In Speak english^x, Plurals^x

I quite agree with Curricula Vitae (being plural) as it is based on the use of a Latin phrase. A possible alternative is "Work History" as we speak English (not Latin) or resume (as point out by another poster).Also, if you see CV's this is wrong according to contemporary...

Orpheus wrote:Do you think that the complexity of grammar of a language reflects the elaborate thinking of its speakers?No, not in the least. If that were true, present-day Anglo-Saxons' thinking would be greatly inferior to that of their forebears 1200 years ago. While Old English wasn't...

Hi, Which is correct ? Do any of your students speak English? or Does any of your students speak English? What are the rules of verb-noun agreement, especially with none, any, etc.? In this context, 'any of' can be followed by either form of the verb. Singular is considered more formal than...

Dear Beverly, I am not an English expert, (far from it, I too suck at writing and am a terrible speller and it is my first and only language!) but if I were to judge you by your letter and the writing skills demonstrated there....Well I'm sorry to say but you are not writing at a level that...

There are several mistakes in your sentences which I will not examine, but a summary response to your question is: When used with countable nouns, each and every are singular, while all is plural. Each tends to reflect the speakers preoccupation with the individual cases making up the...

Hi Rotter, 1) 'We speak English here' is fine but you usually see it as 'English spoken here', which is also fine. You could also say 'English is spoken here'. Your 'English are spoken here' is incorrect as 'are' only applies to plurals but English is only one language. It would be right if...

Of course I don't mind your asking I don't know what your first language is, but in my country, Spanish speakers find it difficult too to understand that the "s" is necessary to form the simple present of a verb for the 3rd. person singular. The reason is that we associate the addition of an "s"...

And who says all British magazines speak English correctly? My way of thinking about this one would be that we use the nominative case ('I', 'he', etc.) when the subordinate clause refers to its subject (sorry, I don't know how to say this in grammatically correct terms), as in 'It is I who...
