Question

几个单词的填空
It is said that the family living on the fifth floor that---always quarrelling among---- ------ moving to the south.
分别填are ,themselves,is,请问为什么,这句话怎么个成分结构?floor 后面的that 是不是指的家庭?最后面为什么又变单数概念了?

Answer 1

It is said that the family living on the fifth floor that___always quarrelling among ___ ___moving to the south.
It is said that ...it 是形式主语； 后面的主语从句才是真正主语.
主语是一个句子,我们再来分析句子：注意主谓宾
主语是the family ,指家庭成员,是复数概念.
living on the fifth floor 是作 the family 的后置定语.
然后 that 引导一个定语从句,修饰 the family.因为前面说到是复数概念,因此用 are always quarrelling among themselve.(在他们之间吵架）,其中要填入 themselves 正证实了前面 the family 是复数概念.
that 后面的定语从句一直到 thmeselves.,再后面就是整个句子的谓语了.
然而这里意思说整个家庭都在转移到南方,可以把这个家庭看作一个整体,这时是单数概念.因此用 is.
因此,作这些题目,关键把握 集体名词在什么时候表示整体（用单数）,什么时候表示成员（用复数）.类似的还有 the police; the government; the company 等.
