Learn English – Can we call a divorced woman single

They have to be 2 persons (a husband and his wife) to be divorced, so the plural

• they divorced, John and Mary divorced, etc.

is fine, but

• he / she divorced, John divorced

without mentioning the other person (the spouse) in incorrect. So use

• he divorced her, John divorced Mary, etc.

instead.

A general term for a worker to describe both of these would be a handyman. Any construction worker would be happy and likely able to take on a small task of a carpenter. But a finish carpenter's job is to make the woodwork of the home look spectacular, no mistakes or bruises, a very specialized skill. A carpenter would generally only work with wood but either of these profession would be happy to take on any task given them, within the restrictions of Union Laws. There a carpenter may not be able to nail down a shingle if it is not made of wood.

The head construction worker would make the plan but everyone down to the man who fetches the nails could certainly be given the title of a construction worker. Which one is used more often depends on who is filling up your house. I would say most are construction workers up until the end when the wood needs to look its best.
