Just an added comment:
The singular of "loaves" is "loaf"
1 loaf of bread
2 loaves of bread, etc.
As far as I know, the word "loave" doesn't exist. ;)

Hello,

SL/EFL Test #21 "Modal Verbs", question 5
Could you run out to the baker and buy me some cakes, buns and two breads, please.
(a) run out
(b) buns
(c) two breads
English Grammar Error, Intermediate level
ESL/EFL Test #21 "Modal Verbs", answer 5
Could you run out to the baker and buy me some cakes, buns and loaves of bread, please.
Correct entry: loaves of bread
The error was: (c) two breads |
According to this test sentence, the error is "two breads", so the correct entry should be "two loaves of bread". However, the correct result of this test only accepts "loaves of bread" without taking account of the essential "two". Could you please look into this matter?
Thank you.
Best wishes,
