Every possible means has been tried to save the future of the baseball player so far.

题目

Every possible means has been tried to save the future of the baseball player so far.
这个句子中为什么every后面加了名词复数,every后面不是要加名词单数吗

答案

means 名词 ：单复数同形
此题中被every 修饰,可以判断出means是名词单数,所以谓语部分用has been tried ;
若语境调整为：All possible means have been tried to .时,means 被all 修饰,则means 是名词复数.
