Thank you for this video . I have watched most of your videos but I haven't watched some of them yet . You have explained this topic really superbly but it's a lot of information to take in and i think it would have been way better if you cut it short a bit . Being an average student it's my opinion . Thank you once again for your efforts . 🙏

@oxfordenglishnow5 жыл бұрын
Hi Andrea, of course you can ask questions! I ❤️ to help out my students. You could write, “No cities are perfect,” or “None of the cities are perfect.” Depending on the meaning you want to give. The first is a general statement about all cities whereas the second is specific to the cities you have already referred to. Hope that helps! 👍

Hi, I am from India. Our teachers have mostly taught us to use none of, either of with singular verbs, is it justified?
@oxfordenglishnow2 жыл бұрын
Hi Chandan, In formal styles, we use none of with a singular verb when it is the subject. However, in informal speaking, people often use plural verbs: None of that surprises me. Indeed, none of his novels is well shaped or well written. Either must be followed by of if we use it before the, these, those or possessives (my, your) with a plural noun. Hope that helps!

@oxfordenglishnow2 жыл бұрын
Hi Ahmed, thanks for the comment. As for your question, "a number of," would be referring to something more generally. For example, " A number of people were injured in the accident." Whereas, if you said, "the number of ..." it would be more specific. For example, " The number of people injured in the accident was small." I hope that helps!

@oxfordenglishnow5 жыл бұрын
Not one of my students is .... is correct and not, "Not one of my students are..." The difference with none is that sometimes none can mean "not one" and is then singular or "not any" and then would require a plural verb. For none, if we mean "none of them" we use a plural verb and if we mean "none of it" we use a singular verb. This is a very tricky area of grammar that even experts in the field disagree on. Hope that helps....
