The Missing S

with one comment

The 27 year old man owns a gorgeous four wheel drive.

Owns.
There’s an s already!

Yeah, but..

27 year old man? A gorgeous four wheel drive?
Aren’t they supposed to be 27 years old man and a gorgeous four wheels drive?
Well, no.

Noun phrase that acts as an adjective will lose its plural form.

Not all plural get their s.
