Grammar
Mostly for pronoun dilemma
Hi. Please help me with these.
1. If there is/are any who do/does this, it will not be good.
Q1: Should it be "If there is" or "If there are"?
Q2: Should it be "who do" or "who does"?
2. (Question form of the sentence, "I am going to wear a suit with those/them")
What are you going to wear these/them with?
I think the pronoun "these" in this context would be different than the pronoun "them," although both of them would be grammatically correct. As to the sentence I wrote on the top, "Please help me with these," I think both the pronouns "these" and "them" would be correct but the contextual meaning (I hope these phrase correctly reflects I wanted to say) would be different with the use of either "these" and "them" in it.
Also do you think this question form is correct, too?
With what are you going to wear these/them?
