couple表示“一對夫妻”時,它若用作主語,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。例如:
The couple were sitting just behind me. 這對夫婦就坐在我的后面。?
如果 couple 表示若干對中的一對,即表示一個單位時,謂語動詞一個用單數(shù),例如:
Each couple was asked to complete a form. 要求每對夫婦填一張表。
And tonight's winning couple is George and Dorothy Lightfoot. 今晚獲勝的一對是喬治和多蘿西萊特福特。
“a couple of + ... + 復(fù)數(shù)名詞”作主語時,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。例如:
A couple of my friends plan to open a travel agency. 我的幾個朋友計劃開辦一個旅行社。(不能說:A couple of my friends plans ...)
下面一句的謂語動詞用單數(shù)或者復(fù)數(shù)都可以:
The young couple seems [seem] to be happy. 這對年輕人看起來很快樂。
