Plural x singular
Hi, there

Should I use the singular or plural for these sentences?

"Both French and German society/societies need reforming"
"American and British culture/cultures share similarities"

Which of THESE are right?

Thank you

Answer

In the first: "societies" as both societies stay relevant in the end of the statement.(both need Reforming/Reforms)
In the second: "cultures" as both are also relevant in the end (both share)

Hope I've helped you.
