Plural and tense

Hi guys,

I am not sure which of the following expression is the most appropriate one.
Any insights would be appareicated!

Which airline or airlines has or have the most flights?

Which aireline or airlines have the most flights?

Which airline (s) has (have) the most flights?

Which airline/airelines has/have the most flights?

Which airline or airlines has/have the most morning flights?

The tenses are all the same here. " If you really want to know which airline has the most flghts, then use the singular. If you want to know the top two or three, you can use the plural: Which airlines have the most flights?

  • The tenses are all the same here.
  • " If you really want to know which airline has the most flghts, then use the singular.
  • If you want to know the top two or three, you can use the plural: Which airlines have the most flights?
  • People often say this, but you could argue that it doesn't really make sense.
  • You could use the plural like this: These are the most beautiful pearls I've ever seen!
