| Re: singular or plural? As we're talking about one woman, it would be more natural to me to say: I don't have a sister.  |

| Re: singular or plural? I agree. But isn't it used in informal language the same way as in "I will buy you some dress"? I heard this expression f.i. in The West Wing series. Or maybe it is short for "some kind of dress"? Ewelina |
