EX: A, B and C, these are/is trivia that we should overlook when examining a brief.
"there"和"trivia"透过linking verb连接,两者的数相同,所以应该用"is", 但是"these"所代表的ABC却是复数,请问遇上这种情况该怎么办呢?
抱歉,应该是"these"才对⋯⋯那么如果是"there be"的形式呢?there is/are trivia that we should overlook when examining a brief?
追答如果没有abc的话, 而且是there be 句型,那么这句话应该是:
there is trivia that we should……
用 is, 因为trivia是不可数名词。
但是这样的话, 这句话就怪怪的,显得非常累赘。因为可以直接表述为:we should overlook the trivia
