Dear friends,
I have a question.I am from India.My teacher told me that we use dozen instead of dozen when a numeral precedes it.
1 one dozen bananas
2 half dozen bananas
But when we use one and a half dozen,we use dozens
3 one and a half dozens bananas
I doubt whether sentence 3 is correct.Can you please tell whether we use dozen or dozens with one and a half.
Also,I have seen many phrases like
4 two litre milk
5 two litres of milk
What is the difference between sentence 4 and 5 ? Which one is correct ?
Thanks
