Hello!
My gratitudes to my teachers....
I hope you answer the questions I am still struggling on.
Question 1.
In a movie, a pilot gets hit on his plane, and takes a landing in some place he doesn't know where.
At last, the pilot happens to meet two soldiers, not the rescue team but just the allied force.
So, the pilot asks them, "Why there's only two of you?"
The pilot is mistaking that the two soldiers are his rescue team.
In that situation, is the sentence, "Why there's only two of you?" correct?
How about this logic? Because the soldiers were TWO, than the pilot should have said, "Why there ARE only two of you?"
Question 2.
After the words, "the trousers, the pants, the scissors, the glasses....", the words meaning a pair, should the verb be plural or singular?
The pair of trousers that you just bought IS good. ......... or, The pair of trousers that you just bought ARE good.
Which is the correct native's sense of English?
