主谓语一致
Grammar: Subject- verb agreement
集体名词表示由个体组成的集体,指一群人或某一事物的总称。集体名词作主语时谓语的单复数问题,可以归纳为以下三类:
Grammar: Subject- verb agreement

The police were after him.
人们开始谈论她。
People are beginning to talk about her.
牛以草为食。
Cattle feed on grass.
1) 有的集体名词通常表示复数含义,作主语时谓语通常用复数形式,比如 police / people / cattle等。例如:
Grammar: Subject- verb agreement
2) 有的集体名词通常只用作不可数名词,表示单数意义,用作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式,比如 clothing / poetry / luggage / furniture / machinery / scenery / jewellery, equipment 等。例如:
我们的衣服可以御寒。
Our clothing protects us against the cold.
Grammar: Subject- verb agreement

Grammar: Subject- verb agreement

3) 有的集体名词作主语时,谓语动词可用单数形式,也可用复数形式。若视为整体,谓语动词用单数形式;强调集体中的各个成员时,谓语动词用复数形式,
比如 family / team / class / crowd / government / club / committee / audience / public 等。例如:
Grammar: Subject- verb agreement
她的家人都很高。
Her family are all tall.
这个队是联赛中最好的。
The team is the best in the league.
