常見混淆

集合名詞

Couple、Family、Government、Audience 通常視為單數

但是，有時候要特定強調成員的概念的話，就可以看成複數

The family members are each doing a chore.

The + adj

看成複數

  • The rich => rich people

    The poor are going to protest in front of the City Hall today.

總結

搞清楚主詞可數不可數 / 單數複數，才能知道動詞變化

  • 名詞分為可數不可數
  • 可數名詞又分為單數及複數
  • 不可數名詞都視為單數
  • 所以在可數名詞單數及不可數名詞，後面動詞都要加 S
  • 群體及個別的概念，要按照句子語意來做區隔
