	Woodward  +  20942 Sat, 31 Jan 04 03:10 PM It should be: How are your children? (if they are referring to more than one) OR How is your child? (if there is only one) BUT if they now if the child is a boy or girl they would say: How is your son? OR How is your daughter?

But if you want to know how to say this sentence with the help of the grammar it must be used with "are", be sure, dear friend!

	xyz_girl  +  21022 Sun, 01 Feb 04 07:10 PM Yeah. I agree with you, OrijoV. Children is plural. So it must take "are" in the question or sentence. Think how to answer the question. "How is your children?" "My children is fine" Not true "How are your children?" "My children are fine" True. xyz_girl Joined on Sun, Feb 1 2004 Bremen/Deutschland Junior Member 58 Friendship is like a candle which burns itself but gives light to others... Plurals
