- Your hair are beautiful.
- Your hair is beautiful.
Which one is the correct sentence to be used.
Which one is the correct sentence to be used.
Your hair is beautiful.
hair - singular, even when speaking about the many strands on your head.
In the plural, ‘Your hairs are beautiful.’ would be correct but most odd, as it would be assumed you are speaking about a small number of them.
Is this grammatically correct?
Your hair is wet. (I am refering to multiple strands of hair.)
Why not?
(Now, suppose you see a strand/piece of hair on your pillow, you can say: There is a hair on my pillow. You will also find it in plural as in idioms like ‘split hairs’.)
Yes.
Your strands of hair is wet
would be incorrect
but these are all grammatical:
Your hair is wet.
A lock of your hair is wet.
A patch of your hair is wet.
and even
Some of your hair is wet.
You may also say ‘A tuft of your hair is wet’.
As long as the person speaking knows what a ‘tuft of hair’ is, yes.
This is an uncalled for remark. Please leave it to the poster. Yes, as long as the person speaking knows ‘lock, strand and patch’. Don’t trigger an avoidable discussion, for Heaven’s sake.
If someone has hair on their head, then they can be considered to have a lock, strand or patch of hair. Not everyone is considered to have a tuft of hair. Its a far more particular feature.
If you aren’t aware of that, then possibly you don’t fully understand it yourself.
It is not about the ‘heady’ hair alone that we should talk. The posters and onlookers may know much more than what you and I know. If you aren’t aware of that, then possibly you don’t fully understand it yourself.
I’m at a loss to guess what is itching you when your are questioned. If you can’t appreciate the assertive and reasonable arguments of others, you had better ignore them (either or both as you take it).
There are certain things expected of you if you claim to be a coach. I have been meeting (physically, not digitally like you) hundreds of people including students and teachers (from home and abroad), but have not seen a ‘teacher’ like you. Are you really a teacher? If so, a trained teacher? I DO suspect whether you are a teacher at all. Even a coach in the field of sports will have that ‘spirit’.
Learn a bit of psychology and nurse a sense of empathy.
Same old straw dogs.
My response to you was reasoned. You’re the person who seems to have become rather agitated.
