并列結(jié)構(gòu)作主語的主謂一致
1. 就近型:由or, either…or, neither…or, not… but…, not only…but also等連接的并列成分作主語時,其謂語通常要與靠近的主語保持一致。如:
Neither you nor he is tired. 你和他都沒累。
Not you but I am to blame. 不是你的錯而是我的錯。
Either my father or my brothers are coming. 不是我父親就是我兄弟要來。
2. 就遠(yuǎn)型:由as well as, as much as, rather than, more than, no less than 等連接的并列成分作主語,其謂語通常與前面一個主語保持一致。如:主謂一致
The son, as well as his parents, wants to go there. 不但兒子想去那兒,而且他的父母也想去。
3. 復(fù)數(shù)型:由and和both……and連接的并列成分作主語,其謂語總是用復(fù)數(shù)。如:
(Both) New York and London have traffic problems. 紐約和倫敦都存在交通問題。
注:當(dāng)由and連接的兩個并列主語受each, every, no的修飾時,其謂語用單數(shù)。另外,當(dāng)and連接的兩個的詞語指同一個人或事物時,其謂語也要用單數(shù)。如:
Every man and woman wants to join it. 每個男女都想加入它.
A teacher and poet visited our school the other day. 早幾天一位教師詩人參觀了我們學(xué)校。
