Never once has the old couple quarrelled with each other since they were married 40 years ago.
为什么助动词用has不用have,而且后面都是they啊,此时的couple应该表示两个人吧,

这里的主语是the old couple 用have 也是正确的哦·
1) couple表示“夫妇”“夫妻”且用作主语时,谓语动词可用单数(视为整体,尤其是当有each,every,only one等修饰时)或复数(考虑其个体).如:
The couple were married last week.这一对夫妇是上星期结的婚.
Each couple was asked to complete a form.要求每对夫妇填一张表.
2)有时语境上不明确强调个体还是整体,则用单数或复数均可:
The couple is [are] spending its [their] honeymoon.这对新婚夫妻在度蜜月.

那对夫妻自从结婚40年前结了婚就从没吵过一次架。
这句话的主语是没吵过一次架 所以谓语用单三形式 因此是has
望采纳~
有问题欢迎追问~

couple 是可数名词,the couple是单数。
