Grammar
Aid [sing.] + two nouns that specify the aid [sing or pl?]
Hello everyone!
This is my sentence:
"The aid she chooses are games and activities that use the board."
My question is: I'm using aid as an uncountable noun here and then I enumerate two other nouns, i.e. games and activities so I use the verb are and not is. Is it correct? Or, perhaps, should I use the noun aid as a perfectly countable noun, given the Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary definition number 4. that is aid = sth that you use to help you do sth. In this case the noun is countable. So, should I write:
"The aids she chooses are games and activities that use the board."
Please give me an advice, I'm not sure which sentence sounds more natural in English formal language. Thank you in advance.
