    4. Anon 12:4o tama si ano. 7:10 dahil it should be "do" dahil filipino family traditions... Traditions ang tinutukoy kaya "do" talaga. Pero ang mas focus ni fashion Pulis here ay yung jollibee store sa kaliwa.

      Delete
    5. tama si anon 12:40. "does" refers to "your family". unahan ko na rin. in case anyone argues that "your" can also be plural, in this sentence its singular form is being used. kung 'di niyo pa rin maintindihan at aapela pa rin kayo, please ask your english teacher for assistance.

    6. Korek si Anonymous 12:40 PM sa usapang grammar.

      Korek si Anonymous 10:40 AM kasi ang point ni FP is 'yung Jollibee sign sa kaliwa while this is a post for McDonald's.

      Yun lang. ^_^

      Please review your English 101 lessons! As Anonymous December 15, 2012 12:53 PM posted, it should be "does" because the subject of this interrogative sentence is "family."

    Replies
    1. "What Filipino Christmas traditions does your family observe every year?"

      There is no grammar error there. Subject is family (singular)
      Does - used for singular nouns or pronouns

      Examples:

      My family does observe Christmas traditions every year.

      He does go to school everyday.

    6. I agree. "do" dapat yun.

    8. correct, 3:04 am.

    9. 3:04, wag mo ipilit ang mali. Ask mo mga English guru, they wil tell you that you're wrong! "filipino christmas traditions" is not the subject. Remember it's in question form.

      Delete
    10. Subject = Christmas Traditions. Dapat DO. Alamin nyo muna kung ano ang subject bago kayo mag-react. Eto na lang, ang subject ay yung pinag-uusapan (kaya nga subject di ba). O ano ba ang pinag-uusapan sa sentence na 'to, di ba Christmas TraditionS, bakit nyo naman naisip na family? Ngayong alam nyo na ang subject, itama nyo na ang verb = DO. Okay na tayo?

      Delete
    11. Anon 2:06 AM, iniba mo ang sentence construction e. Let's stick to the original sentence that was used "What Filipino Christmas traditions does your family observe every year?" Magsa-sample din ako para mas maintindihan mo.

      Palitan natin ng YOU ang YOUR FAMILY. We both agree that FAMILY is singular di ba, at ang YOU ay singular din. So if you replace YOUR FAMILY ng simpleng YOU sa original sentence, eto ang lalabas = "What Filipino Christmas traditions does YOU observe every year?" Sakit sa tenga! Kasi nga, ang subject ay Family TraditionS, hindi Family. Yung DO or DOES na pinagtatalunan natin dito ay para sa Christmas TraditionS, hindi para sa Family. Sana maliwanag na ang eksplanasyon ko para sa mga nalilito.

    12. Yuck, Anonymous December 14, 2012 2:59 PM. You are getting things wrong. Eto ang mga samples:

      (Your girlfriend GOES to Ricky Reyes and David's Salon.)

      What colors DOES Mike Lim likes to paint with?
      (Mike Lim LIKES to paint with red, green and red.)

    13. Ate Anonymous 2:59 PM, maling mali yung pagda-dissect mo ng sentence structure. Sayang ang effort. More importantly, sayang ang utak!

      Delete
    14. Anon 2:59. This is already getting out of hand. I want to share my own analysis, okay?:

      First of all, YOU is a pronoun, can be both Singular and Plural.

      Examples:
      Singular
      You (Peter) are my cousin.
      Peter is my cousin.

      Plural
      You (Beth and Michelle) are my cousins.
      Beth and Michelle are my cousins.

      Let's go back to the question aka interrogative sentence:
      What Filipino Christmas traditions does your family observe every year?

      Let us now answer that question so we turn it into a declarative sentence aka statement:
      My family goes to midnight mass and prepares/eats our noche buena as our Christmas traditions.

      Question: What is the subject? Is it Family or Christmas traditions?

      Remember: The subject is what (or whom) the sentence is about, while the predicate tells something about the subject
      To determine the subject of a sentence, first isolate the verb and then make a question by placing "who?" or "what?" before it -- the answer is the subject.

      Ex: My family goes to midnight mass and prepares/eats our noche buena as our Christmas traditions.

      The verbs in the above sentence are "goes, prepares and eats." Who goes, prepares and eats? My family DOES.
      Hence, "The family" - is the Subject of the sentence.

      The predicate (which always includes the verb) goes on to relate something about the subject.
      Hence, "goes to midnight mass and prepares/eats our noche buena as our Christmas traditions" - is the Predicate.

      So let's turn it into question:
      Statement: My family goes to midnight mass and prepares/eats our noche buena as our Filipino Christmas traditions.
      Question form: What Filipino Christmas traditions DOES your family observe every year?
      Verdict: There is no error in grammar in the question in the Mcdo post.

      Understood na po ba? I really hope so. Thank you for your time and interest in learning proper grammar.

      Delete
    15. your explanation is correct... your verdict is just wrong..
      the subject is not "family" alone, the whole subject is Filipino Christmas Traditions - and it is called a SUBJECT PHRASE.

      dont compare the 'question form' to the 'statement' you made. completely different point of comparison, in short, there's no sense at all.

      eto ang tanong ko sayo ngayon... if Filipino is the only subject, anong tawag mo dun sa christmas traditions?

      these are also correct:
      What Christmas tradition of the Filipinos DOES your family observe...
      What Filipino foods DO your family prepare...


      and why do you need to cite 'you' as an example? hindi naman kelangan.

    18. guys! have you ever heard of inverted sentences? kaya tama ang does coz it pertains sa word na family not sa traditions. hindi lahat ng SUBJECT nauuna sa sentence

      Delete
    19. Haha. You people are funny. Tama na yung grammar. Kung gusto nyo i-type nyo sa word file ang sentence using "does" and "do". The word file will show na "does" yung walang error. Complete na explanation ni Anon 4:57. Kung simpleng logic, alin o sino ba ang magda-"does" (in short gagawa, hahaha), yung traditions or your family. Syempre yung family which is singular.

    The Filipino Christmas traditions that my family DO observe every year ARE...

    which is fucking wrong!

    plangak, bagsak lang ang mga try-hard sa English nito. Hahaha

    2. its fucking wrong talaga! kasi you dont need to put DO in the sentence you made. mas plangak ka.

      why would you invert the question? i mean, do you really need to invert a sentence just to check the grammar? in the first place, the original question can be answered in a lot of ways!

      ulitin natin ah, tanggalin ang DO, kasi hindi naman talaga kelangan..
      The Filipino Christmas Traditions that my family observe are this and that. Ikaw na mismo ang nagsabi na plural ang subject by putting ARE.. right? right? the subject here btw is the Filipino Christmas Traditions.

      will i tell you to go back to elementary? yes, definitely, but not in the same school you had before, mali mali tinuturo don eh.

    3. Ate Anonymous December 15, 2012 12:05 AM...

      MY FAMILY is SINGULAR. So dapat DOES (or in your example,t he verb should be OBSERVES). Ang plural form is FAMILIES. Now that's the time DO is used.

      Favor naman Mr. Mike Lim... pakisabi sa lahat na walang mali sa grammar sa post ng McDonalds. I know you know the right answer. Marami kasi sa mga readers mo ang umaarteng magaling. Sorry. But they gross out even the dirt poor.

    when some crazy people here considered the "Filipino" as the only subject... by that they also rendered "Christmas Traditions" as useless right? hence, the phrase can be omitted, right? Yes, as people here only consider Filipino as the sole subject, Christmas Traditions can be dropped. It can be dropped. It can be dropped for the benefit of the discussion also.

    ngayon, ano ang gustong itanong ng Mc Do with Filipino as the only subject?

    What Filipino does your family observe every year? (nevermind the "what" since people here are so fascinated with SV agreement)
