How many years was spent in building the tower?
问题描述:
How many years was spent in building the tower?
就是不理解为什么陈述句时就这样用,而问句就不这样用了?
Two years was spent in building the tower.
How many years were spent in building the tower?
我是问谓语单复数的用法
答
Two years 看作一个整体,所以用单数,同类的还有比如100元钱等,都看作单数使用.
问句中,问多少年,强调的是数量,问几个年头,所以用复数.
