police没有复数形式。police通常表示“警察部队”,“警方”这样的含义,是一个集体名词。若表示个别的、具体的“警官”,则用a police officer,或a policeman/policewoman,复数形式是police officers/policemen/policewomen。
指警察时往往前面有定冠词 the,指“多个警察”时,前面有时有数词,有时没有。可以说a few police, six or sevenpolice 。例如:
We have reported the matter to the police.
我们将这件事报告了警察。
Several hundred police were on duty in the street.
几百名警察在街上执行任务。
注意:police作主语时,谓语动词应该是复数形式。例如:
The police are looking for the little boy.
警察正在寻找小男孩。
policeman 是可数名词。复数形式是policemen,说“一个警察”通常用“ a policeman”。例如:
If you want to know the way,ask a policeman.
如果你想要打听路怎么走,可以去问警察。
