---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: lura dosa <luradsa@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: family issues Hello.. If you are asked "Was your family in Jerusalem last weekend?", can you answer " Yes/No, they were/weren't" ? I know that family can go with both singular and plural verbs. My question is whether the upper question/answer parts match. Thank you and have a great week:-) ************************************** ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** post to list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** David Lloyd: ETNI founder & manager http://david.greenlloyd.com ***************************************
