Question

The evenings are hot and sticky..
why use "eveings" ? can we say this sentence like "the evening is hot and sticky" ? what's the difference between the two sentence..  does the second wrong ?  does "evenings" means ""not only one evening is hot and sticky,it continued for a long summer"" ??

Answer

"The evenings are hot and sticky" only makes sense to me if you're talking about several nights.  When I read this, I get the sense that the speaker is talking about the normal wheather in a specific place, for instance:

"In my country, the evenings are hot and sticky."

The other sentence "the evening is hot and sticky" is correct, but is talking about something different: a single night.
