I'm not trying to convince you that I'm right, I'm just asking because I'm curious.
What I was thinking when I wrote the post was that "newspapers" are one media, "television-channels" another media, "radio-channels" a third media, thus medias. Or, do one still just talk about them all as one, single mass-media? I think dubbing ruins movies. It looks so funny when the sound doesn't fit to the movement of the actors mouths. I know it's the same in Germany. Everything - everything is in German, all movies, series, etc. are dubbed. Luckily, it isn't like that here in Denmark. We have the original sound, with subtitles. 7% is not much. But do you think those people who don't know a foreign language actually want to learn one? I mean, many people think their life's fine, so they can't see why they should learn another language, when they don't have a need for it.

You know more than two, I think, even if it just a bit.

Now when I think of it, I have always used there as a pronoun. It is first now you make me think of it, and now I understand, that the verb, to be, don't actually belong to there, but a noun later in the sentence. There is some cows. Some cows is there. There are some cows. Some cows are there. Quote:

From a dictionary: The verb following there is singular or plural according to the number of the subject that follows the verb: There is a message for you. There are patients in the waiting room. With compound subjects in which all the coordinate words are singular, a singular verb often occurs, although the plural may also be used: There was (or were) a horse and a cow in the pasture. When a compound subject contains both singular and plural words, the verb usually agrees with the subject closest to the verb, although a plural verb sometimes occurs regardless, especially if the compound has more than two elements: There were staff meetings and a press conference daily. There was (or were) a glass, two plates, two cups, and a teapot on the shelf. Last edited by Rusty; September 06, 2008 at 08:31 AM. |
