? 主谓一致

1. 语法一致原则：谓语动词和主语在单、复数形式上保持一致。 To study English well is not easy. Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes.

【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形式。 What I bought were three English books. What I say and do has nothing to do with you.

★ a pair of +表无生命的名词+单数谓语；a pair of +表人或动物的名词+单数/复数谓语： This pair of shoes is not mine.

The happy pair is / are going to Hawaii for their honeymoon.

★如果and 并列的主语指的是同一个人或物时，谓语动词用单数：

a/ the + 单数名词（人）+ and + 单数名词（人）+ 单数谓语

a/ the + 单数名词（人）+ and + a/ the + 单数名词（人）+ 复数谓语 The dancer and singer was greeted by a crowd of people. The dancer and the singer were greeted by a crowd of people.

★ 由and连接的并列单数主语前如果分别有no, each, every more than a (an) , many a (an)修

饰时，其谓语动词要用单数形式: Every man, woman, and child needs love.

★ 有些用and连接起来的单数名词，关系密切，已被看成一个整体，作主语时，谓语单词

用单数

Fish and chips is a popular fast food in England.The stars and stripes is the national flag of the U.S.A.

★ 主语为单数名词或代词，后面跟有with, together with, except, but, like, as well as, rather

than, more than, no less than, besides, including等引起的短语，谓语动词仍用单数形式: The factory with all its equipment has been burnt.

The manager, along with his secretaries, is going to a dinner party tonight. The teacher, as well as the parents, is to blame for the accident.

★ 由any, some, no, every 与body, one, thing构成的不定代词作主语或主语的一部分，谓语

用单数：

★ 在定语从句中，关系代词that, who, which等作主语时，谓语动词的数与先行词的数一致： He who laughs last laughs best.

试比较：He is one of my friends who are working hard.

词就用复数形式, 这些词有army, family, audience, club, class, group, organization, troop等： The graduating class is in the laboratory. The class were all cheerful.
