Common Errors In English Usage Dictionary
These are them & these are they
Although only the pickiest listeners will cringe
when you say “these are them,”
the traditionally correct phrase is “these are they,”
because “they” is the predicate nominative of “these.”
However, if people around you
seem more comfortable with “it’s me”than “it’s I,”
you might as well stick with “these are them."
Common Errors In English Usage Dictionary
These kind & this kind
In a sentence like “I love this kind of chocolates,”
“this” modifies “kind”(singular) and not “chocolates” (plural),
So, it would be incorrect to change it to
“I love these kind of chocolates.”
Only if “kind”itself is pluralized into “kinds”
should “this” shift to “these“:
“You keep making these kinds of mistakes!”
Common Errors In English Usage Dictionary
These ones & these
By itself,there’s nothing wrong with the word “ones” as a plural: “surrounded by her loved ones.”
However, “this one” should not be pluralized to “these ones.”
Just say “these."
