sisqology:lol... yeah... But I was also indirectly carrying on the "do" and "does" trend... |
| Re: ... by chukxie(m): 5:21pm On May 22, 2016 |
'Do' + first person singular and second person plural. 'Does'+ third person singular. Anyone who doesn't understand this simple grammar should go back to kindergarten. |

thesicilian: thesicilian: Well, so, you think its "Does" abi? I have argued the guy out o, he no gree. And he's someone I respect alot in English too. |
| Re: ... by sisqology(m): 6:48pm On May 22, 2016 |
chukxie:Are you saying the following are both correct? 1. Do I(first person singular) know you? 2. Do they(second person plural) know him? chukxie: 1. Does he (third person singular) know all of the above? Fine, thank you. You need to enlighten people before they make blunders everywhere. Now, we are talking about words like anybody anyone everybody [size=18pt]Do anyone understand this or Does anyone understand this[/size] |

| Re: ... by thesicilian: 7:30pm On May 22, 2016 |
sisqology: Yeah, Does goes with singular e.g does he? does anyone? and do goes with plural eg do they, 1 Like |
| Re: ... by chukxie(m): 9:41pm On May 22, 2016 |
sisqology: To answer the first part of your questions: "Do I know him?" and "Do they know him?" are 100% correct sentences. "Does he know all of the above?" is100% correct, too. In English, there is something called Indefinite pronouns.They are are words which replace nouns without specifying which noun they replace. Singular forms: anybody, anyone, anything, each, everybody, everyone, everything, nobody, no one, nothing, somebody, someone, something... E.g. Everybody knows him. Nobody cares about this kindergarten grammar I'm trying to teach. Does anyone understand this grammar? |

chukxie: Lol, your reply though.. Thank you, I'm aware the grammar man is reading himself... |

sisqology: No blame me bro na so I see. Good morning from here. |

damibravo:Hmm. Tell it to the lawyers and the law makers. Use of language and correct sentence construction to convey a specific meaning is what matters. |
