benefits or benefit Hi all, Can you explain the difference between "benefits" and "benefit"? I see this question in a book: Q: What is the company's policy on ----- for part-time workers? The answer is "benefit" but I don't understand why. I think it should be "benefits". I've looked it up in dictionary and it says that "on benefits (= receiving benefits)".

"On benefit" might be a UK usage to mean "receiving benefits" but we'll need verification. In the U.S., we'd say "policy on benefits" or "company's benefit policy" in the sentence.

Benefit can be used as a noun or a verb.Therefore,benefits can mean some benefits(noun) or the singular number of benefit(verb).But I can't understand the question clearly,so I regret that I can't explain it to you
