就近原則
就近原則即謂語動詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)形式取決于最靠近它的詞語。
a、并列主語用連詞or，either…or，neither…nor，not only…but
also等連接，謂語應(yīng)同相鄰的主語保持人稱和數(shù)的一致。如：
Not only the students but also the teacher enjoys listening to the music.
不僅學(xué)生而且這位老師也喜歡聽這種音樂。
Are either you or he wrong？ 要么是你錯，要么是他錯嗎？
b、在there be 表存在的句式中，主語是兩個或多個名詞（短語）的并列時，be 的形式與最前邊的一個名詞（短語）一致。如：
There is a pen，two knives and several books on the table=There are two knives，a pen and several books on the table.桌子上有一支鋼筆、兩把小刀和幾本書。
c、副詞或介詞短語在句首的倒裝句中，必須認(rèn)準(zhǔn)哪是主語。如：
Between the two buildings stands a monument. 兩幢樓之間聳立著一塊紀(jì)念碑。
On the ship were over 2,200 people. More than 1,500 people lost their lives. Among those was the young woman.船上有2,200人，1,500多人喪生，這位年輕婦女也在其中。
