Hi,

Question:
Should I write "trainee or trainees"?

Sentence:
I believe that ABC Ltd can offer its trainee / trainees with good training.


My opinion:
There are more than 1 trainee in ABC Ltd, so logically "trainees" should be used.
However, I am not sure whether it is idiomatic or not.

Thanks

"Trainees" is correct, but delete "with", unless you replace "offer" with "provide".
