							| Hi guys, I�ve been wondering what�s the correct way to ask this question; What does your mother and father do ? Or What do your mother and father do ?
I�m leaning towards do as the sentence uses the conjunction AND .
Thanks for all the help . Have a nice day |  17 Dec 2023

							| Yes - if you were using a pronoun, it would be they, so what do your mother and father (they) do? |  18 Dec 2023

							| In the event that you were to use a pronoun, it would be they; therefore, what can you tell me about your mother and father (they)? |  13 Nov 2024
