Граматичний матеріал: Іменник. Однина і множина іменника.
These words are plural, so they take a plural verb: • My trousers are too long. (not my trousers is) You can also use a pair of + these words: • Those are nice jeans. or That's a nice pair of jeans. (not a nice jeans) • I need some new glasses. or I need a new pair of glasses.
Some nouns end in -ics, but are not usually plural. For example: athletics economics electronics gymnastics maths (= mathematics) physics politics • Gymnastics is my favourite sport. (not Gymnastics are) News is not plural: • What time is the news on television? (not are the news) Some words ending in -s can be singular or plural. For example: means a means of transport many means of transport series a television series two television series species a species of bird 200 species of bird
Some singular nouns are often used with a plural verb. For example: audience committee company family firm government staff team These nouns are all groups of people. We often think of them as a number of people (= they), not as one thing (= it). So we often use a plural verb: • The government (= they) want to increase taxes. • The staff at the school (= they) are not happy with their new working conditions. In the same way, we often use a plural verb after the name of a sports team or a company: • Italy are playing Brazil next week (in a football match). • Shell have increased the price of petrol. A singular verb (The government wants ... / Shell has ... etc.) is also possible. We use a plural verb with police: • The police are investigating the murder, but haven't arrested anyone yet. (not The police is ... hasn't) Note that we say a police officer / a policeman / a policewoman (not a police).
We do not often use the plural of person ('persons'). We normally use people (a plural word): • He's a nice person. but They are nice people. (not nice persons) • Many people don't have enough to eat. (not Many people doesn't)
We think of a sum of money, a period of time, a distance etc. as one thing. So we use a singular verb: • Twenty thousand pounds (= it) was stolen in the robbery. (not were stolen) • Three years (= it) is a long time to be without a job. (not Three years are) • Six miles is a long way to walk every day.
