Good Morning,

Dear sir,


i have little bit doubt in english

Below mention two sentences

(1) how many total no of pieces are goes in negative stock ?

(2) how many total no of pieces are go in negative stock ?

Re: which sentence is correct ?

Firstly, can you tell us what you mean by 'negative stock'?

Re: which sentence is correct ?

when you do not have stock in side your computer software of the item and still when are u going to sell it it means negative stock

Re: which sentence is correct ?

What is the total number of items in negative stock?

Re: which sentence is correct ?

when you have started business of selling the goods.
than you have purchased one computer and one software for making the records for your inventory.

when you purchased the goods you add that quantity in your software.
same thing when you will sell it you will make negative it.

But some time you did not add the purchase and directly sell it that time


situation will create of negative stock of your inventory

Re: which sentence is correct ?

TOTAL NO OF PIECES MEANS WHEN YOU DID NOT PURCHASE 3 PCS AND SELL IT 4 PCS

THE SITUATION WILL CREATE TOTAL 4 NO OF PIECES WILL GOES IN NEGATIVE

TOTAL NO OF PIECES MEANS ANY TOTAL NO OF PIECES IN INVENTORY

Re: which sentence is correct ?

I gave you the correct wording of your sentence in my last response.

Re: which sentence is correct ?

NO I WANT TO HOLDING THIS MY WORDING AND I WANTED TO KNOW BELOW MENTION TWO SENTENCE WHICH ONE IS CORRECT

when will you give me i am waiting

it is urgent

which sentence IS correct ?

(1) how many total no of pieces are goes in negative stock ?

(2) how many total no of pieces are go in negative stock ?

Re: which sentence is correct ?

If I understand your sentence correctly, you want to ask how many pieces you are to enter in the "negative stock" field on your inventory software. To use your wording as much as possible, your sentence should be:

What is the total number of pieces that go in negative stock?

OR more simply: How many pieces go in negative stock?

If the sentence is asking how many pieces are ALREADY in negative stock, you would simply ask,

How many pieces are in negative stock?

OR: What is the total number of pieces in negative stock?


Hope this helps!

Re: which sentence is correct ?

Neither sentence is correct.

The previous poster did not answer your question 'as you asked' but did give you the proper wording for how your sentences should be written.

Re: which sentence is correct ?

Neither sentence is correct.

Depending on meaning, your options are:

1) How many total pieces are in negative stock? / What is the total no of pieces in negative stock? (How many pieces are already in negative stock now.)

2) How many pieces go into negative stock? / What is the total no of pieces that go into negative stock? (How many pieces are put into negative stock on a regular basis or as a result of a previous action.)

3) How many pieces are going into negative stock? / What is the total no of pieces going into negative stock? (How many pieces are being put into negative stock at this time.)



The point is that the meaning is confusing because the grammar in both of your original sentences is wrong. You cannot use an auxiliary verb before go/goes because go/goes is Simple Present, used when asking about a generalization, fact or routine. If you want to know what someone is going to do at this specific time, you should use the Progressive tense.


Also, you cannot use "How many number". You can use "How many pieces" or "What is the number".
