So, it takes a singular verb. For example: The news is interesting. (Correct) The news are interesting. (Wrong)

   Is News a verb or a noun?

   • The word “news” is a noun. In English, it is considered singular and uncountable. So we use the singular forms of verbs, like is and was: the news is on channel 5, the news was surprising. Don’t use are or were. We say this news (not these news) and that news (not those news). But a more common mistake is saying “a news.”

   What if the word News is singular and uncountable?

   • But a more common mistake is saying “a news.” With uncountable nouns, we never use a or an. So don’t say, “I heard a good news” – this might be possible in your native language, but in English you should say “I heard some good news.” So if the word news is singular and uncountable, how can we talk about more than one piece of news?

   Can you start anew if the word 'News' is a countable noun?

   • And of course you can begin anew, but that simply means "start again". I think the form "What are the news?" is wrong; even though the the word 'news' is plural, it is more of a mass noun (or non-countable noun) than a countable noun (like gold is a mass noun).
