Which one of the following would be correct?
- Some likes ice-cream, some don't.
- Some like ice-cream, some don't.
As of what I know, we use "likes" with singular words like "He, she" etc and we use "like" with plural words like "they" etc.
However, I am confused about this one. What will we use with "some"?
Best Answer
You should think of some as some people, who like or don't like things.
Some is not used with a singular noun, we say "a boy, a man",etc. The word "people" is left out in your sentences, but if you put it after some, you will see that your first example is incorrect.
