For example: Furniture X - I have furnitures at home. ✓- I have pieces of furniture. Sugar X- I have sugars at home. ✓- I have cubes of sugar. Work X - I have works for you to do. ✓- I have some work for you. 1.Knowledge 2.Jewelry 3.Homework 4.Courage 5.Education OXYMORON An interesting word Oxymoron is a phrase that has two words with opposite meanings and its use make speaking very interesting.
