Why Does My Tongue Feel Sore After Throwing Up

you say "a queen", "a person" or "candidate"? Too and enough

Each year, at the time of National Beauty Pageant of Cartagena, on the news we hear expressions like: "The candidates twenty-one arrived Monday to Cartagena." If one of the people who use these expressions wrong, we make the question of title, no doubt respond: "" Of course not. The right thing would be a queen, a person "."

So it is not right that people twenty-one or queens twenty-one twenty-one candidates, but twenty-one people twenty-one queens twenty-one candidates.
The masculine form of a is apocope (termination or lost) when he goes before a singular masculine noun (a man), but not when it precedes a feminine noun (a woman). The male form one apocope also when part of a numeral adjectives or other words that precede a masculine noun ( twenty-one books), but not before feminine nouns ( twenty-one words). The only exception is when these adjectives precede a feminine noun that begins with year has tonic ( twenty-one eagles, twenty-one axes). In these cases the noun still belongs to the female gender ( twenty-one eagles). These nouns are preceded in the singular of the definite article (the eagle) in the plural are feminine plural article (the eagles).
By the way, also falls into error by eliminating the glide i: They are wrong, therefore, forms and twenty-one (the right thing is twenty-one), twenty-six (right is twenty-six)
