	Riglos  +  152310 Fri, 28 Oct 05 02:57 AM Hi Maverick! I think the correct option is 1) he has sold till now over 2 million CD's. I'm not sure whether we can say the other two in these cases. I'd use the plural form (millions) in a context such as  this: He got (eight) millions for that movie, where millions is nominalized and stands as well for >"dollars, pounds, etc." Another example of this one: Millions were killed in the battle > Again, millions is nominalized and any of the words  "people, soldiers, men", ellided. Then, the last option, I'd use it in this kind of context: Millions of people were at the party (rather exaggerated, uh?). So, in this case, it is the subject of the sentence and not premodified by any elements. Regards, Mara. Riglos Joined on Thu, Sep 15 2005 Full Member 169 Regards, Plurals
