Need help with grammar corrections…?
Am i right –
1] anybody is
2] everybody are
3] anyone is
4] everyone is
When to use ‘ought’? — my understanding is ought = should.
John is the (taller) of the twins. – Since this is a comparision between 2 people it should be (taller) and not (tallest)… right?
All, except Muthu, is/are going to the Christmas party next month. (my answer is ‘are’ since ‘all’ = many people)
Jasmine, except her sisters, is/are going to the party. (my answer ‘is’ as the sentence mainly talks about Jasmine = one person)
Favorite Answer
1. Anybody is
2. Everybody IS
3. Anyone is
4. Everyone is
John is the taller of the twins.
All, except Muthu, ARE going to the Christmas party next month.
Jasmine, except her sisters, is going to the party.
And you were correct, “ought” does mean the same as “should.”
ought has a sense of obligation to it… should seems to be more a moral choice
taller
all are (but that seems to contradict my first response regarding everybody is)
jasmine is – singular
I checked and it is taller.
2) Plural pronoun
3) Pronoun-antecedent agreement
