English - Staff 同employee

2007-02-13 2:12 am
would like someone help to clarify the grammar related to these two words:

staff - 一般情況下唔會有"s"因為已經係plural form
employee - 可以加"s"
以下係我既問題:
1) 咁 staff 後面應該用 are/have 定係 is/has?
2) Staff who requires to work on Sat 定係 Staff who ARE requireS to work on Sat

Thanks!

✔ 最佳答案
1)Staff之後可以接上單數或眾數,看你用staff是代表甚麼意思。若你是指全體員工,那麼就是用單數;若你是指一些員工,那就用眾數。
2)兩句都不正確,該寫成Staff who are required to work on Saturday...
首先,句子是被動型,因為不是員工自己要求去加班的。
其次,因為句子有個defining relative clause,所以不可能是全體的員工,並且staff要加眾數動詞。
