Term/terms

Question 1:

Your sentence should be correct in terms/term of grammar.

I seem to use in terms more than in term. What's the correct answer?

Question 2:

I am on/in good terms with your friend.

Is it on or in?

Random question:

The tickets are/ticket is sold out.

Which one is correct? And how do you change it into the active form?

You can also simply say "Your sentence should be gramatically correct." That avoids the "in terms of" completely.

Hi,

Random question:

The tickets are/ticket is sold out.

Which one is correct? The plural version.

And how do you change it into the active form?

They have sold all the tickets.

For the active form,

They have sold out all the tickets.

Is this acceptable?

Ji,

'Out' is casual and not really necessary.

If they are all sold, that means they are sold out.
