What does grammar and composition mean?
  

Top answer

Grammar is the system and patterning by which language is organised. It is used to distinguish the "types" of words we use, such as the diferrence between verbs, nouns and prepositions, for example. It is also used to describe sentence structure and to classify the tenses of verbs, amongst other things.

I've been racking my brains for days so please help me!
Do you say :"it's them who do something" or "who does something" In other words, do you use the singular or the plural after it's us/it's you (plur) /it's them who...?
Thank you

I would say ' It's they who do something '.

As far as I know, there is nothing wrong to say ' It's us ' since ' it ' refers to the unknown.
