Hello, teachers!!

I cut physics class yesterday, so I borrowed a friend's notes to copy them.

(1) I have to give them back today.
(2) I have to give it back today.

Which is better, (1) or (2)?

Thanks in advance.

I suppose you just need to take a glance at the sentence.

I cut physics class yesterday, so I borrowed a friend's notes to copy them.

note - a short piece of writing

He left a note to say he would be home late.

notes - information written on paper

The journalist took notes throughout the interview.

Dear +Immune+ :

Thank you for your quick replies.

I took out the sentence from an exercise book, and I thought that it had some mistakes in it. So I asked about it.

Thanks to you, I understood the meaning of "note" and "notes." I didn't know those differences. Thank you again.

Have a nice day!!
