Somebody is waiting for you aren't they 是不是因为后面用了they 所以要用aren't而不是isn't
问题描述：
Somebody is waiting for you aren't they 是不是因为后面用了they 所以要用aren't而不是isn't
前面somebody 用的是is没有错 （因为somebody 就是表示三人称单数） 我理解是对的吗?
答
Somebody is waiting for you,aren't they
当不定代词作主语指人时,反意疑问部分的主语应用复数they.
当不定代词作主语指物时,反意疑问部分的主语应用单数 it.前面不能用isn't 是不是因为后面用的they 表示复数 ？与前面的is 没关系？陈述部分用everyone,everybody,somebody,someone,anybody,anyone,nobody,no one或no+复数名词做主语时，反意部分用they.陈述部分用everything,something,anything,nothing,反意部分用单数it.Somebody is waiting for you,aren't they?Everything is all right,isn't it?
