順口溜解釋
1. 集合名詞 group, family, class等作主語時(shí),如果強(qiáng)調(diào)整體,謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式,如果強(qiáng)調(diào)個(gè)體,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。但people, police, cattle作主語,謂語動詞常用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如:
Class One is likely to win.
Class One were all there when the door opened.
The police are looking for the lost child.
2. 主語為單數(shù)且后跟as well as, with, along with, together with, but, like, except等介詞(短語)時(shí),謂語動詞用單數(shù)。如:Kelly as well as the other students has learned how to type.
