myfamily这个单词为什么是第三人称单数
Family有两个意思,作"家庭"时,表示家庭这个整体,是单数概念。做主语时,谓语动词用单数。
My family is very large.
我的家庭是个很大的家庭。(单数)
注意: Family,作"家庭"时,有复数形式,表示几个家庭。
There has been some bad feeling between the two families.
两家人之前有过节。(指两个家庭)
Some families stocked their cellars with food and water.
有些家庭在地窖里储备了食品和水。
Family,作"家人,家庭成员"时,是集合名词,表示复数概念。做主语时,谓语动词用复数。但family一词不用复数形式。
