标题: The airline's board of directors 的谓语是用单数还是复数？ [打印本页] 作者: msqjz501 时间: 2010-5-5 10:22 标题: The airline's board of directors 的谓语是用单数还是复数？ 如题 The airline's board of directors 的谓语是用单数还是复数？A OF B 结构，中心词是A，即中心词是the airline's board A’s C 结构的中心词是C，所以中心词是board。 综上所述，The airline's board of directors 的谓语应该用单数，对吗？ 如果要用代词指代The airline's board of directors 应该用哪个代词呢？
原题如下： Having finally reached a tentative labor agreement with its company's pilots, it must now be determined by the airline's board of directors how the airline can both increase profits and compete more effectively for customers than they did in the past. A.it must now be determined by the airline's board of directors how the airline can both increase profits and compete more effectively for customers than they did in the past. B.it must now be determined by the airline's board of directors how the airline can both increase profits and must compete more effectively than in the past for customers. C.the airline's board of directors must now determine both how ti make the airline increase profits and compete more effectively for customers than they did in the past D.the airline's board of directors must now determine how the airline can both increase profits and compete more effectively for customers than it did in the past E.the airline's board of directors must now determine how the airline can both increase profits and also how to make it compete more effectively than in the past for customers 答案D。 D中的 it 是指代the airline 。 我的问题是由此题联想到的。。。。大家看看我上面分析的对不对？谢谢各位。作者: msqjz501 时间: 2010-5-5 11:24

如果后面+THAT那就是复数 如果没那就应该是单数吧~。俺自己认为的而已- - 欢迎批斗!作者: myungryong 时间: 2010-5-5 13:57
A of B 当中谓语动词由A来决定 但A表示百分比的时候由B决定谓语动词 至于代词不同的题不一样 不能确定作者: miller811 时间: 2010-5-5 14:22
The airline's board of directors 有THE，所以应该用单数谓语吧作者: GraceZhou 时间: 2010-5-5 16:17
以“The airline's board of directors ”为S的句子，V应该用单数；但是如果后面跟修饰directors的从句，从句谓语应该用复数；所以做题时应该分清是主句谓语还是从句谓语
楼主应该把题目一起发上来呵呵

我觉得，board of directors 是董事会的意思，类似与固定搭配，不应该把The airline's board of directors 看成是A of B 的结构。既然是董事会，一个机构，前面又有 the ，那就应该用单数的谓语。个人见解~
