"not only who"
"It is not only you who likes to invite people in their house, but also me." Is this sentence correct? I mean i am not sure if "likes" and "their" is correct here, I talk about one person but also about many others. Does "likes" needs that s at the end?

I think I'd say It's not only you who likes to invite people to their/your house, but also me. Now, both "their" and "your" have some problems. With "there" , it's almost as if you're inviting people to their own houses.

- With "your", it could be interpreted as "other people (and not just you) invite people to your house.
- Anyway, I believe that you can use that sentence (especially the one with "their") and it's unlikely that you'll be misunderstood.

demion"It is not only you who likes to invite people in their house, but also me." Is this sentence correct?It's OK except that 'in' should be 'to' or 'into'.

Thank you. I questioned it because in our language we use a singular third-person for this sentence, and I didn't feel it right in English.
How much can I rely on your "I believe" and "it's unlikely"? Do you have an idea how can i express the same thing more accurately?

demionHow much can I rely on your "I believe" and "it's unlikely"? Do you have an idea how can i express the same thing more accurately?People use common sense when they communicate, so unless your sentence is said in a very unusal context, the chances of your being misunderstood are practically non-existent.
