Just a question
|

Hi everyone,
What �s the correct answer to this question?:
What �s your favourite pet?
1. Dogs are my favourite pet/s.
2. The dog is my favourite pet.
Thanks in advance.
Big hugs,
Choli |

I �d say,
- grammaticaly, it �s the 2nd one, because, it takes up the grammatical subject of the question
- but semanticaly, both are correct.
Hope I helped. :-)

(1) Dogs are my favourite pets becuase I don �t like cats.
(2) out of all the pets we have/I have in the house, the dog is my favourite pet.
so both of these are ok but depending on the sentence or question. Redbull gives you wings you know  . |

If you �re speaking in general of all dogs, use the plural. Using the singular is effective communication, but sounds non native (not that there �s anything wrong with that).
