Hi S,

The grammatically correct answer should be -

Ce sont la ville et le village de mes ancêtres

But you will hear ‘c’est la ville et le village ...’ in every day speech

It is one of the mistakes which are common place in every day French and I must admit that it doesn’t shock me at all!

Hope this helps!

« Basic question, in English we say "big brother", I was told "grand frère" was wrong and it should be "frère plus agé" or "vieux frère?? Thank you.""Tel est pris qui croyait prendre" »
