I．單數(shù)主語：
1．當(dāng) every-, some-, any-, no- 等構(gòu)成的不定代詞及 each, either, neither 作主語時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞為單數(shù)。
● Someone has told me about it.
● Neither of us likes the film.
2．當(dāng) every 或 each 位于兩個(gè)由連接詞連接的單數(shù)主語前，謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。（必記之要點(diǎn)?。?BR> ● Each girl and boy has a nickname.
● Every man and woman is welcome.
3．位于主謂之間的介詞短語不影響謂語動(dòng)詞的數(shù)，謂語動(dòng)詞須和主語一致。常見介詞短語有：in addition to, together with, as well as, along with, but, except, etc.
（這是一幾乎所有考試都不愿放過的重點(diǎn)。）
● The teacher along with his students is going to the party.
● His parents as well as his elder sister have come to see him.
II．復(fù)數(shù)主語：
1．當(dāng)主語由 and 或 both ... and 連接，通常采用復(fù)數(shù)謂語動(dòng)詞。
● Both the girl and the boy are his friends.
2．如主語是both, few或主語前有both, few, several, many 等限定詞時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞須用復(fù)數(shù)。
● Several novels have been written by her.
● Both got the news at the same time.
3．下列名詞總是復(fù)數(shù)形式且謂語動(dòng)詞必須用復(fù)數(shù)。
trousers, pants, jeans, glasses, scissors, tweezers, plier, scales , compasses, etc.
● The trousers here are mine.
別忘了：如果以上名詞受 “a pair of” “the pair of”修飾時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。
The pair of pants is too dirty.
III．單、復(fù)數(shù)的靈活運(yùn)用：
1．當(dāng)主語由 neither... nor, either... or, not only ... but also 或 or 連接時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞與nor, or, but also后面的詞一致，在英語語法中，這被稱之為“就近原則”。
● Neither he nor I am going to the airport.
● Not only Mary but also her parents have gone abroad.
2．當(dāng)主語前面有 none, all, some, any, most, half, majority等詞時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞則根據(jù)主語的具體情況而采用相應(yīng)的單、復(fù)數(shù)。
● All of the money has been in the bank. (money 是不可數(shù)名詞)
● All of us have been here.
3．“a number of”是復(fù)數(shù)，修飾可數(shù)名詞，謂語動(dòng)詞為復(fù)數(shù)，“the number of”也修飾復(fù)數(shù)名詞，但謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。（黃金要點(diǎn)！?。?BR> ● A number of students have passed the exam.
● The number of students in this class is 50.
IV. 用作單數(shù)的復(fù)數(shù)形式主語：
1．如主語是指：time, money, weight, volume, etc. 雖為復(fù)數(shù)形式，但謂語用單數(shù)形式。
● Two years is a short time.
● One hundred dollars is needed by me.
2．下列單詞如：physics，economics，mathematics，statistics，etc；measles，mumps，herpes，etc，news，ethics，politics，etc. 為復(fù)數(shù)形式，但謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。
● Statistics is a dull subject.
● Politics is important.
3．書、報(bào)、雜志、電影的名稱作主語，謂動(dòng)用作單數(shù)。
● The New York Times is a good newspaper.
V．下列名詞在形式上保持不變，但謂語動(dòng)詞的數(shù)取決于其意義：
1．family，team，class，committee，group，audience，faculty，etc.
● The family is big.（總體）
● His family like to watch TV.（家庭所有成員）
2．species，series，etc.
● The species is rare.
● These species are common.
3．sheep，deer，etc.
● The sheep are eating grass.

VI. Chinese, English, French, etc 指語言時(shí)，謂動(dòng)是單數(shù)，如與 "the" 搭配，指人民時(shí)，謂語動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)。
English is used widely.
The English love peace.

單數(shù) 復(fù)數(shù)
