- Nota d'uso
I sostantivi come committee sono chiamati collettivi perché indicano un gruppo di persone. In inglese possono essere seguiti dal verbo al singolare o al plurale, a seconda del contesto e di ciò che vuole esprimere chi parla. In generale, se si pensa al sostantivo in modo impersonale, si sceglie il singolare: The committee, which started its meeting this morning, has the final say in the matter, la commissione, che ha iniziato la riunione stamattina, ha l'ultima parola in materia. Se invece si pensa alle singole persone che fanno cose diverse all'interno del gruppo, si sceglie il plurale: The committee have been listening to the views of residents, la commissione ha ascoltato le opinioni dei residenti. Si noti che quando il verbo è al singolare, un'eventuale proposizione relativa sarà introdotta da which o that, mentre se il verbo è al plurale, poiché si pensa alle persone, si ricorre a who.
