Food
|
I think it �s a silly question, but how do you say:
My favourite food is pizza and pasta
or
My favourite food are pizza and pasta?
Thanks for your help

I remember I was surprised when watching a movie I heard one of the characters say, "My favourite fruit is oranges"
I think the first sentence is correct (food - uncountable) If you were to say, "Pasta and pizza are my favourite food" that would be correct as well. |

You could say either:
My favorite food is pizza and pasta.
or
My favorite foods are pizza and pasta
I would lean toward the second myself, but it really is optional I would say.

I agree with douglas. Unless you eat them together as one dish, they are separate foods ("Food" has both a countable and an uncountable nature, depending on how you are using it). Bruce |
