Pluralization question

Rails
1

Is there a way to pluralize the have/has section of a sentence easily?

2

Disclaimer: english isn’t my best subject.

Have and has don’t have a plural, it depends on the target

I have
You have
We have
She has
He has

3

Talking more like “You have X work/works that (have/has) been created”

Sure, just test the value of X.

If you’re using gettext for i18n, look at the various methods named
things like n_.

…which you may not want to use if i18n is going to happen.

However, you should be able to give the inflector a new special case (if
it doesn’t already handle this correctly) where ‘has’ is singular and
‘have’ is plural.
