How are your parents reply?
Aaron is right on the money! As Murphy so correctly says, the first questions we as baby boomers ask our friends and colleagues is, “How are your parents?” Invariable the answer is “They are fine, getting a bit older and a bit frail, but fine.”
How is your father?
Meaning: Sexy time, sexual intercourse or other sexual activity. Normally used in a phrase in Britain similar to: “Fancy a bit of how’s your father?” When he was supposedly stumped for an answer in one of his sketches, he would break off and ask “how’s your father?” as a way to change the subject.
Where are your parents or where is your parents?
“Parents” is a plural word so we use “are”. “How is your mother” singular. “How is your father” singular. “How are your parents” plural.
Do we say parent or parents?
If you talk about them collectively, like, ‘my mom and my dad’, you say ‘parents’. It’s the same as if you said, Fred and Mike are my friends. Definitely not one friend. But if you want to say, just your mom, or just your dad, then it’s just ‘parent’.
Has or have your parents?
‘my parents have ‘ is correct . You can understand it by the subjest-verb agreement , that states that when there is singular subject (parent) , then the verb is also singular (has). When there is plural subject (parents) , the verb is also plural (have).
Where do your parents live?
“Where do your parents live?” is correct because the subject is parents, and therefore, the verb must be plural. “Why,” “where,” and when” are adverbs, and while they are at the beginning of questions, they are not verbs, and the subject follows the verb, but it must still agree in number.
Do Does your family?
Here family is a singular unit, therefore it should be does. A family may have many people but the word ‘family’ is singular. So, as is the case every time a question of the do-form is asked, it’s ‘Does’ before a singular subject and ‘Do’ before a plural subject.
Do your or does your grammar?
We use do/does or is/are as question words when we want to ask yes/no questions. We use does and is with third person singular pronouns (he, she, it) and with singular noun forms. We use do and are with other personal pronouns (you, we they) and with plural noun forms.
What is the difference do and does?
“Does” is used for singular subjects like “he,” “she,” “it,” “this,” “that,” or “John.” “Do” is used to form imperative sentences, or commands. Example: Do your homework. “Does” is never used to form imperative sentences.
Do don ts?
Dos and don’ts is an especially unusual exception. The apostrophe in the contraction doesn’t seems to make people want to use an apostrophe to make do plural (do’s and don’ts), but then to be consistent, you’d also have to use an apostrophe to make don’t plural, which becomes downright ugly (do’s and don’t’s).
Does V do?
When the question is with a third person singular pronoun, the word “does” is used. While the verb “do” is used when referring to more than one person or thing, the word “does” is used in sentences that refer to a single person or thing. For example: “It does look nice on you. They do look nice together.”
Do any or does any?
“Do any of you” is much more comfortable and much more usual than “does any of you.” “Any” refers to an indefinite number or amount, including “one.” So, if a person asks, “Do any of you know….” h/she may be thinking about the possibility of more than one response.
Why do we use I have instead of I?
Please remember that we use “has” with third person singular subject only, and since “I” is a first person singular subject we can’t use “has” with ‘I’. Instead we use “have”with first person and second person singular as well as plural subjects .
Who doesn’t has or have?
Here is the reason “doesn’t have” is correct, but “doesn’t has” is not correct: Whenever you use an auxiliary verb (e.g., “does”), only the auxiliary verb will indicate person and number (e.g., “she” is third-person singular, so the verb “does” must indicate this).
Can we use are with who?
are (The antecedent of who is members, which is plural.) is (Only one number could be the correct answer to a particular mathematical problem, so the relative pronoun which is, in this sentence, singular.)

In a defining clause, use that. In non-defining clauses, use which. Remember, which is as disposable as a sandwich bag. If you can remove the clause without destroying the meaning of the sentence, the clause is nonessential and you can use which.
