Which is correct for plural in this sentence?
This came up at work. I know what i would say, however a co-worker is doing it differently. I want to confirm which of us is using correct grammar. And which of us is using incorrect grammar. Thank you.
Yes, basically i want to see which of us is right. However this is not just me being picky. An element in our performance rating at work actually includes specifically using correct grammar. Just like we are dinged if there are complaints, we are also dinged if there are grammar errors in our official communication at work, including emails we send.
When we on-board new hires, we send them two codes for logging in: an access code and a verify code. These are two different codes, that are entered by the user into two different fields. They type in these different two codes to log into our ABC patient records system which we use at work. So usage in this context is talking about "secret codes" (as in a password); and not talking about "computer code" (as in lines of code used by programmers).
We send the codes to them in an email. Which of these sentences is correct grammar?
"Here are log in codes for ABC system."
"Here is the log in codes for ABC system."

Oops. Hang on.
I don't think either is correct.
Should be "Here are the log in codes for the ABC system.

here are apples for you.
here are the apples for you.
both are correct grammar
sending out the codes, if i was going to put an article in front of codes, then i would put "your" (your codes) instead of "the" (the codes) since they differ from person to person. (think password) It would probably be more accurate to say "here are your login codes for ABC."

but both are correct grammar.
I don't think "Here are apples for you' sounds good. It might technically be acceptable.

Here are some apples for you sounds better.
Depends on the context.
