Luca Nicola Posted April 16, 2020 Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hello everyone How are you feeling today? reference: subject-verb agreement I can't understand why has is wrong. Sorry but I simply can't get it. No other data has become available. 'data' is the plural of 'datum'; however, in modern usage, it can be used with a singular or a plural verb: This data is imprecise. = These data are imprecise. Thanks in advance Best regards, Luca Link to comment
Head Tutor Minoo Posted April 16, 2020 Head Tutor Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hello Luca, Yes, both answers should be considered correct. I'll ask the administrator to adjust the test. Luca Nicola 1 Link to comment
Luca Nicola Posted April 16, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hello everyone How are you feeling today? reference: Meeting, greeting and welcoming a visitor in the advanced section there's a sentence like this: would you like to freshen up first? I thought it were: would you like to freshen yourself up first? Is this other sentence gramatically correct? Thanks in advance Best regards, Luca Link to comment
