OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

If likes: Neither of Holly's parents likes being hurried.

OpenStudy (arabpride):

The phrase "of Holly's parents" is like NOISE in the sentence Zone that Noise out "Neither LIKES to be hurried"

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Hm, this one is tricky.

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

yep!

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

I still think A, but B, can be possible.

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

hmmm.. =.=

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Now to mention; likes is starting to appeal to me. But if we say it, it equally sounds correct. I thought it didn't need anymore Ss.

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

Okay, so I go with B now?

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

But the subject is PARENTS. Not neither.

OpenStudy (arabpride):

~phacedesk~

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

hahha

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

When you say "Neither of Holly's parents LIKE to be hurried", it sounds better. But your ears can fool you ;-;

OpenStudy (misssmartiez):

Yes! What agrees with parents is like. Not likes. Unneeded 's'.

OpenStudy (x__hazel__x):

Hmmm... So A now? @arabpride

OpenStudy (arabpride):

Idk, man Go with your gut feeling

OpenStudy (arabpride):
