I bought a new trouser today (correct the sentence)​

Answer:

I bought a new pair of trousers today.

  • The word 'trousers' is a plural noun. So we never use 'a trousers' or 'trouser'.

trouser => wrong usage

'a pair of trousers' => correct usage.

  • Trousers are defined as a piece of clothing that covers the body from the waist downwards.
  • It covers each leg separately.
  • we use the plural form of the verb with 'trousers'.

For example, His trousers were/are short.

  • we use the singular form of the verb  with 'a pair of trousers'

For example, there is a new pair of trousers in his bag.
