&lt;P&gt;1. Kindly tell if any grammar errors in the following:&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Oritel East &amp;amp; Oritel West are one of the finest hotels &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;in&lt;/FONT&gt; Mumbai. (or at Mumbai)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;Oritel East and Oritel West are two of the finest hotels in Mumbai.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Oritel East &amp;amp; Oritel West are the finest hotels in Mumbai.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Oritel East and Oritel West are the finest hotels in Mumbai.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;The Taj is the finest hotel in Mumbai&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;The Taj is the finest hotel in Mumbai.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;2. Oritel East &amp;amp; Oritel West have the most scenic locale &amp;amp; pricturesque &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;surrounding (or surroundings).&lt;/FONT&gt; Please explain why&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;'Surroundings'. Because the plural form is more idiomatic, and also because each hotel is presumably in a different place.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;3. Its five star ambience &amp;amp; economic pricing &lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;offers&lt;/FONT&gt; you all that you desire (according to me it sould be offer you&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt; Yes&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;)&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;4. Banquet rooms perfect for business meetings,&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt; training&lt;/FONT&gt;, weddings, workshops or gatherings&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Say 'training' or preferably, with these other plurals, say 'training sessions'.&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;should it be training or trainings i took it from an article and according to me its grammartical error correct me if i m wrong.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Secondly is it ok if i wrte without 's', Banquet rooms perfect for business meeting,&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT color=#000000&gt;training&lt;/FONT&gt;, wedding, workshop or gathering&amp;nbsp;&lt;STRONG&gt;Plural sounds better. If you want to use singular, you need to use indefinite articles (eg &lt;U&gt;a &lt;/U&gt;business meeting,&lt;U&gt; a&lt;/U&gt; wedding, etc.)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;In good writing, avoid using ampersands (ie no&lt;FONT color=#ff1493&gt; &amp;amp;&lt;/FONT&gt; signs).&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Best wishes, Clive&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Kindly explain!!!</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/KindlyExplain/zlkgm/post.htm</link><pubDate>Sat, 09 Feb 2008 04:20:10 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="true">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:474652</guid><dc:creator>Anonymous</dc:creator><slash:comments>1</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/KindlyExplain/zlkgm/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-474652.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;P&gt;1.
