group的用法:
当组成group的人或物被看成是一个集合体时,应用单数谓语动词;当组成group的人或物被看成是一个一个的个体时,应用复数谓语动词。
如:The dance group is ready for rehearsal.
The group were divided in their sympathies.
-----------------------------------------
a group of 和 the group of的结构都是成立的,其后用的动词单复数只与其表达的意思有关,而与哪一种结构无关。
那么,比如说A group of lawyers are sitting there.The group of lawyers are sitting there.对吗?还是The group of lawyers is sitting there.???
还有,麻烦斑竹能不能讲讲recommend 的用法,recommend that +虚拟语气可以吗?
