May you respond to this question?
*I have seen the following sentence somewhere and I have two questions about it?
1- can I use the word in the parenthesis instead of each other?
2- why "belongs" has "s" at the end of itself?isn't "the whole land" a plural noun?
the (whole/entire/complete/total) land belongs to me.
I'm also so grateful if tell me if I can use these words interchangeably or not?
* (well down/bravo)! your performance during last semester has has been (great/notable/perfect)
Thank you so much for your attention

The (whole/entire) land belongs to me. The whole land is a singular noun because it is ONE big piece of land .
All these lands belong to me ( plural > many pieces of them)
(Well down/bravo)! Your performance during last semester has been (great/notable/perfect)
>All ok , The adjectives that can be used for the above are many > excellent , commendable ,impressive , very good ,praiseworthy etc > All applicable but different in meanings

Hi! I will give you my personal opinion." The land " is third person singular. So, its the land belongS. If you were talking about many lands , then you would say "the lands belong to me", because it is third person plural. I think well DONE and bravo, have exactly the same meaning.
Notable is like outstanding, so I think it is more emphatic than great. Perfect and great is similar, but perfect would mean that there has been no mistakes. Hope it helps. Bye!
