Question 问
"Most of the equipment was/were defective."哪一个是正确的?
Answer 答
Equipment is a noncount noun which means that it has no plural form. Even when it refers to more than one thing, it is still grammatically singular, so you should use a singular verb:
Equipment是一个不可数名词，意思是它没有复数形式。即使它指的是多个事物，它在语法上仍然是单数，所以你应该使用单数动词:
· Most of the equipment was defective.
· 大部分设备都有缺陷。
Equipment is like other noncount nouns such as homework, rice, and clothing. Many pieces of equipment are considered as a unit. Equipments is not a word.
Equipment就像其他不可数名词，如家庭作业、大米和衣服。许多设备被认为是一个整体。Equipments不是一个单词。
