enjoy it)

Singular or Plural?

• We use some nouns only in the plural:Trousers jeans shorts pyjamas tights scissors,glasses/spectacles• We can also use “a pair of” with these words

Some singular nouns are often used with a plural verb:• Government• Staff• Team• Family• Audience • CommitteeWe often think of these things as ‘a number of people’

(they) so we often use a plural verb, but a singula verb is also possible

We always use a plural verb with the police

Some and any

• In general we use some in positive sentences and any in negative sentences.

• We use any in te following sentences because the meaning is negative
