✔ 最佳答案
根據小弟的印象

Family一詞並沒有指定跟was或were的
was/were的使用是根據情況而定

當Family是用作一個Group noun
即是將家人都視作一個單位「家」的時候
此字為單數Singular
後面跟is/was/has/etc
e.g. My family is a large one.

假若當Family是解作「家人」
代表家庭裏的成員時
Family則可以是一個複數Pural
此時後面可跟are/have/etc
e.g. My family are having a meal in the restaurant.

不知是否正確
請指教

換句話說用was/were得視乎閣下將Family「視為一個整體」還是考慮到Family中的每個個體see if you are referring to all the INDIVIDUAL members or you are referring to it as a GROUP

Strictly speaking用was應該是一個較保險的做法

應該係睇用來指一個家 定係家人,

同樣帶出了 Family 要用 has / have,

如果咁講大家都會有印象見過 My family have ... / My family have been ...

family 是用 was !一定不會錯的

It should use was.... because family is singular word!
參考: me
2007-04-24 6:05 am
was
因為當FAMILY係一個單位,所以係SINGULA,用WAS
2007-04-24 6:04 am
was..........
