there were|no 後面是單數還是複數

心理 閱讀(1.14W)
there were no 後面是單數還是複數

例句:

There was no water in the glass.

There were no students in the classroom.

看主語是否可數,不可數Water,則用was

可數,students,用were

there is no後面接單數

例:

There is no money.沒有錢了

不可數名詞,單數。

There are no apples.

可數名字,複數。

當no作爲限定詞時,它後面可以接可數名詞或不可數名詞。

通常情況下,當no後面接可數名詞時,該名詞使用複數,特別是當涉及到"there are…", "……has…"這樣的句型時

比如:

(1) It was early December and there were no leaves on the trees.

(2) The room has no windows.

(3) No road accidents were reported in Chelsea throughout August.

但是在一些情況下,no後面的可數名詞也可以使用單數,而是否使用單數的關鍵在於說話者認爲這個名詞屬於單數還是複數

比如:

I have no wife.

這裏wife雖然是可數名詞,但是句子一般不能寫成:I have no wives. 因爲通常情況下一個人只有一個妻子。

又比如:

He must lead a lonely life in that village: he has no wife and no children.

這裏用no children比用no child要更加自然
