[文法] "a great deal of" 和 "great deals of"
事實上這個問題是從GMAT的分析寫作Official Guide高分例文來的:
原句: A great deal of human resources have been wasted by Yugo owners
waiting for the dreaded tow truck to show up to haul away
the Yugo carcass.
我把這句話貼到Word，發現它的文法偵測到錯誤:
應該是: "A great deal of human resources has been..."
或是: "Great deals of human resources have been..."
我自己在Google上的搜尋發現很多種用法都有
加上如果大家知道GMAT考試本身對用字斟酌的程度，我不太知道到底怎樣算對:
我自己大概歸納問題點如以下:
1. "deal"或"deals"的單複數取決於human resources嗎?還是"a great deal"
是固定用法? 那"Great deals"是否正確?
2. 動詞(has/have been)的單複數視deal而定?或是視human resources而定?
請解惑，感恩！
