3、但表示的意義是單數(shù)，故謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式。相反，people，police等詞形式上是單數(shù)形式，但表示復(fù)數(shù)意義，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用復(fù)數(shù)形式 鄰近一致鄰近一致 謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞該用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)形式，取決于最鄰近它的名詞、代詞或其它詞的數(shù)。 另外，neithernor，eitheror，not onlybut also連接兩個(gè)名詞或代詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，或由there，here引導(dǎo)的句子，并且主語(yǔ)不止一個(gè)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常與鄰近它的那個(gè)主語(yǔ)保持?jǐn)?shù)上一致。 除了上述三個(gè)原則外，還有一些特殊的情況需要注意： 1表示時(shí)間、重量、數(shù)目、價(jià)格、長(zhǎng)度、數(shù)學(xué)運(yùn)算等的詞或詞組作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，盡管它們是復(fù)數(shù)形式，但如果把這些復(fù)數(shù)形式的詞或詞組

4、看作是一個(gè)整體，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞就用單數(shù)形式。 例：Three weeks is a short time三個(gè)星期是很短的時(shí)間。 2動(dòng)詞不定式、動(dòng)名詞、從句或不可數(shù)名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式。 It is not easy to master a foreign language要掌握一門(mén)外語(yǔ)是不容易的 It is not easy to master a foreign language要掌握一門(mén)外語(yǔ)是不容易的。 3由and連接兩個(gè)單詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，要看其表示的意意義義來(lái)決定謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)還是用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如果表示的是一個(gè)整體的概念或指的是同一事物，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式；如果表示的是兩個(gè)不同的對(duì)象時(shí)，
