主谓一致
【主谓一致命题趋势与预测】
根据对主谓一致部分全国各地试题的分析可知，今后该部分将是重点考查点之一。其考查重点为：
1. 语法一致的原则
2. 意义一致的原则
3. 邻近一致的原则
谓语受主语支配，须和主语在人称和数上保持一致，这叫做主谓一致。主谓一致一般遵循三条原则：语法一致原则，意义一致原则和就近一致原则。
在英语中，谓语动词必须和主语在人称和数上同主语保持一致，叫做主谓一致。通常采用下列三个原则来处理，即：语法形式一致的原则、逻辑意义一致的原则、就近（或毗邻）一致的原则。
一、语法形式一致的原则
即在语法形式上取得一致。如：主语为单数形式，谓语动词用单数；主语为复数形式，谓语动词也采用复数形式。但须注意下列几种情况：
1.以单数名词或代词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句作主语时，谓语动词用单数。例句：What you need most is to have a good sleep.你所需要的就是好好睡一觉。
How you can get there is a problem. 你怎么到那儿去还是个问题。
[注意：]由what引导的主语从句，后面的谓语动词多数情况用单数形式。但若表语是“复数或what从句是一个带有复数意义的并列结构”时，主句的谓语动词用复数。
例如：What I bought were three English books.我买的是三本英语书。
What we badly need here are experienced teachers. 我们这里急需的是有经验的教师。
【考例】As the saying ________,"Where there is a will; there is a way. "[昆明市] A. go B. goes C. going D. went
[答案]B．[解析] the saying为第三人称单数形式，所以谓语动词用goes。
2、由and 或both...and来连接并列主语时，谓语用复数。
例句：Swimming and walking are good exercises.游泳和散步都是好运动。
Both John and Ann have got pen-friends.约翰和安都有笔友。
1）并列主语如果表示同一个人、同一事物或同一概念时，谓语动词用单数形式（这时and
后的名词前没有冠词）。例如：The manager and secretary was absent at the meeting.经理兼书记没有出席会议。
Their teacher and friend is Mr. Li.他们的老师和朋友是李先生。
2)由and连接的并列单数主语前如果分别被no， each， every或many a ，more than one
修饰时，其谓语动词用单数形式。
例如：Each man and each woman is asked to help. 每个男士和妇女都被请来帮忙。
Many a student is having practice in that factory. 许多学生正在那家工厂实习。
More than one student is interested in the book.不止一个学生对这本书感兴趣。[注意] 在“more than one＋单数名词”作主语时，若在There be句型中，亦可用复数。
例如：There is/are more than one man here. 这儿不止一个人。
【考例】 Trees and flowers ________every year to make our country more beautiful. [陕西省]
A. is planted
B. was planted
C. are planted
D. were planted
[解析] every year说明本句表示一般现在时的概念，去掉B、D项；trees and flowers表达复数意义,答案：C
3、如果主语是单数，尽管后面跟有(together) with，as well as， like， but，except，besides，including，no less than，rather than，as much as，more than，along with，in addition to等介词短语，其谓语动词仍用单数形式；若主语为复数，则谓语动词也用复数。
例如：An English teacher together with some students has climbed to the top of the mountain.
Mary as well as her friends likes this painting.玛丽和她的朋友都喜欢这幅画。
No one except my close friends knows anything about this matter.除了我的亲密朋友谁也不知道这件事。
She, like you and Tom, is very tall.像你和汤姆那样她很高。
4、不定代词each, either, neither 和由 some, any, no, every 构成的复合代词作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
例如：Each (of us) takes a cup of coffee.(我们)每人喝一杯咖啡。
Everyone knows smoking cigarettes is bad for health.大家都知道吸烟不利于身体健康。
5.不定代词none 以及由"none of＋复数合词(或代词)"构成的短语作主语时，谓语用单复数均可。
例如： Neither of them have replied. 他们两个谁也没有答复。
Neither of them has replied. 他们两个谁也没有答复。
6、在定语从句中，关系代词that，who，which等作主语时，其谓语动词的数，应与句中先行词的数一致。
例如：The horse which is tied to the tree belongs to John.拴在树上的那匹马是约翰的。
Those who want to go on a journey please sign your name here.要去旅游的请把名字签在这儿。
[注意]在以“one of the＋复数名词”为先行词的定语从句中，关系代词作主语时，谓语动词用复数；但如果“one of the＋复数名词”这个结构前有the only之类的修饰语时，其从句的谓语动词用单数。
例如：This is one of the questions that have been asked by the students.这是学生提出的许多问题的一个。
He is the only one of the officers who was invited to the ball here. 他是办公室唯一收到邀请的人。
7、“a lot of （lots of）， plenty of， a head of， heaps of， the rest（majority）of ，some（many，anymore，most， all等）of＋+名词”构成的短语作主语时，其谓语动词的数要与of后面的名词（短语）保持一致。
例如：Most of the students in our class are league. 我们班上大多数学生是团员。
Most of the food tastes delicious. 大多数食物味道很好。
Lots of damage was caused by smoking.许多损害是由吸烟引起的。
注意：1）all单独作主语表示“人”时，谓语用复数；表示“整个事件或事情”时，谓语用单数。
例句：All are present. 所有的人都出席了。(表人) All is well. 一切都好。(表示整个事情或情况)
注意：2）“a number of+复数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式；“The number of+复数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。
例如：A number of students in our class are out by the lake.我们班有些学生到湖边去了。
The number of students in our school is 2500.我们学校的学生人数是2500名。【考例】Look! There _______ playing with the tourists on Yinhe Square. (2008包头)
A. are a number of deer
B. are a number of deers
C. is a number of deer
D. is a number of deers
答案：A。该题考查的是主谓一致。这个句子的主语是a number of deer, 是个复数概念，因此谓语动词应用复数形式。（deer单复数相同）
8、由“分数或百分数+of +名词（或代词）”构成的短语作主语时，其谓语要与of后面的名词（短语）保持一致。
例如：Two thirds of the country is dry or desert.这个国家的三分之二的地方气候干燥或者是沙漠地区。
More than 70 percent of the surface of our earth is covered by water.地球70%的表面被水所覆盖。
30 percent of the students in our class are girls.我们班的30%是女生。
9、如果主语是由“a kind of, 或this/that kind of, a series ( a species) of ，a pair of等 + 名词”构成谓语动词通常用单数形式。
例如：This kind of men is dangerous.这种人是危险的。
That kind of snake/snakes is dangerous. 那种蛇很危险。
[注意]但"there/those kinds of＋复数名词"作主语时，谓语动词要用复数。
例句：There kinds of tests are good . 这种测试很好。
Those kinds of apple trees have not yet grown up. 那种苹果树还没有长。二、逻辑意义一致原则
即谓语动词的单复数取决于主语所表达的内在涵义。常见的有以下几种情况：
1、表示总称意义形单意复的名词，如people, police, cattle 等作主语时，只当作复数看待，谓语在任何情况下都用复数。
例句：Cattle are one cause of the problem.造成戈壁滩的原因之一是牲畜问题。
The police are searching for a murderer in that mountain.警察正在山中搜寻一名杀人犯。
2、以集体名词army, class, enemy, family, government, group, team，crew，crowd，public等集体名词作主语时，谓语应视其情况而用不同形式：当作主语被看作一个整体时，谓语用单数，如果被看成是其中的个体成员时，谓语就用复数。
例句： Our family is not poor any more. 我们家已经不再贫困了。
My family all speak the Intuit language.我一家人都讲因努伊特语。
[注意]population 单独使用作主语时，谓语动词用单数；而前面有some, most 或与分数、百分数连用作主语时，则谓语动词用复数形式。
例如：Most of the population of the city are workers.这个城市人口的大多数是工人。
One third of the population now smoke.三分之一的人口在吸烟。
The population in our country is very large, and eighty percent of the population are farmers.
3、当一些有两部分构成的表示衣物或工具的名词作主语时，谓语动词通常用复数形式，如glasses, trousers（裤子）, shoes ，chopsticks（筷子）,goods（货物）,scissors（剪
刀）,socks, compasses（圆规），但如果这些名词前有a pair of，等量词修饰时，（clothes 被修饰a suit of），谓语动词一般用单数形式。
例如：Your trousers need washing. 你的裤子该洗了。
My glasses are new. 我的眼镜是新的。
A pair of new shoes is in your suitcase.一双新鞋在你的手提箱里。
Two pairs of socks are enough for me. 对我来说，两双袜子就足够了。
4、由“pair, piece of +名词 / 代词”作主语时，谓语动词与pair, piece等词保持一致与后的代词、名词无关。
例如：There is a pair of shoes left.只剩下一双鞋。
The pieces of stone were then carried to the new place for the temple.所有石块被运到新建寺庙的地方。
5、当表示时间、金钱、距离、重量、长度、价值等数词短语作主语，根据意义一致原则，通常被看作一个整体，其谓语用单数。
【考例】 ---How much ________the shoes?---Five dollars_________ enough． [2007年青岛市]
A．is；is B are；is C．are；are D．is；are
[答案]B ．[解析] 答案为B。shoes作主语时，谓语动词应用复数形式；five dollars是一个整体，应按单数对待。
【考例】How time flies! Ten years ________ passed. (2004天津)
A. have
B. has
C. is
D. are
答案：B。该题考查的是主谓一致。Ten years通常被看作是一个时间整体，谓语动词用单数形式。
6.某些形复意单的名词(如表示人名、地名、国名及组织、书籍、报刊等名称的专有名词和学科名词等)作主语，谓语用单数。
例句：Physics is a difficult subject to learn, I think. 我想，物理是一门难学的目。
The United States is in North America. 美国在北美洲。
7、如果主语由“the+形容词（分词）”担任时，往往根据意义一致原则，来决定谓语动词的单、复数形式。如果表示一类人时，谓语动用复数形式；如果指个人或抽象概念时，则谓语动词用单数形式。
例如：The old is taken good care of in our country. 在我们国家老人受到很好的照顾。
The sick is one of the students in our class. 那位病人是我们班的一个学生。
8、名词所有格之后的名词被省略的情况，一般只指商店、公共建筑物、住宅等，作主语时，谓语一般用单数。例如：The baker's is on the side of the street.理发馆在街道的另一边。
My uncle's is not very far from here.我叔叔的家离这儿不太远。
9、数词作主语时，谓语用单数，但有四则运算中，谓语单、复数均可。
例如：Ten times five is / are fifty. 十乘五等于五十。
Three hundred and forty plus six hundred and sixty is / are one 加660等于1000。
10.疑问代词who, what, which作主语时，谓语动词的形式取决于它产本身的含义。
例如：Which is your room? 哪一间是你的房子?
Which are your rooms? 哪几间是你的房子?
11、表示数量的短语“one and a half＋名词复数”及“a＋单数名词＋and＋a half”作主语时，谓语用单数。
例句：One and a half oranges has been left on the table. 桌子上只剩下一个半桔了。
A month and a half has passed. 一个半月时间过去了。
三、就近一致原则
即谓语动词的数随最近的主语而定，又称为毗邻一致原则。例如：
1、当or，either...or， neither...nor， not only...but also...，not...but....，whether...or...等连接两个并列主语时，谓语动词单复数取决于最靠近于它的名词或代词。例句：Either you or Lily is to do the cleaning after supper. 不是该你，就是该莉
莉在晚饭后打扫卫生。
Not only the mother but also the children were there.不但母亲在那里，而且
孩子们也在那里。
【考例】Not only Jim but also his sister ______a few cities in the south since they came to China．[临沂市]
A．will visit B. has visited C．have visited
D ．visited
[答案]B ．[解析]本题既考查时态，又考查并列连词not only．．．but also的用法。由
时间状语since they came to China，可判断用现在完成时，排除A、D两项；not only．．．but also连接两个并列的主语时，谓语动词要用“就近原则。
【考例】Neither Jim nor his cousins ____to America, but ___of them know the country very well. [07年潍坊市]
A．have been；a11 B. have been; both C has been; all D．has been; both
[答案]B．[解析]考查neither．．．nor的用法，以及both与all的区别。neither…nor
连接两个主语时，谓语用“就近原则”，cousins是复数，谓语用have been，排除C和D 项；指两者用both。
2、在倒装句中如一个句子由there 或here引起，而主语又不止一个，谓语动词往往与最邻
近的主语保持一致。例如：There is a desk a table and three chairs in the room. 房
间里有一张书桌，一张桌子和三把椅子.
【考例】--There__________ no milk in the fridge. Could you get some for me, Dick?
--All right, Mum. [福州市]
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
[答案]A．[解析]本题考查"there be”句型中be的数及时态，be在数上要与最近的主语保
持一致.句子的主语是不可数名词，所以be应使用单数形式，B、D两项可以排除。

英语语法讲解——主谓一致 英语中,主语的单复数形式决定着谓语动词的单复数形式. 主谓一致必须遵循以下三条原则:语法一致原则,意义一致原则,就近一致原则.根据这三条原则,现从以下几个方面进行总结: 一, 并列结构作主语时的主谓一致 1.由and 连接的两个单数名词作主语时,谓语动词一般根据语法一致的原则用复数. 如: A young man and a girl want to go there. 一个青年男子和一个姑娘想去那里. 但如果在意义上指同一个人,同一件事或同一个概念时,谓语动词要用单数形式.如: A needle and thread was found on the floor. 在地板上找到了针线(穿了线的针). 2. 当each ...and each..., every...and every..., no...and no..., many a...and many a...结构作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式.如: ①No man and no animal is to be found on the moo n. 在月球上没发现人和动物. ②Many a doctor and many a nurse is busy with their work.
许多医生和护士都忙于他们的工作. 3.一个单数名词同时被两个不同的形容词修饰,表示两个不同的概念时,谓语动词一般用复数.如: Ancient and modern history are the subjects we are s tudying. 古代史和现代史是我们目前学习的课程. 但如果表示的是同一概念时应用单数.如: The last and most difficult lesson is lesson14. 14课是最后一课也是最难的一课. 4. 由not only... but also ... , either...or ... , neither... nor... , ... or...连接的并列主语,谓语动词通常依就近一致原则决定.如: Either the players or the coach is responsible for the defeat. 不是运动员就是教练应该对这次比赛的失利负责. 5. 当主语由as well as, along with, together with, rathe r than, no less than（不少于，多达）, but, except, besides, in addition to, like, including等词连接时,其谓语动词的单复数形式通常由前面的词来决定. 如: ①An iron and steal works, with some satellite factorie s is to be built here.
主谓一致练习题(含答案)经典 一、主谓一致 1．The number of the volunteers in our city 2 ,000. And sixty percent of them teachers and students. A．is; is B．is; are C．are; is D．are; are 【答案】B 【解析】 句意：在我们城市志愿者的数量为2000.他们中的百分之六十是教师和学生。根据句意，结合语法知识the number of,……的数目，做主语时谓语动词使用单数形式，而percent做主语时，谓语动词的单复数需要依据of后面的单词。故答案为B. 2．Be quiet, please.

主谓一致的用法及专项练习题 一、主谓一致三原则 主谓一致是指谓语动词与主语在人称和数上保持一致，主谓一致必须遵循三原则：语法一致原则，意义一致原则，就近一致原则。 1. 语法一致原则：指主语是单数形式，谓语动词用单数形式，主语是复数形式，谓语也用复数形式。 Tom is a good student. 汤姆是个好学生。 They often play football on the playground. 他们经常在操场上踢足球。 2. 意义一致：指主语形式上为单数，但意义为复数，因此谓语动词用复数形式；或主语形式上为复数,但表示单数意义，这是谓语动词用单数形式。 My family is having lunch now. 我们一家人现在正吃午饭。 Twenty dollars is too expensive for the book. 这本书20美元太贵了。 3. 就近一致：指谓语动词用单数形式还是用复数形式，取决于最靠近他的主语。例如： Not only the teacher but also his students like playing football. 不仅老师喜欢踢足球，而且他的学生也喜欢踢足球。 There is a pen and some books on the desk. 课桌上有一支钢笔和一些书。 二、主谓一致常考题型 1. 单数名词(代词)，不可数名词作主语时，谓语用单数形式，复数名词(代词)作主语，谓语用复数形式。 The desk is Tom’s. 这张桌子是汤姆的。 Some water is in the bottle. 一些水在瓶子里。 The students are playing football on the playground. 这些学生正在操场上踢足球。 2. many a+单数名词作主语，意义虽为“许多”，但谓语要用单数形式。 Many a student has been to Shanghai. 许多学生到过上海。 3. more than one+单数名词作主语，谓语用单数。 More than one student has ever been to Beijing. 不止一个学生曾经去过北京。 4. 表示时间，价格，重量，数目，长度，数学运算等的词或短语作主语时，这些通常作一个整体概念，谓语用单数形式。例如： Two months is a long holiday. 两个月是一个长假。 Twenty pounds isn’t so heavy. 20英镑并不太重。 Ten miles isn’t a long distance. 10英里并不是一段很长的距离。 Five minus four is one. 5减4等于1。 5. 主语是each/every+单数名词+and(each/every)+单数名词时，谓语动词用单数。 Each boy and each girl has got a seat. 每个男孩和女孩都有一个座位。
高中英语主谓一致知识点讲解 本文主要讲解主谓一致，并列结构作主语时谓语用复数主谓一致中的靠近原则谓语动词与前面的主语一致 等常见考点。 主谓一致是指： 1）语法形式上要一致，即单复数形式与谓语要一致。 2）意义上要一致，即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致。 3）就近原则，即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语， 一般来说，不可数名词用动词单数，可数名词复数用动词复数。例如： There is much water in the thermos. 但当不可数名词前有表示数量的复数名词时，谓语动词用复数形式。例如： Ten thousand tons of coal were produced last year. 15.1 并列结构作主语时谓语用复数，例如： Reading and writing are very important. 读写很重要。 注意：当主语由and连结时，如果它表示一个单一的概念，即指同一人或同一物时，谓语动词用单数，and 此时连接的两个词前只有一个冠词。例如： The iron and steel industry is very important to our life. 钢铁工业对我们的生活有重要意义。 典型例题 The League secretary and monitor ___ asked to make a speech at the meeting. A. is B. was C. are D. were 答案B. 注：先从时态上考虑。这是过去发生的事情应用过去时，先排除A.，C。本题易误选D，因为The League secretary and monitor 好象是两个人，但仔细辨别，monitor 前没有the，在英语中，当一人兼数职时只在第一个职务前加定冠词。后面的职务用and 相连。这样本题主语为一个人，所以应选B。 15.2 主谓一致中的靠近原则 1）当there be 句型的主语是一系列事物时，谓语应与最邻近的主语保持一致。例如：There is a pen, a knife and several books on the desk. 桌上有一支笔、一把小刀和几本书。 There are twenty boy-students and twenty-three girl-students in the class.班上有二十个男孩，二十三个女孩。 2）当either… or… 与neither… nor，连接两个主语时，谓语动词与最邻近的主语保持一致。如果句子是由here, there引导，而主语又不止一个时，谓语通常也和最邻近的主语一致。例如： Either you or she is to go. 不是你去，就是她去。 Here is a pen, a few envelops and some paper for you. 给你笔、信封和纸。 15.3 谓语动词与前面的主语一致 当主语有with, together with, like, except, but, no less than, as well as 等词组
中考英语主谓一致的技巧及练习题及练习题(含答案) 一、主谓一致 1．-How time flies! Three years since we came to this school, -Yes,it a good memory. A．have passed; is B．has passed: is C．pass; has been D．passed; was 【答案】B 【解析】 试题分析：句意：--时间飞逝。从我们来到这所学校，三年的时间已经过去。--是的，它是一个美好的回忆。时间做主语看做单数，故排除AC。since从……（到现在），是现在完成时的标志，故排除D，故选B。 考点：考查主谓一致及时态的用法。 2．In our class _____ of the students _____ girls. A．third fifths; is B．third fifth; are C．three fifth; is D．three fifths; are 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】 句意：我们班五分之三的学生是女孩。 在英语中表示分数，分子要用基数词，分母用序数词，当分子大于一时，分母用复数形式。五分之三应该是three fifths;另外，分数+名词复数作主语的时候，后面的谓语动词应该用复数。所以选D。 3．---______ is the population of the town? ---Over 20,000. And a third of the population ____ workers of the car factory. A．What, are B．How many , are C．What , is D．How many, is 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】 试题分析：在英文中，对于人口有多少通常用what来提问，population前有分数修饰，表示的是复数概念，谓语动词使用复数，故be用are，故本题选A。 考点：对人口有多少提问用what。 点评：（1）在英文中对于人口有多少用what来进行提问，而不用how many或how much，how much对不可数名词提问，如how much water，how many对可数名词提问，如how many people，而what是单独使用，注意它们的使用和区别。（2）population前有分数修饰，表示的是复数概念，谓语动词使用复数，单独使用谓语动词使用单数。 4．一Which would you prefer, orange juice or coffee? 一Either OK, but I prefer coffee milk.

主谓一致详细讲解 1.由and所连接的两个名词指同一人物、同一事物、同一概念时，谓语动词要用单数形式。 例如： Both bread and butter were sold out in that grocery. Zhang Hua and Li Ming are good students. 注意:当两个主语为不可分的东西时，谓语动词用单数形式。例如： A watch and chain was found on the desk. Bread and butter is nutritious. When and where this took place is still unknown. 注意：一身兼二职的情况：The writer and runner is attending the conference. 2. 由every…and every…, each…and each…, many a…and many a …, no ...and no…等构 成复合主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。例如: Each man and each woman is invited.每个男人和女人都邀请了。 No boy and no girl is there now. 现在那里没有一个男孩和女孩。 Many a boy and many a girl has been invited.很多男孩和女孩都被邀请了。 In China every boy and every girl has the right to receive education. 在中国每个男孩和女孩都有接受教育的权利。 3. 由or, not only... but also..., not…but…, either...or, neither...nor，whether……or……连接 主语时,谓语与靠近的主语一致，即就近一致的原则。例如： He or his brothers were to blame .Either you or I am mad. Are either you or I mad? Neither you nor he is right.

A library with five thousand books is offered to the nation.

．主谓一致 主谓一致是指一个句子的主语和谓语动词保持数的一致关系。英语主谓一致一般要遵循三条原则，即：语法一致原则；意义一致原则和就近原则。 1.语法一致原则 语法一致原则是指谓语动词和它的主语在语法形式上必须取得一致，即主语是单数形式，谓语动词用单数形式，主语为复数形式，谓语动词也用复数形式，如： Tom doesn’t like swimming. 汤姆不喜欢游泳。 Jane and Mary look alike. 简和玛丽看起来很像。 2.意义一致原则 意义一致原则是指谓语动词和主语的一致，同由主语所表达的单数概念来决定，而不是根据主语的实际语法形式。 有时主语的语法形式是单数，但所表达的概念是复数意义，这时动词应采用复数形式，如： The football team are having breakfast now. 足球队员们在吃早饭。 The news was exciting. 这条消息令人振奋。 3.就近原则 就近原则指谓语动词的人称和数要在形式上与最靠近它的那个名词或代词取得一致。当一个句子有两个主语而它们又是either...or…, neither…nor…, not only…but also…, or 等连接时，谓语动词与靠近它的主语保持一致，如： Either your students or Mr Wang knows this. 你的学生们或王老师知道这件事。 Neither Jim nor his friends were interested in this film. 汤姆和他的朋友们都对这部电影不感兴趣。 主谓一致这三个原则中有很多需要注意的问题， 1.主语为集体名词 (1)某些集体名词既可表示单数也可表示复数。如果集体名词作为一个整体看待，谓语动词用单数形式，如果就其中一 个成员而言，谓语动词用复数形式，如： Our group were discussing heatedly on the subject. 我们小组成员正对这个问题进行热烈的讨论。（group 指小组成员）Our group is made up of four girls and five boys. 我们小组有4个女孩和5个男孩组成。（group 指小组整体） The population in China is very large, and one third of the population are farmers. 中国的人口很多，其中三分之一是农民。（前一个population 指整体，后一个population 指成员） (2)某些集体名词如people, police, cattle, youth 等常作复数看待，谓语动词与复数形式的谓语搭配，如： The police are searching for him. 警察正在搜寻他。 The cattle were driven away from the hill. 那些牲畜从山上被赶走了。 3.某些名词如equipment（设备），furniture（家具），jewelry（珠宝），clothing（衣服），machinery（机械），表示单数 概念，谓语动词要相应地采用单数形式,如： A lot of equipment has been replaced by the new equipment. 许多旧设备已经被新设备代替了。 All the machinery in the factory was controlled by robots. 这个厂所有的机械都由机器人来控制的。 2.主语为代词 (1)．有些代词尽管意义上是多数，但谓语动词要用单数形式，这类代词有：either, neither, each, another, somebody, someone, something, anything, anyone, everyone, everything, everybody, no one, nothing, nobody 等，如： Neither likes the friends of the other. 两人都不喜欢对方的朋友。 Everything around us is matter. 我们周围所有的东西都是物质。 注意： ①在neither of 与either of 的结构中，谓语动词可用单数形式也可用复数形式，如： Neither of them was / were in good health, but both worked hard. 他们俩身体都不好，但工作却都很努力。 ②each 用于单数名词前，谓语动词用单数形式, each 用于复数主语后，谓语动词用复数形式。each of, each one of 后 接复数名词或代词，但谓语动词常用单数形式。 Each (one) of the houses was different. 每座房子都不同。 Each student has been given their own e-mail address. 每个学生都得到了一个自己的电子邮件地址。
