主謂一致的內(nèi)容一致原則
1.主語中有all, half, most, the rest等, 以及”分?jǐn)?shù)或百分?jǐn)?shù)+名詞“做主語時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞單復(fù)數(shù)取決于連用的名詞。如:

Ten miles is a good distance. 十英里是一個(gè)相當(dāng)?shù)木嚯x。
5. (1) 通常作復(fù)數(shù)的集體名詞。
police(警察),people(人),cattle(牛,牲口)等集合名詞,總是表示復(fù)數(shù)意義,用作主語時(shí),其謂語要用復(fù)數(shù):
The police were after him. 察正在追捕他。
People are beginning to talk about her. 人們開始議論她。

主謂一致的就近原則
有時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞的的數(shù)決定于主語中最靠近它的詞語:
Either you or I am wrong. 不是你錯(cuò)了就是我錯(cuò)了。
Neither the students nor the teacher is interested in it. 老師和學(xué)生對(duì)此都不感興趣。
總結(jié):
1. 由here, there, where 等引導(dǎo)的倒裝句中, (有時(shí)主語不止一個(gè)時(shí))謂語動(dòng)詞與靠近它的主語在數(shù)上一致。如:
Here comes the bus 公共汽車來了。
Here is a pen and some pieces of paper for you. 給你一支鋼筆和幾張紙。
Where is your wife and children to stay while you are away?
你不在這兒的時(shí)候, 你愛人和孩子在哪兒呆呢?
2. 用連詞or, either… or, neither…nor, not only…but also 等連接的并列主語, 謂語動(dòng)詞與靠近它的主語在數(shù)上一致。 如:
He or I am wrong. 不是他錯(cuò)了,就是我錯(cuò)了。
Either you or he has taken it. 不是你拿了就是他拿了。
Not only the children but also the mother wants to go. 不僅孩子們想去,母親也想去。
注意這類句型的疑問句形式:
Were you or he there? 當(dāng)時(shí)是你還是他在那兒?
Are either you or he to blame? 是怪你還是怪他?
Neither the students nor the teacher knows anything about it 學(xué)生和老師都不知道這事。
He or you have taken my pen. 他或你拿了我的鋼筆。
注:1.在非正式文體中,個(gè)別結(jié)構(gòu)(如neither…nor)連接主語時(shí),謂語可用復(fù)數(shù):
Neither his father nor his mother have [has] come. 他的爸爸和媽媽都沒來。
3.one of +復(fù)數(shù)名詞+who/that/which 引導(dǎo)的定語從句中, 定語從句的動(dòng)詞為復(fù)數(shù)。如:
Mary is one of those people who keep pets. 瑪麗是飼養(yǎng)寵物者之一。
The only one of +復(fù)數(shù)名詞+ who/that./which 引導(dǎo)的定語從句中,定語從句的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)為單數(shù)。
Mary is the only one of those people who keeps pets. 瑪麗是唯一一個(gè)飼養(yǎng)寵物的人。
