ADoc:

[quote=\"ppnqq\"]Need to double check on this :


________ of the children was at the playground when the fire broke out.
1. None
2. Most
3. All
4. Some

Which is the most appropriate ans? TIA.

Hi there! Most appropriate answer would be (1) since \"was\" refers to singular in this sentence.

In other words \"none\" = \"not one ...\"

If we were to use options (2), (3) & (4), it would be \"were\".

Oh, just realised how muddle headed I was! It was supposed to be a Maths question, did not know why I typed this question and asked under English. I must be too sick to make this silly mistake. Sorry, it's really too embarrassing to ask such a silly question too. What a day for me! :oops:

But anyway, thanks ADoc for the kind help. :D[/quote]haha! no prob at all...one of our 走火入魔... :x parents.... haha...

Hi may I get help on this Grammer MCQ :


Sally is one of my few friends I know who _______ uninterested in computer games.
1. are
2. were
3. is
4. am

MTIA

I go for 'are' too.

It is not referring to Sally because she has been addressed (pls see those in red).

Myself and DH debated and also agreed with your explanation.
However answer given 1. are
Feeling puzzled why so ? Recall there is come rules like one sentence cannot have two \" is \" . but not sure .... :?

Hi, I no expert but this has been discussed before and that's what I've learnt - the who here is not referring to Sally but the few friends I know who are uninterested...

Sounds like just one of the 'Rules' or something to learn by heart / hard ahhhh.... [/quote]Yes, there ARE some rules for grammar.

Actually, this question is not 'tricky' if you read carefully.

For those who are still puzzled.. see the 'Sally is'? Sally has already been addressed.
