2 -the party is o the party are?-
Nota d'usoI sostantivi come party nel senso di “partito politico” 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 party that wins the election, will inherit a huge public deficit, il partito che vincerà le elezioni erediterà un enorme debito pubblico. Se invece si pensa alle singole persone che fanno cose diverse all'interno del gruppo, si sceglie il plurale: The party, who are trying to change their image, have had a few setbacks recently, il partito, che sta cercando di cambiare la propria immagine, ultimamente ha avuto delle battute d'arresto. Si noti anche il cambiamento del pronome relativo: se il verbo è al singolare si usa which o that, mentre se il verbo è al plurale, poiché si pensa alle persone, si ricorre a who.English-Italian dictionary > -the party is o the party are?-
