Mass nouns and "is/are" uses.
While discussing this topic in class on Thursday I was trying to think of way to use "are" with the sentence "my family is/are _______." So the only thing I could come up with was: "my family are constituents of _____" or "my family are members of _____". Does this work for anyone else? It seems to be the only way I could use "are". That being when the noun after "are" is pluralized to agree with plurality of the phrase "my family".
