    which of these two cases is more likely to achieve the desired result:

    1. Omar, you was very prompt every time I've asked for information.
    I hope I will get the informations on time.
    2. Omar, you and your team have been very prompt every time I asked for information.
    I hope I will get the informations on time.

    In this case, the second example has the best potential of conviction in a collectivist society.

    opinion.
