Homework is work teachers assign students to do at home.
The idea
Use some homework, much homework or do homework. To count separate tasks, say two homework assignments, not ordinarily two homeworks.
Examples
- I have some homework tonight.
- She finished her homework after dinner.
- The teacher gave us homework yesterday.
- Do you have much homework?
- He is doing his English homework.
- We have two homework assignments this week.
