audience的词性
集体名词：表示几个个体组成的集合体，或是说一个团体性的名词来表示由多个个体组合成的名词。如：
Class，people,crowd,youth, family,nation,team,staff[全体职员],public,government,group,Audience,
集体名词表示一个整体概念，它可以用谓语单数形式也可以用动词复数形式，谓语用单数形式表示抽象的一个整体，也就是一个由个体合成的整体。
而用谓语复数形式，则强调多个单一的内容：
[1]My class is a big one。 [比较；There are 2 classes above us。]
My cla
ss are going to have a journey next week。
[2]The Chinese people are a hard working people。
There is one people found in the room。
[3]His family is not poor any more。
Your family are quite well, I hope。 [比较：There are 2 families living by that river now。
]
[4]The crowd is found to march on the street。
The crowd are shouting over there。 [比较：2 crowds of people are working on the river bank。
]
[5]The football team was playing very well。
The football team are coming tonight。 [比较： 2 teams are having a match now。
]
[6]It was late,but the audience was increasing。
The audience are discussing the proposal。
[7]The public was likely to support the idea。
The public were attracted by the event。
在很多情况下，一个集体名词单复数动词均可用，没有区别：
The Government is[are] considering further tax cuts。
The data are [is]all ready for examination。
The audience was[were] very excited by the show。
The public has [have]a right to know what`in the report。
The family was[were] too poor to offer that。
Our discussion group is[are]excellent。
The youth of today is[are]better off than we used to be。
There are many people in the room。 [but:There are more than fifty peoples in our country。
]
只用复数动词形式的：
The police are coming now。
The crew are getting on the plane。

它是一个集体名词,无复数形式． 单数用法，还是复数用法取决于说话者要强调的对象．若强调观众们都在做同一件事或同一个动作，谓语动词就用单数，这是它的单数用法；若强调观众中不同的人在做不同的事，谓语动词就用复数，这就是它的复数用法了．
