Two questions in one: one or two rings? two rings or the two rings?
Hi. Please help. Could we use the underlined part to refer to her having an old new ring and another ring that is new (all together two)? Would it better if written "The old and the new rings"? Also, could we have the definite article "the" in front of the phrase "two rings"?
The old and new rings she has are from her husbands, two rings (the two rings?) that are precious for what they represent than what they are worth.
How about this sentence? Which is correct for the underlined part, with or without the definite article before the phrase "two friends"? Thank you in advance.
He had two best friends in high school, two friends (the two friends?) who have remained his inspiration to this day.
