知识点 2

Maintain agreement with collective nouns and indefinite pronouns where required.

核心知识

Agreement follows the grammatical number of the controlling word, even when nearby words try to distract you.

深入理解

Rule: Indefinite pronouns such as "each," "everybody," and "neither" are common ACT traps because they are singular even when they point to many people or things.

  • Collective nouns are similar. In standard American usage, a group acting as one unit usually takes a singular verb.
