29 de abr. de 2020 · First of all, I'm starting from the assumption these sentences are the only ones correct: this/that kind of thing -- when we are talking about one kind (of that thing) these/those kinds of things -- when we are talking about several kinds (of such things) I've read dozen of threads about this question but it seems to me it doesn't exist any rules.
30 de dic. de 2006 · Dec 30, 2006. #5. I agree. I see no difference between "these" and "those" unless, of course, you are going to list new actions that can be done. If this is the case, you will want to use "these things," and you may, if you wish, put a colon after the word "camera" and begin your list there. D.
8 de abr. de 2006 · There is some debate about why English got rid of a lot of the grammar it used to have. Some say that English is a creole, that it's the product of a pidgin language, and that's why it's so simple.

25 de oct. de 2016 · You can't say "everything" is "all" anything. It's nonsensical. The confusion about singular/plural verbs shows that. "everything" needs "is", while "all" needs "are". You can correctly use one or the other: - The things she says are all lies. - All the things she says are lies. - Everything she says is a lie.

I understand that when we use "all" as the subject, whether it is singular or plural depends on the issue it refers to, which is shown in the rest of the sentence.

Hi Combustion, Quick tip 1: the words "here" and "there" in the beginning of a sentence like this one can NEVER be the subjects of the verb. Quick tip 2: the subject can never be in a prepostional phrase (so get rid of "of things.") That means what's left is "a lot" as the subject and "are" as the verb. Correct answer: There are a lot of things ...
