請教各位先進，

英語選擇問題如下:

一個英文的文法還是語法問題? ( 已經得到各位先進很好的答覆，問題解決，感謝。)

這一題的答案是 B。
我對選擇題的答案有疑問?

Everybody should do their work

每個人(單數) 應該作他們的(複數) 工作

這句話看起來不是很怪嗎? 從文法觀點來看這個答案?

每個人 = 他們

我以前沒注意到這問題，在別的課業論壇有人問起這個問題，我才發現不對勁的地方。
查了一下網路上的答案，有放在下面第三個討論區塊。
非正式用法，但是看看也慢慢被接受。因為 Collins Co-Builder 也這樣寫的樣子?
我承認，
我被搞迷糊了。

= = = = = = = = = =

我看看其他的選項，沒什麼錯誤。

因為還原整句，可以寫成如下:

( A ) More time is needed to make our plan well.

( C ) It's important to work together to make our plan work well.
( 這句有點不順口，因為有兩個 to + Verb. ，但是我看不出來有什麼文法錯誤。)

( D ) Using our time is necessary to make our plan work well.

此外， to + Verb. 常常代表 in order to ，
在此種情況下，好像這四個選項都可以採用。

但正確答案在解答上是 ( B）

我不清楚為什麼？

不知各位先進的意見如何？

預先謝謝各位先進的回答

everyone後面不是要接單數名詞嗎？

veryone, everybody, and referents

Q:

I've noticed that singular words like everyone and everybody (as well as other indefinite pronouns, such as someone, somebody, nobody, etc.) are often used with plural possessives. For example, I often hear people say things like

Everyone needs to pick up their garbage.

Is it becoming grammatically acceptable to do this? I thought the correct way was

Everyone needs to pick up his or her garbage.
Thanks.

A:

Whether to use a singular or plural pronoun to refer to a singular indefinite pronoun depends on how "correct" you want to be.

A study by Nesbitt, reported on page 305 of The Grammar Book, 2nd ed. (Heinle & Heinle, 1999), says:

The everyone.their combination actually occurred far more frequently than the sexist his form and the wordy his or her form.

A subsequent study by Lagunoff, also reported on page 305, shows these examples of real language:

Someone left their sweatshirt here.

No one sends their children to public school any more.

Has anyone lost their pen?

Who ever gets to imagine that they might become an artist?

Every (parent/mother/father) thinks their baby is cute.

Lagunoff concludes that teachers can certainly present the they as an option students can use to refer to indefinite pronouns in informal spoken and written contexts.

Similarly, The Collins COBUILD English Dictionary (HarperCollins, 1995) contains this sentence under its entry for everyone, illustrating existing usage of they to refer to everyone:

Everyone in the street was shocked when they heard the news.

Betty Azar, in Understanding and Using English Grammar, 3rd ed. (Pearson Education, 2002, chart 8-2, p.134), states:

A singular pronoun is used in formal English to refer to an indefinite pronoun, as in (f) and (g) [below]. In everyday informal English, a plural personal pronoun is often used to refer to an indefinite pronoun, as in (h).

(f)
(g)
Somebody left his book on the desk.
Everyone has his or her own ideas.

(h)
Informal:
Somebody left their book on the desk.
Everyone has their own ideas.

In summary, it appears that they and their have logically evolved into acceptable usage as referents to everyone. His, her, or his/her, of course, are suitable for formal use.

這四種選擇其實都說得通。
這題的目的應該是要考生選出哪一句是『命令句』。

仁兄您好，

為什麼要用命令句作為適當的答案，是因為文義解釋的關係嗎?

應該是文意的關係。
因為一旦把：
A: more time is needed 改成 we need more time
C: it is important to work together 改成 we should work together
D: using our time is necessary 改成 we should spend more of our time

用主動、命令的語氣會更適合

我自己的想法是to make要往後抓主語做動作的是誰。A是more time無法make plan work well, C的it 是虛主詞不夠直接會讓人混淆，D是動名詞做主語也不對。只有B的everyone合適。
班門弄斧，有錯還請見諒

個人認為。

To make our plan work well。。。。暗示未來要做些什麼才能成功。

只有答案 B 有 should 這個字，表示以後會發生的事。

有錯誤怪，謝謝。
