Definition: ”non-renewable resource (also called a finite resource)“ is a natural resource that cannot be readily replaced by natural means at a pace quick enough to keep up with consumption.

generalizing
When generalizing countable nouns, you can either:
- make the noun plural:
Cats are gentle pets.
People like to interact with others. OR -
make it singular but add an article: The cat is a gentle pet.
A person likes to interact with another person. - Which - When the clause contains unimportant or additional information, it can be set off with commas. If you remove a clause with which from a sentence, the meaning does not change significantly.
(CORRECT) There was an earthquake in Japan, which is bad news.
Let us try removing the “which” clause:
(STILL CORRECT) There was an earthquake in Japan.
(CORRECT) Our office, which has two conference rooms, is located in Toronto.
Let us try removing the “which” clause:
(STILL CORRECT) Our office is located in Toronto.
- Compound Subjects
If two or more singular or plural subjects are joined by AND, it will act as a plural compound subject and will need a plural verb.
Example: My brother and I are hungry.
- To vs For
Use ”to“ in these cases: - Destination - We’re going to Paris.
- Time - It‘s quarter to 2.
- Distance - It’s about 10 miles from my house to university.
- Comparing - I prefer sleeping to working.
- Giving - I gave the book to my sister.
- Motive/Reason (with verb) - I came here to see you.
Use ”for“ in these cases:
- Benefits - Yogurt is good for your digestion.
- Period of time - We have lived here for two years.
- Schedule - I made an appointment for May 3.
- Agree with - Are you for or against the development of nuclear weapons?
- Doing something to help someone - Could you carry these books for me?
- Motive/Reason (with noun) - Let‘s go out for a drink.
-
Function (with a verb-ing form) - A ladle is a big spoon used for serving soup.
- Uncountable nouns
Do not use articles when generalizing uncountable nouns and plural countable nouns.
Examples:
Honesty is a great trait. (Uncountable)
Water is an important resource. (Uncountable)
Fruits are good for you. (Plural countable)
Noncount Nouns (Uncountable Nouns)
Some nouns have only a singular form; you cannot add a number before or an “s” to the end of these words. This group of nouns is called noncount.
Examples of nouncount words: information, content, knowledge, technology, society, equipment, news, fish, public transportation, medicine, work, architecture, pollution
