right what's the correct way to write sentence seven and
- 00:31
hear the potential answers All right keep sniffing out The
- 00:35
problem with sentence seven is knowing that the words society
- 00:38
is actually singular Well sure the word represents a whole
- 00:41
lot of people that all those people are only in
- 00:44
one society right It's okay to chew on that a
- 00:47
bit Anyway since society is singular we can't use the
- 00:50
plural pronoun there to refer to it in a can
- 00:54
go because it does nothing to fix the pronoun problem
- 00:58

- 01:31
but it looks like choice is the only answer with
- 01:34
the guts to fix this pronoun problem Replacing it there
- 01:37
with its is what this ends needs Society is singular
- 01:42
It's is singular Why don't we get these two crazy
- 01:46
kids together huh like anything's ever gone wrong on a 00:01:49.218 --> [endTime] blind date before Uh right huh
