No student/students knew the answer.
Which noun should I use?
Thanks.
Yup. "No student" or "None of the students."
You could use either student or students--but as others have pointed out, native-speakers would like use student.
Come to think of it, it would be natural for me to use the plural form if the students were working in groups to try to find an answer.
I meant to write: ". . . likely use . . ." Damned old age . . . i'm going to blame FBM, because he's thousands of miles away, and doesn't know where i live.
@Setanta,
I guess I'll have to send a couple of agents to find out...
@FBM,
just follow the bacon smell.
