I have confusion on the following:
They have done their lesson/lessons?:
In the dictionary(cambridge) lesson is a countable noun. So it seems that lessons would be right.

But, the following correct sentence is taken from a dictionary(cambridge):
They refuse to work for their living
--- where living is also countable but it means a period of time in which a person is taught about a subject.

thanks for any clarification !

A friend of mine corrected me to use the word 'are'. I assumed when you reference a band you reference the band as a whole, not its individual members, am I wrong?

I'm working on a description of my work experience for an application to continue my position (which renews every year). I want to briefly describe the work that I am currently doing. I work at this place only a few hours a week, but continue in their employ. I want to show that my work for the company I'm mentioning in this sentence will not interfere with the job I'm applying for.

So, how can I express the idea of working regularly, but not very much, for this company?

"I also continue to work _____ for ."

Please help if you can think of any words that would fit.

he had apparently been hit so hard that the baseball had embedded itself in his head. he pulled and pulled, but the baseball would not come off.
so the next day he ___________________________________.
