Hi native teachers,
Thanks a lot for your kind instruction.
What I would like to cofirm today is whether or not "thereof" can be used
as "of + plural nouns", e.g., "The reflector 1 and the reflector 2 are designed in such a way that the diameters thereof are aproximately the same."
Your reply at your earliest convenience would be highly appreciated.
Joseph@Shiga. |

There's no distinction between singular and plural when using "thereof". Here are some example texts:
The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 (Space Act) requires NASA to "provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof."
In such event, Company may disclose the User's identity and contact information, if requested by a government or law enforcement body or as a result of a subpoena or other legal action, and Company shall not be liable for damages or results thereof and User agrees not to bring any action or claim against Company for such disclosure.
The purpose of the BSc(Hons) research project is to provide students with an opportunity to study a particular problem within this area. It is also intended to provide training and experience in individual study and research, and communicating the results thereof.
