 how to say it correctly? I would like to know, when I refer a generally true condition like below, which is one better? singular or plural? In this case I am not talking about only one cat but generally all cats. 1. Dogs are usually bigger than cats. 2. Dog is usually bigger than cat. Hope someone could help me Thanks... |

 Re: how to say it correctly? Use plural for things in general. Cats > all cats. |

| Re: how to say it correctly? And if you do use the singular countable noun, articles are de rigueur. |
