Is "means" plural or singular?
Which is correct?
- There is no means to listen what he is saying.
- There are no means to listen what he is saying.
According to Oxford Dictionaries it can be "treated as singular or plural".
Personally, I find the plural form more natural in your example. Also note that you need another "to": There are no means to listen to what he is saying.
Singular or plural can be used: use as a singular, e.g. "cars are a means of transportation", or as a plural when talking about wealth e.g. "His means are plenty" (that is, he has many ways of getting money).
