Dear all,
I have one quick question. I read two contradictory statements concerning "all" and "none".
One book says: "None of the shirts are cool." is correct since plural/singular depends on the "of..."-part (the same with some, any, ALL, most).
Another book says: "None of the shirts IS cool" is correct since "none" is always singular.
The same question applies to "all": One book says: "all" always requires ARE, the other book says: it depends on "of"-part
Which of the books is correct? Is "none" similar to "each" and "every" (ALWAYS singular) or does it depend on the "of"-part? What about "all"?
Thank you very much in advance!
