Correct sentences:

  • There are three buffaloes, and they have six horns.
  • The three buffaloes have six horns.
  • Three buffalo have six horns. (You can also say "buffalo" as the plural.)

Why these are correct (easy steps):

  1. "Three buffaloes" is more than one, so we must use are (not is).
  2. For more than one animal we use the pronoun they, not it.
  3. Both "buffaloes" and "buffalo" can be used as the plural form.

Quick tip: If you are talking about more than one thing, use "are" and "they."
