Hi there,

I've got several questions to ask you:

-Can we say "on my laps" or does this have to be always singular? (ie: on my lap)?

-Can we say: "I've had a dog but now it's dead? or is it better to say: I had a dog but now it's dead"?

-Can we say: "I had to travel by train during 12h and I read all along"?

-Can we say "false money" or is it better to say "fake money"

Thanks

A person's 'lap' is the flat area between the waist and knees of a seated person . We only have one per person, so it can only be 'on my lap'.

I had a dog but now it's dead" is correct

"I had to travel by train on the 12h and I read all the way."

We say, 'counterfeit money', and colloquially, 'fake money', and, 'that note is a fake'
