People、water、air这些词后面为什么要加动词的第三人称单数。

还有哪些词也跟他们一样。

回答1:

他们不是同一类的
1.people,这类集合名词包括cattle(牛,牲畜),people(人),police(警察)等,其用法特点为:只有单数形式, 但却表示复数意义,用作主语时谓语用复数;不与 a(n) 连用,但可与the连用(表示总括意义和特指)。如:
People will laugh at you. 人们会笑你的。
The police are looking for him. 警察在找他。
Many cattle were killed for this. 就因为这个原因宰了不少牲畜。
注:表示牲畜的头数,用单位词 head(单复数同形)。如:
five head of cattle 5头牛
fifty (head of ) cattle 50头牛
2.water,air是不可数名词,不可数名词还有tea, water, juice, milk, coffee, bread, rice, meat, fish, fruit, advice, information, hair, music等

如同以上的说法:
1.people,这类集合名词包括cattle(牛,牲畜),people(人),police(警察)等,后面不是加第三人称单数。你说错了
2.water,air是不可数名词,不可数名词还有tea, water, juice, milk, coffee, bread, rice, meat, fish, fruit, advice, information, hair, music等
