Hi teachers,
I am very often confused with plural or singular forms. Please help me clear the problem.

Thanks

1.
For the past week it has been only orientation* sessions*.
Should it be plural?

2.
The camp I work for, takes very good care of its staff.
OR
The camp I work for, takes "a" very good care of its staff.



3.
They make sure that we are well-taken-care-of of both living accommodations and emotional well-being*s*.
Should it be plural?

Thanks guys!

Correcting spelling and punctuation:

1. For the past week it has been only orientation sessions. Should be plural because every day there will be one or more session.

2. The camp I work for takes very good care of its staff. No "a" needed, and no comma needed, either.

3. They make sure that we are well taken care of for both living accommodations and emotional well-being. Always singular for well-being. No need for all the hyphens. I changed the second "of" to "for" because it sounds more correct.
