|
|
Hello,
I always get confused whether to use 'how is' or 'how are' in the following sentence:
"How is/ Sam and Jenny doing?"
Should we use 'is' or 'are'?
thanks |

| Once in a while you'll hear someone say "is," but "are" is the correct choice. |

| And most people would say, "How's Sam and Jenny doing?" |
