How to Construct an Unambiguous Joint Possessive that Follows a Verb? I'm not quite following. Obviously you can remove the ambiguity by saying "I sang to John's and Mary's daughter". And obviously it doesn't mean that you sang to two daughters. (Likewise, "John's and Mary's cats" is only ambiguous because cats is plural.) So I'm not really sure what your question here is. Also, in speech "I sang to [John] and [Mary's daughter]" is completely different from "I sang to [[John and Mary]'s daughter]". Writing is notoriously bad at reproducing intonation, but that is a general problem, and there are various general workarounds. |

In the context of family, what is the opposite of “immediate”? @Mohit yes, I actually use it. Apparently so does the San Francisco Chronicle and a bunch of books on Google Books. I never said it was popular, let alone the most popular. In fact I expressly added "to me". |

There is/are for multiple subjects The question is about syntax, not meaning. The meaning of the sentence is not changed by using "there is" instead of "there are", either. Both indicate "those fruit exist [in that place]". So now your answer is even wrong by your own logic. |

Word Pairs Like Prideful / Proud? Um, I'm afraid it's the opposite of too specific. There are any number of equally correct answers. So unless people work together to write up one single giant endless community-wiki answer (or you edit this such that there is a single, objectively correct answer), this will have to be closed as not constructive. |

Try something by video? ... or following, or after. In any case, I think this is a better fit for ELL. |
