Hi BarbaraPA,

Thanks for correcting those sentences. I know that 'What's on the floor', It's always singular, would it be correct to say What're on the floor?

Thanks

No - "What are those things on the floor?" is okay, though.

Hi BarbaraPA,

I understand. But is question 'What's on the floor?' to the answer 'Some cookies, books, a toy car and a crayon.'

Thanks
