Hi there,
could somebody tell me if there is any gramatical fault in "None of us" phrase?
I like making games in Minecraft and I upload them on Youtube. People download them and play them and some Canadians made a video about my game and when they were reading "None of us was dare to go there" they started to laugh and said: "Is that a f***ing scottish or what"?
So I´m kinda confused since google didn´t consider my words as anything bad.
It is important for you to know that I´m NOT an original english speaker, I know english only from school.
or "none of us would dare go there". sounds a lot better than "aint a bit of us" or "not any of us". Better question would be why are you worrying what Canadians are saying?
"None" is the same as "not one," so many think it always requires a singular verb.
But the object noun in the phrase determines which form of the verb you use.
So you would use it this way:
None of the garbage was picked up.
None of the chairs were comfortable.
She checked all of the plates and none were chipped.
