Jenthecute  +  204340 Wed, 08 Mar 06 01:34 PM ex) I have more than one phone number/numbers. Is it just 'number' or 'numbers'? Since the phrase, 'more than' already has the meaning of plural, it's confusing. I'm almost sure it's just 'number', but... I still need some answers! Thanks in advance!

	paco2004  +  204416 Wed, 08 Mar 06 08:55 PM Hello　JC "I have more than one X" Suppose you take "more than one" as a numeral to modify X. Then X should be inevitably plural and you will make a sentence like :      I have (more than one) apples. But it is wrong. Rather you have to take "than one X" as a phrase to modify "more" from back. Then you can make a correct sentence like :      I have more (than one apple). paco paco2004 Joined on Wed, Nov 17 2004 Senior Member 4,095 In Japan today even dogs are learning how to bow-wow in English.
