Typical German speaker mistakes in English (21)

I often hear these mistakes made by German speakers who are learning English.

They say:  That are good news.

Remember in English the word news is an uncountable noun.  That means it is singular and not plural.  It cannot be used with a / an.

Correction:  That is good news.

 

Have fun learning English!
