No be-verb examples #60

Closed maco closed 7 years ago

None of the pronoun examples use a be-verb.

I can't tell whether "fey" should use "is" or "are."

morganastra commented 7 years ago

true. the omission is half-intentional; some pronouns could go either way, people even use "they" with singular conjugations of be in some contexts. specifying the plurality of the verb in every pronoun.is link would be tedious. and, the sentences have a lot of recognition now, so we are very hesitant to change them at all.

but be-verb examples would be nice to have. maybe someday.

Came here to find out whether "Fey is" or "Fey are" is correct, would be nice to know.
