英語語法一致的原則講解
(1)以單數(shù)名詞或代詞,動詞不定式短語作主語時,謂語動詞要用單數(shù);主語為復數(shù)時,謂語用復數(shù),例如:

(2)由and或both……and連接的并列成分作主語時,謂語動詞用復數(shù)。例如:

The poet and writer has come.

In our country every boy and every girl has the right to receive education.
Each man and each woman is asked to help.
(4)主語是單數(shù)時,盡管后面跟有 but ,except, besides, with 等介詞短語,謂語動詞仍用單數(shù)。例如:

The police are looking for lost boy.
(6)由each, some, any, no, every 構(gòu)成的`復合代詞作主語時,謂語動詞都用單數(shù)。例如:

Your trousers are dirty. You’d better change them.
如果這類名詞前用了a pair of等,則往往用作單數(shù),謂語動詞的單復數(shù)形式往往取決于pair的單復數(shù)形式。例如:
Here are some new pairs of shoes.
My new pair of socks is on the bed.
