I really feel surprised sometimes thinking that how I can assert the wrong thing. Hmm, that means I confuse all, the all, the.. structures. I will revise them! I am so sorry for the wrong answer! ( But I still feel happy. I learn best from my mistakes. )http://www.englishforums.com/English/Plural/zxdvr/post.htm#487362Wed, 25 Mar 2009 09:38:02 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:487362Yankee1http://www.englishforums.com/English/Plural/zxdvr/post.htm#487362http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-487362.xmlI don&#39;t quite agree with that, Doll. &quot;Postmen wear caps&quot; suggests that you mean &#39;all postmen&#39; -- i.e. no postmen are omitted. If you say &#39;the postmen&#39; instead, that is not necessarily a reference to &#39;all postmen everywhere&#39;, but rather it is a reference to a specific group and in that limited group, all of the postmen wear caps. In other words, there could be postmen who do not wear caps who are not part of the group referred to.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Plural/zxdvr/post.htm#487346Sun, 25 Jan 2009 09:38:02 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:487346Doll2http://www.englishforums.com/English/Plural/zxdvr/post.htm#487346http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-487346.xmlMy try: A postman wears a cap. You change this into: Postmen wear caps. With this modification, all the nouns are turned into plural forms. But, if you say: The postmen wear caps. With this sentence, you include all the postmen, without omitting anyone.http://www.englishforums.com/English/Plural/zxdvr/post.htmWed, 25 Mar 2009 09:38:02 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:487322hanuman_20003http://www.englishforums.com/English/Plural/zxdvr/post.htmhttp://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-487322.xmlHello, 1.
