I'm going to take a guess: If it's just "couple", it's singular; but if it's a couple OF something, it's plural. - loosilu Nov 18, 12:30 3
- I don't recall the terms but the two uses of "couple" there make them very different words by definition. noun vs. ? -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 12:36 2
  - "couple" can be both subject and modifier -- (link) - con_carne Nov 18, 12:47
  - I think it's always a noun. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 12:42
