Question

Hi,Can you tell me what form of the noun - singular or plural - I should use in this sentence: "In the example/examples 1 and 2 we are given extra information about ...."Thank you.

Hi Magda,

In examples 1 and 2, we are given...

With two examples, you should use the plural, but the article isn't necessary when you say "example one." You would need the article if you said "the first and second examples."

So, am I right in thinking that "the picture 1" is incorrect? Yes?

You are right. In English, the article is not normally used with a cardinal number:
