　　Step Ⅲ. Grammar

　　T:Well done.Now,please look at the sentences on the screen.Pay attention to the underlined part in each sentence and find the rules of them.

　　(Show the following on the screen.)

　　1.The story was so interesting that I couldn't help laughing.

　　2.They are working on the farm.

　　3.There are many people in the meeting room.

　　4.The police are looking for the lost child.

　　5.The cattle are eating grass in the field.

　　6.My family is a big one.

　　7.My family are watching TV.

　　T:Who'd like to say the rules of these underlined parts?

　　S2:Let me try.Singular nouns are often used with singular verbs.Plural nouns are used with plural verbs.The sentences 1 and 2 are examples.Some collective nouns,such as people,police,cattle,have no singular form and can only be with plural verbs.Such are sentences 3,4 and 5.But I don't know why different verbs are used in the sixth sentence and the seventh one.

　　T:It doesn't matter.Sit down,please.Who knows?

　　Ss:Sorry.We don't know.

　　T:Well.I'll eXPlain that to you.Besides the collective nouns you just referred to,there are other collective nouns,such as family,group,team,army,class,government.But these nouns can have a singular or plural verb.If the noun refers to the individual member of a unit,the verb is plural.If it refers to a whole unit,the verb is singular.In the sixth sentence,the noun“my family”refers to a whole unit,so the verb is singular.In the seventh sentence,“my family”here refers to the individual member of a unit,so the verb is plural.Is that clear?

　　Ss:Yes.

　　T:Now,look at another two examples on the Bb.

　　The boys' team has some good players,but the girls' is a better team.

　　My dog team weren't with me to pull my sled.

　　(Teacher asks two students to eXPlain them.)
