a flock of...作主语时谓语动词用单数还是复数

来源:www.huirenyu.com 2024-06-04

请问专家:当 a flock of...用作主语时,其后的谓语动词用单数还是复数?

A flock ofwild geese _______ flying overhead.

A. was B. were


当 a flock of...用作主语时,其后的谓语动词用单数或复数都可以。

用单数——将它视为一个整体来考虑;

用复数——侧重考虑其中的个体。

例句:

A flock of birds hovers around the farm. 一群鸟绕着农场盘旋。(搭配词典)

A flock of geese were passing overhead. —群雁从头顶飞过。(韦氏高阶)

所以网友的这道题,选单数或复数均可以。
