问题描述：
His family haven't heard from him for a long time.
可不可以用His family hasn't heard from him for a long time
什么时候family作集体名词什么时候作个体名词
答
不可以.在这里是家人的意思.作为家人时是集体名词,作为家庭时是个体名词.
答
好的
答
family为集体名词,依据在句子中所强调的概念不同,相应谓语动词的单复形式不同.
1)当强调"家庭"这个整体时,谓语动词用单数.
2)当强调"家庭成员"个体时,谓语动词用复数.
His family haven't heard from him for a long time. 可以改写成
His family hasn't heard from him for a long time
只是此时强调重点不同.
答
不能.这里的family是做家人讲的. 通常family做家人讲时是复数,做家庭讲时(此时是整体)是单数!
答
翻译成家庭的时候,是单数概念
翻译成家人的时候,是复数概念
