My favourite animal is a dog. - it is correct. (favorite- Am. E.; favourite -Br. E.) "dog " is a noun in a singular form and it needs an article. |

As an American, I would say the answer in plural.
What is your favorite animal?
e.g. My favorite animals are cats. / Cats are my favorite animals. |

I �m a new member and I have a similar question: when we ask "What �s your favourite food?" , what �s the answer if we talk about plural nouns? (e.g. eggs, spaghetti, vegetables)? Thank you |

�My favourite food is apples �. Use the plural. BUT �apples are my favourite food �. |

My favorite animals are cats.
Plural, talking about general terms (all cats). |

Well in my opinion you could say My favourite animal is the cat and my favorite animals are cats. Is the first sentence correct? Is there a native speaker who could help ? |
