"the law came looking for him"
误 The police has arrested all the suspects.
正 The police have arrested all the suspects.
析 The police作“警察”“警方”解,在句中作主语时,谓语动词必须是复数形式。
有个警察抓住了小偷。误 A police caught the thief.
正 A policeman caught the thief.
析police意为“警察部门”是集合名词,表示复数意义,前面必须有定冠词。policeman意为“警务人员”,如果要表示“一个警察”,则用a policeman或a police officer。
