Grammar
"one thing" awarded to more than 1 person
Hi,
Which sentence is correct?
Sentence1:
I obtained the Holo Academic Prize . This was awarded to several candidates who had outstanding academic result.
Sentence2:
I obtained the Holo Academic Prize . These were awarded to several candidates who had outstanding academic result.
Sentence3:
I obtained the Holo Academic Prize . This is awarded to several candidates who had outstanding academic result.
Sentence4:
I obtained the Holo Academic Prize . These are awarded to several candidates who had outstanding academic result.
I find this difficult because:
The Holo Academic Prize is "one thing", but it was awarded to more than 1 person.
I obtained the prize in the past but I am still "holding" this prize.
My opinion:
"this is" should be used
Thanks
