English Language Learners Asked on February 10, 2021
Can both scaffold and scaffolding be used about the scaffold/scaffolding as a whole an not just the platforms? And the same with the platforms? I’m only interested in the American definition of it.
He climbed up the scaffold/scaffolding.
Afraid to fall down, the man lay flat on the scaffold/scaffolding, holding onto it with everything he’d got.
"Scaffold" seems like a single discrete structure, a thing. "Scaffolding" is more like a mass noun, so it brings to mind stuff.
I might rent a scaffold to paint my house, but Notre Dame is currently covered in scaffolding.
