As a graduate, if you do not know that 'staff' is a collective noun and can be used to describe a single person or group of people, then your education was a failure.

I just saw an sms I have passed stage 1 but I stay in benin and i am 27 years. Please do u think its still advisable to attend the stage 2 aptitude test?

Yes. What do you have to lose?

sirnaked:


Thank you for your response but though that was not my question.

I really wanted to know if somebody has been scheduled to write in Lagos for stage 2 assessment next week yet?

Sorry, I quoted the wrong person. To answer your question, no I don't have an idea

In general, test was ok. Not hard. Glory to God. Had more of meaning of words for mine than numericals. The numericals were not numericals just normal x+y stuff though could be tricky. No SJT. Trusting God to perfect the rest

luchee:
Hi! Hope you weren't disqualified in the first test. I had the same excess time issue in the second test. I was expecting the test to submit automatically at the end of 20mins. But I finished, crosschecked twice and when I checked I had 44mins left. I hope this doesn't pose a problem as it wasn't my fault.

Awww. That's favor no I wasn't disqualified for my excess time in the first round. Wrote my test today. You can't be disqualified

With respect to the person that had excess time, a guy had same issue with his. They just told him to submit. I guess it might just be a glitch.

Test competed. Praying for the best

cameeeeel:
No cause for alarm at all... samethin happened to me... I clicked on refresh after submitting the test... i was like did i just click on to start the test all over.... but not like dat....to be sure of dat..i click on refresh again, it displayed d email verification form, I filled it... it displayed access code entry... i filled it... the next thing dat came up again was "Congratulations, you have completed the exams... it relieves my mind of any worries... so, no problem, u can only write the exams once.

I'm not supporting Deuces22 for making it a duty to dig out grammatical blunders from the said video. It was unnecessary.

But no, the word staff does not refer to a single person.

Saying his education was a failure was rather petty.

God blessing n favour upon u. Pls will like to chat with u privately if u don't mind

U can watsap me on 08036389911. Tnx

Now let me school you clown. The word 'Staff' is a collective noun that can be used as a single unit. When using the word staff to describe a single person, you should use a singular verb. For example 'The staff is very dedicated'

If I want to kill myself, I'll jump from your level of intelligence to the level of ur ignorance. Now, let me school u.

u can use the collective noun 'staff' with a singular verb wen action is not implied or u simply intend to state a fact abt d group. Here, u see the workers as a single unit (not as a single person). That is why u can av 'The staff is very dedicated' (staff here is referring to d group of workers and not a single worker). However, wen action is implied, u must use a plural verb. u say, 'the staff are working' because 'working' there implies an action.

Many peeps don't know dat one ought to say 'Chelsea are playing tomorrow' and 'The police are working' and not '*Chelsea is playing tomorrow' or '*the police is working'. U can however av 'Chelsea is 50 today' because no action was implied.

All of you arguing on "staff",I think you people didn't understand urselves, nor your contexts from the beginning,especially Deuces22.

Please you guys should stop!

Entertaining! I didn't do English in school, so I will just watch and learn .

These my people that are abusing themselves because of "staff" two of una sef which school una go The correct word is "Staffses" or "Staffs". Make una calm down oo.

You just made me remember this book by Dele Ashade, I think A-Z Jamb's use of English.
Oya, make una continue the English class!

You are correct brother. A single person cannot be referred to as staff.

Thanks for clearing the air

Please lets talk about the test. How many numerical questions were asked. Can one survive without calculator?

Seriously dude! Don't confuse urself. U use 'members of staff' and not just staff for single units. Staff as a whole is a noun for plural.

Interesting
