Can money reach an account?

Hello

please say me if I am correct when I write the following sentences:

"The money have reached our bank account"

"The money have been transferred to our account"

"We can see the money on our bank account"

Is all this correct? Can money reach a bank account or "to reach" is not correct in this context?

Thanks

Pamela

Hi, Here are my suggestions for the first two sentences: The money has reached our bank account. The money has transferred to our account. You can also write the following: The money transfer was successful.

Hi

thanks for the reply.

Is money singular and not plural???

Secondly, you wrote:

"the money has transferred to our account" I don´t understand this. doesn´t miss a "been" has been transferred...??

Thanks for the reply

Hi,

Money can be both singular and plural.

Both sentences are correct whether you include "been" or not in the sentence.

Hope this helps.

"been" is in this case facultative??

I didn´t know "money" can be singular and plural as well...

Yes.

Keep in mind that you can also use "monies" as the plural form of money.

Hope this helps.

Hi CJ,

you are of help very much.

Monies I have never heard.... I guess it doesn´t exist but I can say "money has" or "money have" remaining money the same.

It sounds really odd to me to say "has transferred" rather than "has been transferred" because in the first case It gives me the impression that" money has done something" while I want to say that someone has transfe
