sarah88  +  690263 Tue, 24 Mar 09 08:17 AM Please help me to clarify the following, 1) I see people carry open umbrellas. 2) I see people carry open umbrella. If 1) is correct, then how do you express when you see people carry two unbrellas instead of one. sarah88 Joined on Sun, Nov 23 2008 Full Member 115 Plurals

	askshameer  +  690265 Tue, 24 Mar 09 08:21 AM Here people is plural, so 1) is right. If you see every people carrying two umbrellas, you can still write "umbrellas". A more corrected form of your sentence would be: I see people carrying open umbrellas. I see people carrying two open umbrellas. /Sameer askshameer Joined on Tue, Jan 27 2009 Bangalore/Tokyo/Los Angeles/Manama Full Member 189 Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
