在牛津小学英语中family前面用复数还是单数？

翻译啊，如果是“家庭”这个东西，就是单数；
如果是“家庭成员”这些人，就是复数

您的问题是：在牛津小学英语中family前面用复数还是单数？
问题补充是：现在牛津版的集体名词一般用什么数表示？

以下是我们对您问题补充的回答（网上搜集，不一定百分百正确，请您谅解！）

【集合名词】
有些集合名词，ommittee,council,crew,crowd,family,gang,government,group,mob,staff,team, union等，在意义上是复数，但在语法形式上是单数，这类名词作主语的主谓一致问题往往遵循“语法一致”或“意义一致”原则。例如：

The committee has/have decided to dismiss him.

A council of elders governs the tribe.

The present government is trying to control inflation.

The school staff are expected to supervise school meals.

（一）通常作复数的集体名词

包括police,people, cattle, militia, vermin等，这些集体名词通常用作复数。

例如：

The British police have only very limited powers.

The militia were called out to guard the borderland.

It seems the cattle on the sides of the dikes were the only living creatures in these desolate surroundings.

（二）通常作不可数名词的集体名词
