crowd做先行词为什么关系代词用which

回答：crowd属于集体名词。集体名词就是表示一群人或物的名词，如family,class,government, group, team等。

集体名词作主语时的用法：若指整体，谓语动词用单数；若指各个个体，谓语动词用复数。在定语从句中若用关系代词指代先行词crowd时，指整体用which, 指各个个体用who。例如：

This family consists of four members.

His family were watching TV when I entered.

Smith pushed his way through the crowd which thinned rapidly and fell in behind him.

The angry crowd who shouted and screamed were ready to fight and to die in battle.
