Question

关于集体名词.急用..集体名词后接系动词用单数还是复数?我想要比较详细的解释,因为我毕竟不是很懂,所以提问起来比较困难,

Answer 1

1.people,police,youth等做主语是,谓语动词一律用复数

eg.the police are looking into the accident

2.AUDIENCE,CLASS,COMMITTEE,FAMILY,team,group做主语时,如果指一个整体,就用单数,指每一个成员,就用复数.

eg；The football team is being rebuilt.

3.sheep,deer,fish,means,species等单复同形的,如表示单数意义,就用单数,如表示复数的,就用复数.

eg：many means have been tried.

全自己打的啊~
