form before adding the -ES.

• 1 quiz – 2 quiz zes

When the noun ends in CONSONANT + Y , we remove the Y and add -IES to the noun.

• 1 city – 2 cit ies
• 1 baby – 2 bab ies
• 1 story – 2 stor ies
• 1 country – 2 countr ies

Note when a noun ends in a VOWEL + Y , we just add -S

• 1 boy – 2 boy s
• 1 day – 2 day s
• 1 key – 2 key s
• 1 guy – 2 guy s

When the noun ends in F or FE , we remove the F/FE and add -VES to the noun.

• 1 life – 2 li ves
• 1 knife – 2 kni ves
• 1 leaf – 2 lea ves
• 1 scarf – 2 scar ves

Note, there are some exceptions to this rule:

• roof – roofs

If the noun ends in a CONSONANT + O , we normally add -ES to the noun.

• 1 tomato – 2 tomato es
• 1 volcano – 2 volcano es
• 1 hero – 2 hero es
• 1 potato – 2 potato es

There are some exceptions to this rule:

• photo – photo s

Notice how nouns that end in a VOWEL + O , we just add an -S:

Irregular Plural Nouns in English

There are some nouns that have very irregular plural nouns and that don’t have an S at the end. Some common irregular plural nouns in English are:

• 1 man – 2 men
• 1 child – 2 children (See this lesson: Child vs. Children )
• 1 foot – 2 feet
• 1 tooth – 2 teeth
• 1 mouse – 2 mice
• 1 person – 2 people

Irregular Plural Nouns that don’t change in English

Some other irregular plural nouns are the words that do NOT change in plural form.

For example with the word sheep .

We say 1 sheep and 2 sheep …there is no change between the singular and plural form.

We do not say sheeps … no, there is no S at the end.

• 1 sheep – 2 sheep
• 1 deer – 2 deer
• 1 fish – 2 fish … yes, this is correct. (See this lesson: The plural of FISH – Fish or Fishes? )
• 1 series – 2 series
• 1 species – 2 species

You can see there is no change.

There are many more irregular plural nouns and you can see more examples on our grammar website .

homework", singular or plural?

Hi everyone, got a little problem: I know the word "homework" is uncountable, but in a passive sentence like "Homework have been made?", would it be "have" or "has"? I think it would be "have", but that would mean it's countable. Or, though uncountable, "homework" is plural??? Thanks a lot  

Senior Member

In most cases that I can think of homework(s) with an 's' would sound wierd. It I am sure is used once in a while but I believe in most if not all cases it would be without 's'.  

Wynn Mathieson

It would be "Homework has been DONE" (<-- N.B. not "made"). Use of the passive voice does not alter the singularity of the mass-noun "(home)work".  

Basil Ganglia

As I learned English growing up ''Homework'' was always singular. I have heard my children and some of their friends use ''homeworks'', however. In this usage, each homework assignment from a different class or teacher was a separate "homework''. I consider ''homeworks'' to be substandard English, but it's certainly not unknown.
