Plural Agreement

if you were to say, "I am going to be your waiter" (assuming it's more than one person), would you say, "Voy a ser sus mesero" ? The sus just sounds a little weird when mesero is singular, so I just want to double check. Thanks!

Que os parece ' Seré su mesero para la tarde' ? Supongo que es un poco más formal usar el futuro en vez de usar el futuro parafrástico ( voy a ........), y con respeto a la concordancia de plural, aunque ellos son plural el sujeto (tu, el mesero) es singular por eso se usa -su- a pesar de ellos siendo más que uno/a.

I would use the future tense but we have not learned it yet. - 20003425-, Apr 17, 2010
