24 -the council is o the council are?-
Nota d'usoI sostantivi come council sono chiamati collettivi perché indicano un gruppo di persone. In inglese possono essere seguiti dal verbo al singolare o al plurale, a seconda del contesto e di ciò che vuole esprimere chi parla. In generale, se si pensa al sostantivo in modo impersonale, si sceglie il singolare: The council is responsible for social services, il comune è responsabile dei servizi sociali. Se invece si pensa alle singole persone che fanno cose diverse all'interno del gruppo, si sceglie il plurale: The council, who were much criticised last year, have outsourced refuse collection, il comune, che l'anno scorso è stato molto criticato, ha dato in appalto la raccolta dei rifiuti. Si noti che quando il verbo è al singolare, un'eventuale proposizione relativa sarà introdotta da which o that, mentre se il verbo è al plurale, poiché si pensa alle persone, si ricorre a who.English-Italian dictionary > -the council is o the council are?-
