Hi Dawn, thanks for your lesson. It's really useful to me! it's very clear, simple and detailed to understand. However, there are some examples that I don't really get it. Can you please explain it? I read these examples in your post: - He owns three cars, none of which is economical. - The play has ten actors, none of whom is believable. - I have 4 sisters, none of whose children attend dance classes. So I wonder, why in the last example, 'attend' is in plural form instead of singular form like 2 above examples 'is'? Thank you and Regards, Giang Le
Hi Giang Le, thanks for your question. I apologise for giving such a confusing example! When we use "none of" to mean 'not one individual' then the following verb takes the singular form. But when we are referring to "not any of the group", then we can use the plural form. So using either one would actually be correct depending on my emphasis. If I wanted to make the point that not one individual attends dance classes then 'attends' is correct. Or if my point is that the whole collective group doesn't attend dance classes, then 'attend' is fine. This is more complicated than I was aiming for in the video! I will try to be more careful with my examples in future. 😅 I hope the explanation helps.
