Arun Visvanathan, No, it's not- it should be the Johnsons' since there are more than one of them. If there were one Johnson you wouldn't call them that either.

#9 "We're going to the Johnson's for dinner" is correct. It is short for "We're going to the Johnson's (house) for dinner".

Leslie Anthony, Would you say I met whom? That was the phrase after attorney, which was a direct object in that sentence. Thank you, Christine, James' wife

David Lee, I think number is used here as a collective noun, so a plural verb is necessary. A number of them are eating together. Thank you, Christine, James' wife
