All our equipment have a six (6) month manufacturer's warranty.

Is there anything wrong with the above sentence?

I think its wrong. The 'all' presupposes that the equipment mentioned is more than one. Hence, the use of 'equipments' seem appropriate. But then, is there a plural for the word equipment ending with a 's'? Let me consult my dictionary.

Nothing is wrong with the grammar

6 months, not month.

Equipment is an Uncountable Noun, and has no plural form.

yamakuza: 6 months, not month.

6month is correct. He said *a* 6 month.

Lord_Reed: All our equipment have a six (6) month manufacturer's warranty.

Is there anything wrong with the above sentence?

It depends on what you are trying to say.

1. All equipment have a (6)six-month manufacturer's warranty.

2. All our equipment have a (6)six-month warranty.




These two expressions are better in my opinion (grammatically). Remember, warranties have legal connotations as well, you might want to consider that in your analysis.

I dont think.

Lord_Reed: All our equipment have a six (6) month manufacturer's warranty.

Is there anything wrong with the above sentence?

If the notion of 'all our equipment' denotes a single collective concept, then a singular verb 'has' instead of 'have' should have been more appropriate. Semantically, i think the sentence is correct.
I stand to be corrected though

U'r rite my brov

xynerise:
6month is correct. He said *a* 6 month.

edit: according to Google, 6 month is indeed correct!

Note: when u use a number before a noun,verb etc d next word must b in singular.

A 2 day course
A 4 man panel
A 3 course meal

There is no such word as equipments.


@ OP,

The sentence is perfect. . .

First write it in your town language then translate it, otherwise, you will continue to chase rat for another 51 years.

Funny but true. We are too good at putting foreign languages first.

Fixed!

TRY SPEAKING THE SENTENCE. Change the "HAVE" TO "HAS". Thank you.

Equipment should go for second person singular-- it-- but 'all our' is third person plural--they-- . So the sentence is wrong IMHO.

In plain and simple english; All our equipment come with a six (6) month warranty.

Na wao...ok you guys should put in pidgin english for better understanding..thats our mother tongue...lol

The sentence seems prim and proper to me. I also see no reason to water down the grammatical structure employed in the construction. Oga, carry go, jare
Amos Tutuola said so.

The sentence is PERFECTLY Okay.

'a six month' is correct. It's just like saying 'a six day power packed crusade'. So long as there is the indefinate article 'a', using the plural form of 'month' will grammatically and semantically alter the meaning of the sentence. Without it, six months would be correct; so nothing is wrong with the sentence.

It is okay.

yamakuza: 6 months, not month.

Equipment is an Uncountable Noun, and has no plural form.

in dis context,its '6-month',and not '6 months'. A 6-month warranty.

Its just semantics. I think it would be precise and less ambiguous if you say 'All our equipment carry a six (6) month manufacturer's warranty'

I'm very comfortable reciting the above sentence.

0. Lord_Reed(m):
All our equipment have a six (6) month manufacturer's warranty.

Is there anything wrong with the above sentence?


Well it depends. If all your equipment were made by the same manufacturer, then it's okay.

However, if they were made by different manufacturers, then your sentence should be " All our equipment have a six (6) month manufacturers' warranty".

Just my two cents. Ciao

It's perfectly correct..i stand2 b supported not disputed!
Simple!

don't bother to consult anything. The answer is 'no'. It doesn't have a plural form

I think I'll go with the first. The warranty does not originate with us.
