I am not a native English speaker. Maybe the question is stupid...



Each consumer chooses one of the two options: (1) buying one unit; or (2) buying a second unit. When I want to say some consumers (plural) who choose the option (1) or option (2) will do something, is it correct to say: Those who buy one unit will blablabla..., and those who buy a second unit will blablabla...



It is indeed correct to say: someone who buys one unit will blabla..., and someone who buys a second unit will blablabla.... When aggregating multiple consumers, should the "unit" also be aggregated as plurals or not?



Thanks!

    He who buys one unit .... Those who buy one unit.... Those who buy several units....He who buys a second unit....Those who buy a second unit.....Those who buy several units. A second unit is always one unit. Several units are... well several units, plural.

  • Your sentence is not grammatical. If there are two options, and the first option is "buying 1 unit", then the second option is "buying 2 units' NOT "buying a second unit" (because you cannot buy a second unit until you have already bought 1 unit). What about "If you buy 1 unit, you will ..., but if you buy 2 or more units, you will ...". Or the second part could be "... if you buy at least 2 units ...".

If I understand what you're asking, I might call option 2 a package, or package deal, then you just have people who purchase a unit vs people who purchase a package.



Then you can:
People who purchased a unit will...
People who purchased a package will...



Other option to to say "people who purchased multiple (or two) units".
