the Whites family come from England 还是 the Whites family comes from England 呢?

the Whites family come from England.
是说整个家庭的成员都来自英格兰,这里强调整体,用单数。
当集体名词看作整体时,用单数;着重强调组成该集体的各个成员,用复数。
集体名词作主语时
a) mankind/humanity/man(人类)作主语的时候,谓语动词一般用单数形式Only man is knows how to cook. b) 由people, police, cattle, youth等集体名词作主语的时候,谓语动词用复数形式
The cattle are grazing in the field. c) Family, croud, class, public, enemy等集体名词作主语的时候
i. 若当整体看,则谓语动词用单数形式Our class is very diligent.
ii. 若他们表示的人或者事物当作若干个个体来看,谓语动词则用复数形式When I came into the room, his family were watching TV.
iii. A family/group/class作主语时,谓语动词用单数families/groups/classes作主语时,谓语动词用复数
A group is coming to the zoo.

comes from

the whites family是一个整体。
如果是the Whites and Blerrys families(两个家庭) 就用come from

用Comes from.
因为最主要的主语词是family,是一个整体名词,还是作为单数的.前面的the whites是修饰词.

题目有问题哦。
the White family=the Whites
the Whites family是???
