"What īs the plural OF / FOR...?"
|
|
Hi everyone! I have a doubt about the following: Do you say "What īs the plural OF ...?" or "What īs the plural FOR...?". I also have the same doubt about SYNONYM, is it SYNONYM OF or SYNONYM FOR? |

Actually, Gabriel, you have a confusion, not a doubt. I don īt know about England, but in the US, we say "plural of". We say both "synonym of" and "synonym for". Bruce |
