✔ 最佳答案
family 這個名詞用is or are?
A family 一個家庭
Families 兩個或以上的家庭
Family 家人
所以 is 和 are 兩者皆可用, 要看你這個字的用法和解釋.
例句:
Almost every family in the village has a man in the army. 注意在這個family 字之後是單數動詞.
My family are early risers.在這句裡的 family 是指家人, 所以之後的那個動詞為複數.
以上兩句都是由 OXFORD ADVANCED LEARNER'S ENGLISH-CHINESE DICTIONARY. Revised 3rd Edition

如你說一個家庭 (a family), 你便應用 is.若你說兩個或以上家庭 (families) 或 family 所指的是家人, 你便應用 are 了.
