(1)Although some doctors are doubtful about this, most accepts the
success of new thrapies.
Which one is correct "most accepts ~" or "most accept ~"?
(2)All efforts were failed.
All attempts were failed.
Can both "effort" and "attempt" be plural forms?
I'd be appreciate your help. |

Most accept (Most doctors accept)--it's plural
All attempts failed. All efforts failed. (Sorry, you can't use "were" but t hey are plural) All attempts were failures. All efforts were failures. |
