![]() ![]() ![]() But this sentence shows a poor writing practice: one subject composed of a singular noun and a plural noun.ģ) The ambiguity can be seen by trying to rewrite the sentence: “Group one will go”, “You guys will go” and “Group one, you guys, will go” are all OK (besides the original “Group one, you guys will go”).Ĥ) When we modify “will go” with “is/are to go” we can see that we have to choose “is” or “are” according to the subject of the sentence.ĥ) So, what is the subject of “_ will go in the next round”? “The other is to go” referring to ‘group two’ or “The others are to go” referring to ‘you guys’?Ħ) Finally, we don’t know anything about the context: the speaker could be handing out different cards for group one and group two, or maybe ‘you guys’ could be accompanied with gestures of hands, or ‘someone’ forgot the comma after ‘you guys’ (^_^), and the choice between ‘the other’ or ‘the others’ could be just a matter of taste. ![]() ![]() The following nicknames can be used as is, mixed together or modified for a more unique nickname for your tall fella. Luckily, there are a number of different nicknames for tall guys that you can use. Yes, but group of what?Ģ) “… Group one, you guys … ” OK, a group of people. When you are friends with or dating a tall guy, you want to find a nickname that suits him perfectly. _ will go in the next round.”ġ) “… split the group in two …” Here, clearly, there’s only a reference to ‘something’ (the group) to be divided in two parts. Given that I’d prefer someone from EngVid to reply to comments, it’s still dubious. ![]()
