What is the correct way to write this sentence?

Question

I did not know what Lego’s were.
or
I did not know what Lego’s where.

ALSO...
They would run around screaming “duck, duck, goose!” or
They would run around screaming “duck, duck, Goose!”


This is a serious question that I need answered for writing a paper. thanks for your help.

Answer 1

I did not know what LEGOs were.
They would run around screaming, "Duck, duck, goose!"
you need to capitalize that first "duck" b/c it's the first word in the sentence.

Answer 2

Okay. Unless the item after Lego belongs to the Lego, it's Legos.

As in, The Lego's bucket is under the sofa.

So that one is: I did not know what Legos were.

And the second one, you are calling the participants in the game names, Duck and Goose, so that one is:
They would run around screaming, "Duck, Duck, Goose!"

Hope that helps.

Answer 3

NONE of them are correct..

In the first set, neither set should have an apostrophe (')
but the first one was more correct.

CORRECT: I did not know what Legos were.

In the second set, you need a comma after screaming to separate the quote from the speaker and capitalize the first word in the quote.

CORRECT: They would run around screaming, “Duck, duck, goose!”

Answer 4

Regarding the first sentence:

I did not know what Lego’s were.
or
I did not know what Lego’s where.

..."where" is for location; "were" is past tense plural for the verb "to be".
Both are incorrect since the apostrophe is used only for contractions or possessive. This sentence is neither; so the correct sentence is:

"I did not know what Legos were."

ALSO...
They would run around screaming “duck, duck, goose!” or
They would run around screaming “duck, duck, Goose!”

There's no point in capitalizing Goose since it's not a proper noun; it's just a noun. (Note use of apostrophes for contraction here)

Correct:
They would run around screaming “duck, duck, goose!”

Answer 5

I did not know what Legos were. I do not believe that it should be Lego's as it is not possessive, it is plural.

They would run around screaming "duck, duck, goose!"

Answer 6

1. I did not know what Legos were.
2. They would run around screaming, "duck, duck, goose!"

Answer 7

Actually, I read on a Lego site that the plural of Lego is actually Lego. One of those weird ones, like duck or moose.

And as it's the name of a game, you should capitalize all three words, and say Duck Duck Goose.

Answer 8

I did not know what Legos were. They would run around screaming "duck,duck,goose!"

Answer 9

I did not know what Lego’s were.

They would run around screaming “duck, duck, goose!”

Answer 10

They would run around screaming “duck, duck, Goose!”
