1 并列结构作主语时谓语用复数The reading and writing are very important. 　 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，共用一个冠词用单数，表示 　　The iron and steel industry is very important to our life. 　　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. 　　2 主谓一致中的就近原则 not only…but also not just… but…， or nor either…or… neither…nor… 及在there be句型中，谓语动词的单复数按就近原则处理，即按与谓语动词最靠近的那个主语来确定谓语动词的单复数形式。如： 　　Not only John but also I am going to Shanghai next week.　 　　Either you or she is to go. There is a pen，a few envelops and some paper for you. There are twenty boy-students and twenty-three girl-students in the class. 　　3 谓语动词与前面的主语一致 当主语后面跟有with, together with, like, except, but, no less than ,as well as 等词引起的短语时，谓语动词与前面的主语一致. 　　The teacher together with some students is visiting the factory. 　　He as well as I wants to go boating. 　　4 谓语需用单数 　　1) 代词each和由every,some,no,any等构成的复合代词作主语，或主语中含有each,every,谓语需用单数. 　　Each of us has a tape-recorder. 　　There is something wrong with my watch. 　　2) 当主语是一本书或一条格言时，谓语动词常用单数. 　　The Arabian Night is a book known to lovers of English. 　　一千零一夜是英语爱好者熟悉的一本好书. 　　3) 表示金钱，时间.距离.价格或度量衡的复合名词作主语时，通常把这些名词看作一个整体，谓语一般用单数.(用复数也可，意思不变.) 　　Three weeks was allowed for making the necessary preparations. 　　Ten yuan is enough. 　　5 指代意义决定谓语的单复数 　　1) 在代词what,which,who,none,some,any,more,most,all等词的单复数由其指代的词的单复数决定. 　　All is right. (一切顺利.) 　　All are present. (所有人都到齐了.) 　　2) 集体名词作主语时，谓语的数要根据主语的意思来决定.如family,team，group，club,public,audience,crew,crowd,class,company,committee等词后用复数形式时，意为这个集体中的各个成员，用单数时表示该个集体. 　　His family isnt very large. 他家不是一个大家庭. 　　His family are music lovers. 他的家人都是音乐爱好者. 　　但集合名词people,police,cattle,poultry(家禽）.militia(民兵）.vermin(害虫）等在任何情况下都用复数形式. 　　Are there any police around 　　3)有些名词，如variety,num
