-the orchestra is o the orchestra are?-
Nota d'uso
I sostantivi come orchestra 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 orchestra is conducted by Muti, l'orchestra è diretta da Muti. Se invece si pensa alle singole persone che fanno cose diverse all'interno del gruppo, si sceglie il plurale: The orchestra have performed brilliantly tonight, l'orchestra ha suonato benissimo stasera. 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.
