专题主谓⼀致与常见短语
就近原则:在 not only…but also, not…but , neither…nor , either…or , there be… 句型中,谓语动词由相邻的主语来确定。
例: 1.Not only they but also I am going to collect money for the Hope Project.
2.Either you or Jack is about to take the place of the manager.
二,就远原则:
谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于离它较远的词语的情况。
主要是指主语后面有with, together with, as well as, no less than, along with, like, rather than, but, except, including, in addition to等短语时,谓语动词不受这些短语的影响,仍然与主语保持一致。
如:
The teacher as well as the students was (be) reading in the library. 老师和学生都在图书馆读书。
The factory, including its machines, was (be) completely damaged in the fire.
这个工厂以及里面的机器在火灾中毁于一旦。
