- -the navy is o the navy are?-
- Nota d'uso
I sostantivi come navy 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. In generale, se si pensa al sostantivo in modo impersonale, si sceglie il singolare: The navy has a long and distinguished history, la marina militare ha una storia lunga e onorevole. Se invece si pensa alle singole persone, si sceglie il plurale: The navy have expressed their concerns over recent cuts, la marina ha manifestato preoccupazioni riguardo ai recenti tagli. 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.
