Hi, I discovered the following phrases are amibious - which one 'sounds'
more correct than the other?! Confuses me....
"Is she and adam still an item?"
"Are she and adam still an item?"
by 'item' - it means 'still in a relationship' - in this sense.
I thought "Are adam and nicola sitll an item?' would be perfectly
reasonable, so why wouldn't "Are adam and she still an item?" or "Are she
and Adam still an item?" be acceptable also?
Och jesus it's confused you too now eh....
