Sightseeing vs sightseeings. #1 (permalink) Sat Nov 29, 2008 16:13 pm   Sightseeing vs sightseeings.
 

Hello everyone,

Sometimes I see the phrases of "a lot of sightseeing" and "a lot of sightseeings". Could you please tell me which one is correct, or both?

I also confusing between "fee" and "fees" in these sentences:

Fee increased by 5% at state university this year.
Fees increased by 5% at state uiniversity this year.

Could you please show me which one is correct?

Many thanks,
Ann Nguyen

"Sightseeing" is not countable. Just say "a lot of sightseeing."

The fee (one fee) increased by 5%.
Fees (many fees, in total) increased by 5%.
