band作主语时的主谓一致

The band _____ still as innovative a force in British music as they were when they started.

这道题是填 is 还是 are？为什么？

band在此表示“乐队”，为集合名词。这样用的 band 用作主语时，其谓语动词可用单数（视为整体）或复数（考虑其个体）。即你的句子用 is 或 are 都可以。

1. 主谓一致用单数谓语的例句：

The band is playing live in Birmingham tonight. 今晚乐队将在伯明翰现场演出。

The band is currently on tour in the States. 乐队目前正在美国进行巡回演出。

The band is back in the US recording their new album. 乐队回美国录制新专辑去了。

2. 主谓一致用复数谓语的例句：

The band are on (= performing) in ten minutes. 乐队再过十分钟开始演奏。

There are rumours that the band are breaking up. 有传闻说乐队要散伙。

The band are putting the finishing touches to their new album. 这支乐队在为自己的新专辑作最后的加工。

原题句意：The band are still as innovative a force in British music as they were when they started. 这支乐队一如他们刚刚组建时那样是英国音乐界的一支创新力量。
