①

语法一致原则主谓一致主语和谓语在人称和数上要保持一致，主语的单复数形式决定了谓语动词的单复数形式。1.当主语为any、every、no、some所构成的复合代词时，谓语动词用单数形式。Somebodyislookingforyou.有人在找你。Everyonehasachancetowin.每个人都有机会赢。

①

语法一致原则主谓一致2.当主语为each、either、neither或由each、either、every、neither所修饰时，谓语动词用单数形式。Eachoftheanswersisworth20points.每题为20分。Neitheransweriscorrect.两个答案都不对。特别提醒

在讲话和非正式写作中，“either/neitherof+复数名词”作主语时，谓语动词也可以用复数形式。Neitherofthemhas/haveacar.他们两个都没有汽车。

①

语法一致原则主谓一致3.当主语为both或由其修饰时，谓语动词用复数形式。Bothareimportanttous.

两者对我们都很重要。Bothofmyparentsaredoctors.

我的父母都是医生。

②意义一致原则主谓一致谓语动词的单复数由主语的实际意义决定。当主语为family、team、class等集体名词时，若强调整体，谓语动词用单数形式；若强调成员，谓语动词用复数形式。ThefamilynowlivesinShanghai.

那家人现居上海。Allmyfamilyenjoyskiing.

我们全家都喜欢滑雪。

③就近原则主谓一致谓语动词的单复数由离它最近的主语决定，多适用于either...or...、neither...nor...、notonly...butalso...和therebe句型等。EitherheorIamgoingtoattendthemeeting.

要么是他，要么是我去参加这次会议。Thereisapenandsomebooksonthedesk.

桌子上有一支钢笔和一些书。

NeitherwinningnorlosingiseverythingintheOlympics.(教材P754b)neither...nor...既不······也不······
