Hi everybody I am practicing writing a small paragraph. The topic is: In some countries, more and more people are becoming interested in finding out about the history of the house or building they live in. I am still confused about the grammatical points of sentence above. Below are some sentences: 1.finding out about the history of the house or building they live in. (the + singular form) 2.finding out about the history of house or building they live in. (without the article "the"+ singular form)) 3.finding out about the history of the houseS or buildingS they live in. (the + plural form) 4.finding out about the history of houseS or buildingS they live in. (without the article "the"+plural form)) Which sentence should I use, 1. If I would like to refer people who have only 1 house/ person 2. If I would like to refer people who have more than 2 houses/ person 3. If it doesn't matter that how many houses / person have ( may be 1 house, or 2, 3 houses...), I just want to say people having house in general. Many thanks in advance.

Hi hi!! Hope i can help with piecing these together: For this scenario: If I would like to refer people who have only 1 house/ person I would use the first option mainly because it is very straightforward and direct: finding out about the history of the house or building they live in. (the + singular form) For the second scenario: If I would like to refer people who have more than 2 houses/ person I would use: finding out about the history of the houseS or buildingS they live in. (the + plural form) And finally for the third i would also use: finding out about the history of the houseS or buildingS they live in. (the + plural form) Mainly because it encompasses all the scenarios above with the plural form. Hope you find this helpful ☺️
