[谨记规则]
(一)并列主语的主谓一致
1.当两个或两个以上作主语的单数名词用and, both ...and连接,并表示两个不同的概念时,谓语动词用复数形式。但and连接的并列名词如果表示同一人、事或概念,且后面的名词前没有限定词,谓语动词用单数形式,如the needle and thread, the fork and knife, iron and steel, mud and sand等。
Both tea and coffee are my favorites.
The writer and professor, who I often refer to at the meetings, is popular among those people.
2.由each, every, no修饰的名词作主语时,即使有and连接多个并列主语,谓语动词仍用单数形式。
No sound and (no) voice has been heard for a long time.
Every boy and every girl is treated in the same way in our school.
3.由or, nor, either ... or ..., neither ... nor ..., not only ... but also ...等连接并列主语时,谓语动词的单复数与它临近的主语保持一致。
Either you or I am going to be in charge of this matter.
4.there be, here be后接几个并列名词时,谓语be动词的数遵循就近原则。
There is an orange and four bananas left.
(二)数词和量词作主语时的主谓一致
1."分数+of/百分数+of/the rest of/plenty of/the majority of/lots of/a lot of/a quantity of+可数名词复数或不可数名词"作主语时,谓语动词的单复数一般取决于of后名词的数
