here is my question, when you want to ask if they have something you want in a shop(t shirts,skirts,,,,or anything),you use plural,,,like " do you have skirts? do you have black t shirts? but when you already find something you want,but you want a bigger/smaller one,why do you use singular??
like,,"do you have a bigger/smaller one? i mean ,,why not "do you have bigger/smaller ones?"
and the clerks also use singular,,,like" we have a new one,,,
so,,,why singular?
