Question: Please help me with this grammar question! How do i word this!?
Should I say "Fireworks shows" or "Firework shows"!? I think it's "fireworks shows", but someone said that it is supposed to be just "firework shows", without the s!. Please answer if you are good at grammar!Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
Either is ok, Kind of!. Most people who fuss about grammar say keep your cases singular!.

Is it more than ONE firework Show !? if so then the plural would be Fireworks shows!.

"We went to three Fireworks Shows on the Fourth of July!." Plural!.

"I really wanted to see the Firework Show at St!. Augustine because it is so pretty!. " singular!.

Now consider this!. "Who is going to the Fireworks tonight!? without show, plural

The event is singular, the experience of attending can be plural!. Is confusing!.

Does that help!? Www@QuestionHome@Com

Not to add confusion, but I always thought it was Fireworks show - without the "S" at the end of show!. I'm sure no matter how you use it - the reader will get the point!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

"Fireworks shows" is correct if you mean multiple events during which fireworks are displayed!. At least that is how the AP style book would have the written media describe such happenings!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
