1、Word并列结构作主语时谓语动词用单数还是复数 1. 由and和bothand连接的并列主语 此时谓语动词通常用复数。如: Jim and Mary are both interested in it. 吉姆和玛丽都对此感爱好。 Both brother and sister are college students. 兄妹俩都是高校生。 【留意】 (1) 当由and连接的两个并列主语受each, every, no的修饰时,谓语用单数: Every boy and (every) girl likes the book. 每个男孩女孩都喜爱这本书。 No desk and (no) chai
2、r was seen in the room. 房间里不见桌椅。 (2) 当and连接两个数相加时,谓语动词可用单数或复数: Six and eight makes make fourteen. 六加八等于十四。 (3) 当and连接的两个的词语指同一个人或事物时,谓语通常要用单数: A cart and horse was seen in the distance. 远处观察一辆马车。 2. 由or, nor, eitheror, neithernor, not onlybut also, notbut等连接的并列主语 此时谓语动词通常与最靠近的主语保持全都(即遵循就近原则)。如: He o
3、r I am wrong. 不是他错了,就是我错了。 Either you or he has taken it. 不是你拿了就是他拿了。 Not only the children but also the mother wants to go. 不仅孩子们想去,母亲也想去。 留意这类句型的疑问句形式: Were you or he there? 当时是你还是他在那儿? Are either you or he to blame? 是怪你还是怪他? 【留意】 在非正式文体中,个别结构(如neithernor)连接主语时,谓语可用复数: Neither his father nor his mother have has come. 他的爸爸和妈妈都没来。 3. 由as well as, as much as, rather than , more than, no less than 等连接的并连主语 此时谓语动词通常与前面一个主语保持全都。如: The teacher as well as the students has read it 不仅同学读过它,老师也读过。 The teacher rather than the students is to blame. 应受责怪的是老师而不是同学。 3
