USE OF ARE
Hello Trainers,
I just want to know why'' are'' is used in the following sentence.like:
Shrilanka are 49 runs. Here,in this sentence are is used .But mostly we use is instead of are.
I think, due to possession are [helping verb ] is used. if it's yes. so please tell me Could I build the following sentences like this;
I have happy life. / I are happy life.
She has one car./ she are one car.
My next question is what helping verb will be used if the sentence starts with the subject plural such as;
they ,we ,you
THANKS IN ADVANCE
