English grammar error-spotting (uncountable nouns and subject–verb agreement): Read the sentence parts and locate the error; remember that ‘‘furniture’’ is an uncountable noun that takes singular agreement: ‘‘All the furnitures have been / sent to the new house / located in a village. / No error.’’

Given data

• A: ‘‘All the furnitures have been’’
• B: ‘‘sent to the new house’’
• C: ‘‘located in a village.’’

Common pitfalls

• Adding ‘‘-s’’ to uncountable nouns (luggage, information, furniture, stationery).
