Moral ground vs grounds
Could you please help me with these?
1 Under/according to moral standards, torture would be wrong.
2 A pacifist is a person who refuses to bear arms or to fight on moral or religious ground. (what does this mean "on moral ground"
3 I object on moral grounds. HOW COME IT TAKES AN "S"
I stand on moral ground. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? AND HERE, HOW COME THERE IS NO "S"?
Could you tell me how to fix this sentence? I head this in a movie, but is it wrong?
1 I can tell the difference, especially when someone is underess, if they are withholding information or if I'm wasting my time.
Thank you
