We are Italian I need help about a simply ruler but it is for me a big dubt. We are Italian - We are English - We are American and so on .... Italian, English, American are noun adjectives or simply adjectives with implicit meaning people? If they are only adjectives they are write singular, aren't they? thanksDear Randy, I take u more details. For example in a exercise of English grammar, in a my son's homework, the teacher said to declinate verb to be with the adejective 'Italian'. I am Italian - You are Italian - He is Italian - She is Italian - It is Italian - We are Italians - You are Italians - They are Italians; or is it correct write Italian without 's' for plural for every person?Thanks
