很榮幸能為您服務,若有任何疑慮請寫信給我,小弟自當盡力而為: a pair of shoes 的be動詞要用is, 例如: a pair of shoes "is" beautiful
那如果我要用代名詞來表示要用什麼來代替?
是: a pair of shoes is beautiful. "It" cost me 100 dollars.
還是: they cost me 100 dollars? a pair一雙、一對(由兩個組成的一個單位) 視為單數two pairs、three pairs、many pairs…(兩雙以上…) 視為複數<比較>The pair of shoes is beautiful. "It" cost me 100 dollars. à It = The pair (of shoes),cost為過去式動詞(若是現在式動詞則用costs) The shoes are beautiful. "They" cost me 100 dollars. àThey = The shoes 還有長度跟寬度是應該用is 還是用are?
<比較> 這條河寬10米、長300英里。(以第一句為佳,第二句次之)The river is 10 meters in width and 300 miles in length. à長度跟寬度都不是主詞,與動詞單複數無關,主詞是這條河,動詞用is The river is 10 meters wide and 300 miles long. à wide形容詞,修飾名詞10 meters,同理long用法一樣 The width and the length of the river are 10 meters and 300 miles.à主詞是這條河的寬度與長度(兩種) 視為複數,動詞用are 那如果是 the shoes is 30 "centimeter" 的 centimeter 要是複數形嗎?à只要不是剛剛好1公分(1 centimeter),其他都要加s 0.5 centimeters、1.8 centimeters、2 centimeters、12 centimetersà簡寫成cm或CM一律不加s,0.5 cm、1.8 CM……à本句應改成The shoes are 30 centimeters. ~供您參考並請指教~
