Are you stupid or something
In the script, Forrest Gump said “ we was always together. Jenny and me was like peas and carrots.” (Line 58), why “was” is used here instead of “were”
Maybe it’s because Forrest Gump uses it mistakenly due to his low IQ. Or maybe it is said so because Forrest Gump thinks he and Jenny are like one person.
