一、当以“A and B”为主语时

1. “A and B”后跟的谓语动词的单复数取决于该结构所描述的对象是单数还是复数。

例如:Li and Zhang are good students(两人:复数形式)。

相反,一个新闻记者兼作家则可以用单数形式表示:A journalist and author lives in the courtyard。

2. 若“A and B”前有each、every等修饰词,或者many a修饰单数名词时,谓语用单数。

例句:Each man and each woman is invited;Many a boy and many a girl has been invited。

二、当由every,any,some,no等构成的复合词做主语时,谓语用单数。

如:Everyone has his own hobby;Anyone but you is welcome。

三、关于主谓一致的规则

使用one,every one,each one等词时,谓语动词用单数。而当使用either,neither修饰时,其后接的复数名词的谓语动词也用单数。

例句:Neither of them is right;Each of them has a book(of them修饰主语each)。

四、关于不可数名词的特殊规则

当使用none of后跟不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数;若跟的是可数名词,谓语动词可用单数或复数(口语中偏用复数)。

例句:None of that money(money为不可数名词)in the desk is his;None of the boys here likes(like)dancing。(口语中用复数)

五、关于并列主语的句子结构

or,not only … but also,either … or,neither … nor等连接的句子结构中,谓语动词的单复数形式遵循“靠近原则”。

例句:Either you or I am mad;Not only the teacher but also his family were(here family强调成员)friendly to me。

六、关于伴随状语的结构

当使用A(主语) + with,along with,together with等结构时,谓语的数由真正的主语决定。

例句:All but one were here just now;A library with five thousand books is offered to the nation as a gift。

七、关于复数形式的集体名词

像physics,news,means等复数形式的词,通常用作单数,除非有很强的复数语义。但也有例外,如“All possible means”(所有可能的方法)这种情况下会用复数形式。

八、关于特殊词汇的用法

眼镜、剪刀、裤子、鞋子等词汇后通常用复数形式,除非有明确的量词强调一副、一套等单数语义。如trousers,pants,shoes,glasses,scissors等。但也有例外,如所有商品都可以说成“All goods are good”。

九、关于集体名词作主语的句子结构

集体名词作主语时,强调整体语义时用单数;强调集体名词中个体语义时用复数。这主要看言者的意图,不必过于死板地分析。如The youth of our country are happier than the other people;Our family is very happy;When I came into the room,his family were watching TV。但也有例外情况如A group is coming to us(这句话强调整体的语义非常明确)。当使用people,,cattle等集体名词作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。而mankind,humanity,man等作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数。
