Hello all, Although my English may not be correct in many ways, I want to give my opinion, based in what I have studied a long time ago. In fact, we can use the word LACE in singular or plural depending on its meaning.
If we use "lace" (in singular), we are using the word with a collective meaning, that is, lace as a group of laces, in a general sense: for example, "lace is made in my country", "I like making tape lace", "lace lessons", etc. But if we use "laces" (in plural), we are being more specific: "the laces made in our workshop.., or the ones made in England", "laces made in such technique... ". For this reason, in many cases we can use either the singular or the plural form, depending on the meaning we want or need. And often, we can even use both forms without making an important change in the meaning. Hope this helps to all those language lovers! Best wishes from Spain (where we finally have rain!)
