Does this word need "s"? (Just need confimation)

Which word are you referring to? You neither highlighted, underlined, or bolded the word in desired word in the sentence or taken the word out of context so we could understand your question. It's not polite to make people read your mind when you write vaguely worded questions.

Are you referring to the verb, says? If so it is correctly conjugated with its associated noun ... advertisement which is in its singular form.

If the noun was plural then the verb would go without the s and be written as say.

... advertisements in Today's NYT say ...

I was referring to the word "say". Please have a look at my question carefully.

I didn't highlight, underline, or bold the word deliberately. I actually don't how to do that. I had tried to figure out how to do that but didn't get the way to do it. I would definitely to do that if told how to do that.

You say "It's not polite to make people read your mind when you write vaguely worded questions. "

Shall keep your words in mind next time. I didn't know an innocuous question could be taken as - making-people-'read'-their-mind-read! Had never experienced that. I felt it's not out of context or vague, so I posted it that manner. Will try not to do that in the future.

Thanks a lot for your reply by the way. It really helped.

Razer's question seemed perfectly clear to me. Although 'end' was repeated unnecessarily. I think he meant 'at the end'.



The answer is "yes, it does". One advertisement says something. Multiple advertisements say something.

Thanks Contrex. Yes, I meant "at the end".

BTW, the T in Today's shouldn't be capitalized.

Before you click the reply button, highlight the word you want to underline or bold. Now, above the post box there are a series of buttons. B will bold it, i will get italic, and u will underline the highlighted text. First time or two you try it, click the 'Preview' button to see how it will look before posting.

If you don't have these options, check out the Preferences in your profile.

Thanks Roger. I discover the toolbar by clicking on the green "close BBCode Editor" text. It worked.
