Dear teachers,
I have one question with the word 'respectively. The sentences goes like this.
Andy and Alex release their toy car (or toy cars) from the rubber band (or rubber bands) respectively, and let it (or them) move ahe long the wooden plank. The distance travelled by toy cars is measured.
This is a Science question. So, there is a fix way of asking the question. My main problem is only with the singular and plural usage with the word 'respectively'. The situation is about two boys doing experiment, by releasing their toy car from a rubber band. There are two cars and two rubber bands of cox, but I am not sure whether I have to singular instead because of the word 'respectively'.
Plz kindly advice.
Thank you.
Regards,
Sheeta
