Vocabulary
would be the first say to you
I read this on the net:
I'd like to think that she would be the first say to you, subtextually of course, "Physician, heal thyself",
and I was wondering why it wasn't 'says' instead of 'say', because the complete sentence without leaving out words, I thought, would have been:
I'd like to think that she would be the first one who says to you, subtextually of course, "Physician, heal thyself."
Did the writer make a mistake there? Thanks.
