Either rain or snow fell ever day this week but everybody ____ (has/ have) tried to ignore it. My friends and my mother ____ (has/ have) visited almost all the museums in London. None of them ____________ (carry/ carries) an umbrella but nobody _____ (has/ have) let that affect their activities. We are enjoying ourselves so much that I wonder if anybody _____ (want/ wants) to come home. This group of tourists ____ (love/ loves) the culture and ____ (is/ are) happy in England and would like to visit London every summer. 1. this kind of book = a book of this kind (这种书) , 其谓语用单数; 短语this kind of men = men of this kind = these kind of men (口语) (这一类人), 但this kind of men的谓语用单数, men of this kind和these kind of men的谓语用复数, all kinds of后跟复数名词, 谓语用复数形式。如： 注意: This kind of men is dangerous. Men of this kind are dangerous. 2. 在主谓倒装的句子中, 谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如: Between the two windows hangs a picture. 3. “分数或百分数+名词”构成的短语以及由“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large quantity of, a heap of, heaps of, half of + 名词”构成的短语作主语时, 其谓语动词要与短语中of后面的名词的数保持一致, 这是因为短语中后面的名词是中心词, 而短语中前面的量词是修饰语。如: Lots of damage was caused by fire. About three-fourths of the earth’s surface is covered with water. Three-fifths of the workers here are women. 和这种情况类似的还有“a number of + 名词复数”。但是,“the number of + 名词”的中心词却是number。试比较： A number of students have gone to the countryside to help with the autumn harvest. The number of pages in this book is two hundred. 注意: a (large) quantity of修饰可数或不可数名词, 其短语作主语时, 谓语动词用单数。 e.g. A large quantity of people is needed here. quantities of 修饰可数或不可数名词, 其短语作主语时, 谓语动词一般用复数。如: Quantities of food (nuts) were on the table. 短语in quantity, in large quantities 意为 “大量”; in small quantities 意为“少量”。 4. a great deal of, a large amount of, 修饰不可数名词, 其短语作主语时, 谓语动词通常用单数; large amounts of修饰不可数
