C++ showing a string

Actually am kind of new to c++. i want to display "Questions" if answers is more than one and "Question" if answers in below one these are they errors i get

    5   IntelliSense: no operator "<<" matches these operands
        operand types are: std::basic_ostream<char, std::char_traits<char>> << std::string  c:\Users\Ugwu\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\Chrysohgomus_Ugwu_A4\Chrysohgomus_Ugwu_A4\mathTutor.cpp 46  39  Chrysohgomus_Ugwu_A4

Or Image Link

This is my code

string Question;

void grade() {
    question = correct + incorrect;
    if (question > 1){ 
        Question = "Questions";
    }
    else{
        Question = "Question"; 
    }
    cout << "Out Of " << question << " " << Question << " You Got " << correct << " Correct " << "And " << incorrect << " Incorrect " << endl;
}

can someone show me the right way?

One possible problem is that either correct or incorrect are not objects that are printable by cout.

It's also possible that you haven't included <string> correctly in your program. Did you add #include <string> and using std in your code?

(Granted, I don't really support the idea of using std, but if you're going to use string without the std:: prefix, you have to add using std. Personally, I think you'd be better off sticking to std::string.)
