14.一些有两个部分构成的名词表示衣物或工具作主语时,谓语通常用复数形式。如glasses, clothes, trousers, shoes, compasses, chopsticks, scissors等。但如果主语用“a kind of, a pair of, a series of”等加名词构成时,谓语动词一般用单数。如
15.区分men of this kind与this kind of men这两者当主语时,前者的谓语动词用复数形式,后者用单数形式。如
This kind of men is dangerous.
这种男人很危险。
Men of this kind are dangerous.
这种男人是危险的。
16.在主谓倒装的句子中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。例如:
On the wall hangs a picture.
墙上挂着一幅画。
17.并列主语如果指的是同一个人,同一事物或同一概念时,谓语动词用单数形式。这时and后面的名词没有冠词。如:
Truth and honesty is the best policy.
真诚是最好的策略。
The writer and teacher is quite popular among the students.
既是作家又是教师的他深受学生的欢迎。
18.在“one of +复数名词+who/that/which”引导的从句结构中,关系代词who/that/which的先行词是靠近它的复数名词而不是one,因此,从句中的动词应该是复数形式。如:
This is one of the most interesting stories that have been told.
注:当one之前有the only等修饰语时,关系代词的先行词是one,而不是靠近它的复数名词,因此从句的动词应是单数形式。
She is the only one of the girls who is late sometimes.
她是唯一一个有时迟到的学生。
