Is it correct? I think that ' How many little brothers and sisters does it take to screw a lightbulb?' is correct rather than it.
Could you correct me?
Thanks. |

No - you screw in a light bulb.
You have to be careful with the verb to screw because it has colloquial meanings associated with sexual intercourse, breaking things, and cheating people (to name a few). |
