问题描述
Their_______ (hobby) are playing basketball.
答案是 hobbies.我认为这个题目出得不对!动名词作表语,而且说的是一件事情,不是两件以上事情,表语应该是单数 is, 您认为呢?
老师答疑
刘老师:
我完全同意你的看法,你的质疑是对的!
又如:
1. Her hobbies are music, reading and handicraft. 她的爱好是音乐、读书和手工。
2. Other favorite hobbies are reading and singing. 我其它的爱好是读书和唱歌。
4. My hobbies are playing bridge, tennis and stamp-collection. 我的爱好是玩桥牌、打网球和集邮。
4. My hobbies are hiking, fishing and climbing the mountains.我的嗜好是远足、钓鱼和爬山。
(以上例句,hobbies是复数,表语都是两个或两个以上的爱好)
5. His hobby is collecting butterfly specimens. 他的业余爱好是采集蝴蝶标本。
6. My hobby is collecting stamps. Do you have a hobby? 我爱好集邮,你有爱好吗?
7. My chief hobby is reading English novels. 我的主要嗜好是阅读英语小说。
8. Her hobby is collecting ancient coins. 她的嗜好是收集古币。
(以上例句,hobby是单数,表语只有一种爱好)
黎老师:
同意你的看法。题目应该改为:Their_______ (hobby) is playing basketball. 答案是hobby
例如:My hobby is playing cards.(摘自外研社、建宏《英汉多功能词典》)
Her hobbies are reading, swimming, and playing the piano.她的业余爱好是看书、游泳、弹钢琴。(摘自Longman Dictionary of American English)
