pls
Do we say
every thgs is right
or we should say
every thgs are right
pls provide me the rule cuse I am so confused
thks alot
hey dear
look
neither of the ways you mentioned is the right answer
you say everything IS right... the 'S' you wrote at the end of the word is a verb my sister, it's not part of the word
and in informal speech we say everything's right... I think that's why you're confused.. and I believe that's because you've only heard the word being spoken, not read it
you see the word 'everything' is not plural.. you're talking about every SINGLE thing... not about all the things together
so you use IS not ARE
I'm not so good at teaching I know... but I hope you understood what I wanted you to know
take care
peace
hi sis

hi sis

thank you sister
that is so helpful
I'd like just you to confirm me that
plural after the word "every" does not exist
?isn't so
peace be upon you all
I 've read all the replies and I agreed with kiki
yeah brother you're right
No 's' of plural after "every""
We say for
ex:
every man
every day
every thing
every worker
and so on
hope that you get the point now
best of luck
I guess Hillin has answered yoour question sister

thank you Hillin
"is it the same for the word "all
?
And
what is the rule for the similar
words
you see now.. 'all' is a different thing
because 'all' expresses the plural... you see it means that you're talking about the whole group of things/persons
so you must add the 's' at the end of the next word
ex: all persons in this room are students

Thank you sister kiki
That is the point
What are the similar word " like some, most, little ……"
And which one refer to whole and the ones which refer to singular
I.E the rule pls
you're always welcome, sister
anytime
now
some, most, little, few... all express plural
it's all about the meaning of the word
and they all mean a group of things/persons
ex: some people are so kind but others are unbearable
most students come late in our high school
little/few things did I know about that girl.. I totally misjudged her
