"Dlaczego zostawiasz nożyczki na stole?"

Translation: Why are you leaving the scissors on the table?

Surely "Why are you leaving scissors on the table?" should also be correct. That is certainly very natural English.

[ZoeyPajers]

But doesn't that mean that there us more than one scissor?

[vanessa1960]

I think I would then say "Why have you left all the scissors on the table?"

[vanessa1960]

yep, I would say either as a native speaker...

[Jellei]

"Why are you leaving scissors on the table?" is accepted, and frankly, the Polish sentence doesn't specify whether it's one pair of scissors or ten of them.

[vanessa1960]

True! It's easier when you are in the situation and can see the scissors!!

I put the answer exactly as it came up in the 'correction', so you would have lost a heart either way. Disheartening...
