- 为什么有的集合名词后面加“is”有的又用“are”有什么规律吗
1. 表示“听众”、“观众”,是集合名词,
用作主语时,其谓语可用单数(视为整体时)或复数(视为个体时)。
如:The audience is [are]listening attentively. 听众都在聚精会神地听着。
The audience was [were] enjoying every minute of the performance. 观众对演出非常欣赏。
有时由于语义的需要,分别用单数或复数更合适。
如:The audience was enormous. 观众人很多。T
he audience are requested to be in their seats by 8:00. 观众要在八点前都入座。
2. 英语中到底有没有这种规则,就是主语和be动词后面的宾语(这里指主语的具体化)必须单复数统一?
有。这就是所谓的“主语系动词表语一致”。
What he bought were the books, the pens and some boxes.(用were不用was)
Who is your brother?
Who are your brothers?
但也有不一致的
We Chinese are a hard working people.(我们中国人是一个勤劳的民族)
The most important thing is the books.
怎么办?
得看句子意义,结构,强调决定的。
至于the majority后的单复数,
the majority表示“大多数”时,为集合名词;单独用作主语时,如果强调整体,谓语动词用单数形式;如果强调个体,谓语动词用复数形式。如:
The majority agree [agrees] with me. 大多数人同意我的意见。
The majority was [were] in favour of the proposal. 多数人赞成这个建议。
但是若单独用的 the majority后跟有复数表语,则谓语通常要用复数。如:
The majority are young people. 大多数是年轻人
按传统语法,the majority of只用于修饰可数名词复数或具有复数意义的集合名词,但在现代英语中也可用于修饰不可数名词。
D to make herself heard
to表示目的,让自己被听见,所以用heard
C was
audience是集体名词,后面跟单数,句子后面是was left所以用过去时,是was
B cost;spent
cost sb. an arm and a leg指很贵
spend。。。钱on sth
audience 听众,观众
从意思可以看出,audience是一个类似于family之类的集体名词,作主语时,谓语动词可以用三单式也可以不用。请看以下两例:
The audience is / are clearly delighted with the performance. (显然,观众对表演感到满意。)
A new family has / have moved in next door. (一个新家庭搬入了邻近的门。)
这里有一条语法规则:
集体名词family,audience, government, public, team, staff, population等做主语时,若作为一个整体看待,后面谓语动词用单数;如就其中每一个成员来考虑时,则用复数。
所以,答案是C:is和are都行。
audience 是整体概念,后面的group 又使用了复数概念。这是可以的。
再比如:population 是整体概念。 The population can be divided into two groups according to sex: the male group and the female group.
错。 audience做集体名词时,用单数。
The audience is an important factor when a play’s showing.
在一场戏上演的时候,观众尤其重要。
注意是is.
当audience看做一个一个个体时, 用复数。
如:The audience are cheering.
观众在欢呼。
注意用“are”。
集合名词audience的用法说明
1. audience是集合名词,用作主语时,其谓语可用单数(视为整体)或复数(视为个体)。
如: The audience is [are] listening attentively. 听众都在聚精会神地听着。
The audience was [were] enjoying every minute of the performance. 观众对演出非常欣赏。
The audience is [are] always very excited by a wonderful goal. 一个精彩的进球总会使观众们非常激动。
2. 由于audience 是集合名词,所以an audience 不是指“一个观众”,而是指某一群观众、某一个场次观众、某一方面的观众等。
如: She has never spoken to such a big audience before. 她以前从未向这么多人讲过话。
He loves holding forth on any subject once he has an audience. 不管是什么问题,只要有人听,他就爱大发议论。
同样地,audiences 也不是指“多个观众”,而是指多群观众,多个场次观众,多个方面的观众等。
Entertaining audiences is the purpose of movies. 娱乐观众是电影的目的。
The show had to be taken off because of poor audiences. 因观众太少而取消演出。
She has addressed audiences all over the country. 她曾向全国各地的听众演讲。 另外,audience作为集合名词,原则上不能用它表示个体,但every audience是例外,当要强调每一名观众时,可以这样用。如: The pianist made a conquest of every audience for which she played.
完全可以这样说,本句中 a group of 相当于量词修饰后面的名词。
audience在作为集合名词大多以单数形式出现,既可以表示单数意义,也可以表示复数意义。作为整体用做主语,谓语单数;考虑集体中的成员时,谓语用复数。
所以本句正确。
are.这里的audience比较强调个体,即观众正(一个一个的)入场
audience的确是集体名词,当强调观众这个整体的时候,后跟单数.
eg.the audience applaud to the musician.
集合名词作主语时,主谓一致关系是一个较为复杂的问题。对此类问题我们可以从“数”的角度分为四类。
1)单数—复数型。凡是有复数词尾变化形式的集合名词都属于此类。如:a class—classes; a family—families; a government—governments; an army—armies; a people—peoples; a group—groups; a crowd—crowds; a crew—crews等。这类集合名词强调的是整体性,即当作一个整体或多个整体来看待。属于这类集合名词的单数作主语时,谓语动词用单数;复数形式作主语时,谓语动词用复数。
【例如】
A big crowd often gathers on the square every morning.
The government has decided to pass the bill.
There are huge crowds in the streets on Sunday.
There are many English-speaking peoples in the world.
但应注意,这类集合名词的单数形式有时表示复数概念,所以这些集合名词的单数形式也可归为“单复同形型”中。
2)单数型。这类集合名词表示的是人或事物的整体,即把这类人或事物的全部包括在内,所以只有单数形式。如作主语,谓语动词常用单数。这类名词常见的有:humanity, mankind, proletariat等。
【例如】The proletariat is the greatest class in the history of mankind. In the fields of production and scientific experiment, mankind makes constant progress.
3)复数型。这类集合名词在形式和内容上是相互矛盾的,就是说它们只有单数形式,但表达的都是复数概念。它强调的是集体中的个体性。这类名词有:police, cattle, faculty, flock, machinery, vermin, personnel等。它们作主语时,谓语动词要用复数。
【例如】The police have caught the murder.
Our personnel are very highly trained.
The vermin are very dangerous.
4)单复同形型。这类集合名词的单数形式既可表示单数也可表示复数。作主语时,用单数动词或复数动词均可,有时意义区别不大。
【例如】The school teaching staff are (is) excellent.
The public is (are) requested not to litter in the park.
The teaching profession claim(s) to be badly paid.
这类集合名词常见的有:class, family, team, crew, board, herd, committee, party, jury, enemy, audience等。
根据说话人的心理意向若把这个集合名词所代表的人或事物看作一个整体,就认为是单数,用单数动词;若把它所代表的人或事物看作若干个个体的话,就认为其为复数,用复数动词。
试比较:The football team is playing well.
那个足球队打得非常漂亮。
The football team areshavingsbath and are then coming back here for tea.
足球队员们正在洗澡,然后来这里吃茶点。
The family is a very happy one.
那个家庭是一个非常幸福的家庭。
That family are very pleased about the news of William’s success.
全家人对威廉的成功都感到很高兴。
