the first impression

Hi,

Question #1: How would you say the first imprsession (when you first look at something) in another way, using either look, glimpse or glance verb?

Question #2: It is verb and not verbs, is it not?

I thought it would be at first sight, but it has the connotation of immediacy.

I am looking for some "neutral" expressions.

Thanks.

Hi Marius,

I have come to realise that my sentence is not corect semantically, or at least it does not say what I meant.

Anyway, is it correct to say,

1 You either choose this, that or the other items.

2 You either choose this, that or the other item

IMO, the 2nd is the only acceptable usage.

thanks again

1 You either choose this, that or the other items. The plural here is confusing the choice.

2 You either choose this, that or the other item.

IMO, the 2nd is the only acceptable usage. Yes.
