Jeans is or jeans are...

Asked by lovethoselabs over 3 years ago, 4 answers.

Which is the correct way of responding to May I wear jeans? Yes, jeans are fine or Yes, jeans is fine? Initial thought was using are, but in this sense jeans is in the singular form...stumped...??

Jeans are because you don't have a jean, you have jeans, they are plural there for ARE is ued as opposed to Is for a single object

AKA the mouse is in the corner, versis the mice are in the corner

When people say jeans, they are referring to TWO jean-pantlegs, but you don't only wear one jean pantleg do you? So, the way to refer to jeans is always plural, just like how you say I bought a pair of pants rather that pant.
