主谓一致精讲精炼02 5.名词化的形容词作主语如果主语由“the+形容词(或过去分词)”结构担任时,谓语通常用复数,这类词有the brave,the poor,the rich,the blind,the young,the old,the sick,the dead,the deaf and dumb,the oppressed,the injured,the wounded,the unemployed等;但也有少数的过去分词与定冠词连用时指个别,则用单数。如:the blind study in special schools.盲人在特殊的学校学习。这类形容词或分词如果要表示个体时,就要与名词man,person或表示人的单数名词连用,如:an old man,a rich person,the(a)wounded soldier。
