主谓一致

1 . 主谓一致

单数n.+ with （along with/ together with / combined with / as well as / rather than +n. 或pron.作主语时，谓语用单数形式）

e.g.  Marry, with her younger sister, is to leavethis evening.

John, rather thanyou, is responsible for the accident.

 And 连接的两个n. 做主语时，指同一人或物，用单数谓语v. （通常and后的n. 前没有art ）;指不同的人或物时，用复数谓语v. （通常and 后的n.前有art）

e.g.  His coach and friend was present that day.

     The coach and the friend were present thatday.

3）由both ... and 连接的两个n. 做主语时，谓语用复数。

e.g.  Both my brother and I are college students.

 由neither of/ either of +n. 或pron. 的复数形式做主语时，谓语用单数。

e.g.  Neither of them has learned how to write abusiness letter.

在“one of +复数n. +定语从句”结构中，定语从句修饰复数n.  从句谓语用复数形式，但在“the only one of +复数n. +定语从句”结构中，从句的谓语用单数形式。

e.g.  Tom is one of the boys who are interested inplaying computer games.

     Tom is the only one of the boys who is notinterested in playing football.

 由“many a /more than one 等 +n. 作主语时，谓语用单数”

集合n. people / folk / police / youth / cattle等作主语时，谓语总是用复数。

表示时间，度量，重量，温度，金钱的复数n. 作主语时，其意义是一个整体，谓语一般用单数。

e.g.  Three years at college seems quiet short forthe students.

     Fifty dollars is enough for me to buy thatbook.

3.毗邻一致

1）由or / either ... or / neither ... nor / not only ... butalso 等连接的n. 或pron. 作主语时，谓语的单复数要与临近的主语一致

e.g. Never mybrother nor Tom is coming to the party.

如果主语是and 连接的两个单数n., 而且前面有every / each / many a / no 等修饰时，谓语用单数形式。
