How many ______ (家庭)are there in the village?

问题描述:

How many ______ (家庭)are there in the village?
这里家庭,应该用family 还是 families?为什么?

families
How many 是多少,后面名词用复数但是family是一个集体名词?书上说是“被看做整体时,做单数;若强调组成该集体的各个成员时,做复数”这个题不在这个规则中,只是我说的How many 是多少,后面名词用复数。你说的情况是下面这种:His family is very large.The family are having dinner now.
