Question

Hi. I have a question. Would it be:

Les eleves portent des jeans, des tshirts, et des baskets.

Or

Les eleves portent un jean, un tshirt, et des baskets.

In other words, if the subject is plural, should all of the clothing items be plural? Or only dual items like socks and shoes? (Does that make sense?)

Like, sure, there is more than one person. Each person is wearing one pair of jeans, one tshirt, and two sneakers. But, because there are 2,000 students, in total there are 2,000 jeans, 2,000 tshirts, and 4,000 sneakers.

Confusing.

Thanks,
Corinna

Answer 1

Please put the required accent marks there! If you don't know how to do it, we need to know 2 things. a) do you have a PC or Mac and b) do you have Windows or not.

You have the idea because each person is wearing one, while many are wearing many.

Why not go with: Chaque élève porte un jean, (blue-jean), etc.
