there were three
Утром было три кусочка, а теперь один.
There were three pieces this morning, and now there’s only one.
А внутри трех мужчин было три пули.
And inside the three men there were three bullets.
— Однажды на Диком Западе (1968)
Теперь у нас было три заведения, и скоро должны были открыться новые.
By then, we had three locations, and more were due to open soon.
