No. Singular would be "a soldier of England" or "an English soldier."

Judging by your competence at written English (as demonstrated in this thread), I don't think you have anything to worry about. I fear the battle is already lost, so plural or singular, the Soldiers of England are unlikely to help you at all.

Some other respondents are not much better. I suspect they live in glasshouses and therefore should know better.

620136 2007-12-11 04:29:00 ^ Yes, but technically "Individual(s)" is not necessarily a singular, is it? Soldiers of England can't be "individual", but I'm pretty sure it can be "individuals"

Right?

620137 2007-12-11 04:36:00 That reminds me of the confusion between "persons" and "people".

The poster is requiring help for an external exam, which mean to say he was not sitting for an exam when he started this thread.

Cheers :)

Wrong

620139 2007-12-11 05:01:00 'Individual' is singular. You can have a collection of individuals, the same as you can collate any other singular noun, but the word is inherently singular.

'Soldiers of England' is just a collation - it's a group containing multiple instances of the singular item 'Soldier of England'.

620140 2007-12-11 05:16:00 I don't think grahic has the english literacy to understand what you are saying Bletch, which was why I didn't attempt to delve any deeper than his basic singular/plural question in the context it was presented.

620142 2007-12-11 06:13:00 :lol: Hey people, I was wondering if "Soldiers of England" can represent an individual.

Now, I know that 'individual' means one person, but as you can see it has an 's', which means it's plural.

So will say it again, can "Soldiers of England" be an individual?

This was in my Year 12 English external exam...

Please help me..

Proofread. Maybe comparing this to your post will help you out a little. The answer to your question is 'no', An individual soldier is a "soldier of England".

:thumbs::lol:

A song, "Soldiers of England" would be singular.
On pay night, soldiers of England are a rabble.

And according to the rules, the soldiers of England act for the sovereign in a unified manner.

And it's 27 angels on the head of a pin.

620144 2007-12-11 06:41:00 look the guyz the exams are over, i had 3 papers for english exam. Order to pass lvl2 english i will need to get at least 8 credits to pass. It must be 4 from reading and 4 from writing. Right now i have 4 reading credits and 3 writing credits. Which means i need at least 1 credits to pass lvl2 english. those 3 papers with 3 wirting credits which means i need to pass at least one of them order to pass. Essay was about a World War 1 poets, i can't remember the question but it asked me to anyalse how a Main Character(S) OR individual(S) help me to understand the important moment. Therefore i Choose individual(S) as The Soldiers Of England....

I just want to have an answer. Yes OR NO? Remember: individual(s) at the end which means it is more than one....

Peace
