‘A pair of’ is used for two things that come together or used together. For example a pair of shoes, a pair of scissors etc.
A pair of:
When you talk about just one pair, you use ‘a pair of’ followed by the noun in the plural. This is because there are two objects that comprise a pair. But the verb following ‘a pair of …’ is always singular as we are talking about one pair.
Example: This pair of shoes is smart.
Example: Your pair of glasses is broken.
Example: The pair of diamond earrings is expensive.
In the above sentences, the nouns, shoes, glasses and earrings are in plural, but the verb in each of the sentences is singular.
‘Pairs of’:
When you talk about more than one pair, use ‘pairs’. The verb that follows ‘pairs of…’ is always plural as we are talking about multiple pairs of something.
Example: Several pairs of shoes are missing.
Example: Two pairs of spectacles are in the drawer.
Example: Five pairs of earrings cost a lot of money.
In the above sentences, the verbs-are and cost are in the plural as we are talking about many pairs of something.

I think you shouldn’t write the incorrect ways on the board. If students see them written they are more likely to get confused, and remember also the mistaken one.
😊💪🏻
I have a query, could you please make a tutorial on it. How to use ‘have had’ in a sentence. for eg: You may have had the idea first, but someone else did something about it.
“I have two pair of shoes” it’s correct…
Several pairs of shoes … It’s also correct, but two pairs of shoes is not correct
good work
Teacher who can’t spell. Nice. It’s ‘eaRRing’. You know, a compound noun: ear + ring.
Thank you so much for the lesson
can we say my glasses are broken
You are so lovely and doing very good job on youtube 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
