Key Points

  • "Clothes" is the grammatically incorrect form of the noun in this context.
  • Clothes" is the noun form, but it is the plural form and it should be in its singular form "clothing" or "cloth" to match with the nouns "food" and "shelter" in the given sentence.
  • So, in the sentence "Man has been dependent on plants basically for food, clothes and shelter.
  • "The word "clothes" is incorrect because it doesn't match grammatically with the other nouns "food" and "shelter" which are in singular form.
  • It should be "Man has been dependent on plants basically for food, clothing and shelter."


Correct sentence: Man has been dependent on plants basically for food, clothing/cloth and shelter."
