Melyik a helyes? "My whole family is right behind me" vagy "My whole family are right behind me"

Ha több ember akkor are, ha egy akkor is.

Ha több embert takar a családod, akkor are. Ha egy ember a családod akkor is.

“My family members are...”

“My family member is...”

Pár válasz (részlet) angol anyanyelvűektől:

"In American English, collective nouns are almost always treated as singular. In British English, it often depends on whether the speaker/writer sees the noun as a unit or as individuals."

"The answer depends on whether you’re using British or American English, and on the emphasis you wish to make."

"“Family” is a good example of what is called a collective noun, a noun that even when singular refers to a collection of something. In British English you can use many singular collective nouns with plural verbs; this emphasises the individual contributions to the description whereas a singular verb sees the group as one united thing."
