In another thread it was discussed how a verb can determine plurality, despite the noun (A hundred dollars were hanging on the tree, A hundred dollars was on the mantle.)
Now a trivial challenge: Can an adjective determine plurality, despite both noun and verb?
(Hint: it's not even uncommon, perhaps slightly poetic, slightly exclamatory.)
There are some nouns which are the same in both the singular and plural form. The only way to tell if they are singular or plural is by the modifier.
e.g. A deer was grazing in the field. Three deer were grazing in the field.
Ok, number-neutral noun and verb are fine (verbs 'can' and 'will' and any in past tense, except 'be').
But give me one where noun and verb are not neutral, and yet the adjective decides despite. Â Come on!
(Honest challenge, not a trick.)
7 days ! Â Challenge spurned or too hard? Â Either way, Ah eem mearstufah !
