質問: i need your opinions: i happened to see the senten i need your opinions: i happened to see the sentence "tv commercials of 'fabries' makes me tired." in facebook. so i pointed out the writer should remove the ‘s’ from the verb ‘makes' because the subject is plural. but he rebelled against my advice by writing as follows, “i learned that ‘is’ is better than ‘are’ in this sentence “3 days is long enough to go around vancouver. ” but i think in this case ‘3 days’ means 72 hours on end, so ‘is’ is possible. but ‘tv commercials’ in that case is quite different. what do you think about this matter? ※ 日本人の方は日本語で回答をお寄せ下さい。大歓迎です。 《 余談 》 [ 元々の投稿者の思いつき?:fabries ]→ [ 英語としての正解:febreze ]
回答: "the three days _was_ long."というような表現は十分可能です。 しかしどこのフォーラムでのやり取りか知りませんが、些細な間違いを一々指摘してみても、いわゆる「空気を嫁ない奴」と見なされるだけに終わることが少なくありませんのであまり深入りしない方がよろしいでしょう。
