Hi there, A) yes you can say "he wears socks and boots when he plays football" but you would probably just say "he wears boots when he plays football" because you just assume he is already wearing socks there is no need to say it in the sentence. " "What a nice pair of shoes" "They are made of leather" - pair is plural so you say 'they' not 'it' ii. Hello may I speak to Lee?
