Question

The old man has three son- in- laws. Correct this sentence

Answer 1

The old man has three sons -in-law.

Answer 2

The corrected sentence is :

The old man has three sons- in- law.

Explanation :

• Sons-in-law is the plural form of the word Son-in-law.

• Often, many people thinks that 'Son-in-laws' is the correct answer. No, that's a blunder.

• in-law is a relation and the relation can never become plural.

• So, the word remaining is Son. It is easy as we know that the plural of son is sons. So, Sons-in-law states that the person have more than one daughter and each have a husband, atleast two of them. Or else, the person might have a daughter who have more than one husband.

• Other such words are daughters-in-law, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, etc.
