Sorry but it drives me up the wall

i beleive that is also supposed to say "There are alot of fish in the sea."FishFreak said:OK Fish is used when you are refering to plural fish of the same species. As in " There are a lot of fish in that tank" and the tank has only goldfish or only angelfish,etc. Fishes is used when refering to many fish of defferent species as in "There are alot of fishes in the sea" Hope that clears it up some
that is crap tense is used in combination with other words such as if i wanted to say computers it would be the computers (well the equivilant of that anyways)J_acon said:Actually, Fish is also use as the plural. But i don't care. In chinese they got one word only and don't care how many they are.
I think "Fishes" is appropriate in this example:diVer said:There are instances where fishes is appropiate, I can't remember when it is but it has something to do with referring to them in a certain way, I've got a book that explains it so I'll go take a look.
There's not a singular or plural form for fish in chinese, but they do have a way of saying (on the grammar structure) that it's one fish, several fish or many fish they are talking about.J_acon said:Actually, Fish is also use as the plural. But i don't care. In chinese they got one word only and don't care how many they are.
