主谓一致精讲精练

一、指导原则主谓一致指“人称”和“数”方面的一致关系。对大多数人来说,往往会在掌握主语和随后的谓语动词之间的一致问题上遇到困难。一般情况下,主谓之间的一致关系由以下三个原则支配:语法一致原则(grammatical concord)意义一致原则(notional concord)就近原则(principle of proximity)

(一)语法一致原则用作主语的名词词组中心词和谓语动词在单、复数形式上的一致,就是语法一致。也就是说,如果名词中心词是单数,动词用单数形式;如果名词中心词是复数,动词用复数形式。例如:

This table is a genuine antique.

Both parties have their own advantages.

Her job has something to do with computers.

She wants to go home.

They are divorcing each other.

Mary was watching herself in the mirror.

The bird built a nest.

Susan comes home every week-end.

(二)意义一致原则有时,主语和谓语动词的一致关系取决于主语的单、复数意义,而不是语法上的单、复数形式,这样的一致关系就是意义一致。例如:Democratic government gradually take the place of an all-powerful monarchy.

A barracks was attacked by the guerilla.

Mumps is a kind of infectious disease.

The United States is a developed country.

It is the remains of a ruined palace.

The archives was lost.

This pair of trousers costs fifty dollars.

(三)就近原则有时,谓语动词的单、复数形式决定于最靠近它的词语。例如:Either my grandsons or their father is coming.

No one except his daughters agree with him.

Mary and her sisters are baking a cake.

Neither Richard nor I am going.

二、以集合名词做主语的主谓一致问题

有些集合名词,如committee,council,crew,crowd,family,gang,government,group,mob,staff,team, union等,在意义上是复数,但在语法形式上是单数,这类名词作主语的主谓一致问题往往遵循“语法一致”或“意义一致”原则。例如:

The committee has/have decided to dismiss him.

A council of elders governs the tribe.

The present government is trying to control inflation.

The school staff are expected to supervise school meals.

(一)通常作复数的集体名词

包括police,people, cattle, militia, vermin等,这些集体名词通常用作复数。例如:

The British police have only very limited powers.

The militia were called out to guard the borderland.

It seems the cattle on the sides of the dikes were the only living creatures in these desolate surroundings.

(二)通常作不可数名词的集体名词通常作不可数名词的集体名词,包括poultry,foliage,machinery,equipment,furniture,merchandise等,这类名词后的动词用单数形式。例如:Poultry is expensive at this time of year.

That green foliage was restful.

The merchandise has arrived undamaged.

All the machinery in the factory is made in China.

The suite of furniture he bought was of contemporary style.

The equipment of the photographic studio was expensive.

(三)可作单数也可作复数的集体名词可作单数也可作复数的集体名词,包括audience, committee, crew, family, government,jury等。例如:The audience was/were enthusiastic on the opening night of the play.

The committee has/have decided to dismiss him.

The jury is/are about to announce the winners.

The government has/have discussed the matter for a long time.

三、a committee, etc of + 复数名词的主谓一致问题如果主语是由a committee of /a panel of /a (the) board of +复数名词构成,随后的动词通常用单数。例如:

A committee of twelve men is to discuss the matter.

A panel of experts has considered the situation.

The board of managers is responsible for the firm.

四、以-s结尾的名词作主语的主谓一致问题英语可数名词的规则复数形式是在词尾加-s或-es,但是有一些以-s结尾的名词并不是可数名词。它们用法多样,造成了实际使用上的困难,以下详述了以-s结尾的名词作主语的主谓一致问题。

(一)以-s结尾的疾病名称作主语的主谓一致问题

(二)以-s结尾的游戏名称作主语的主谓一致问题

(三)以-s结尾的地理名称作主语的主谓一致问题

(四)以-ics结尾的学科名称作主语的主谓一致问题

(五)其它以-s结尾的名词的主谓一致问题

(一)以-s结尾的疾病名称作主语的主谓一致问题

以-s结尾的疾病名称作主语的主谓一致问题,如:arthritis,bronchitis,diabetes,mumps,phlebitis,rickets,这类以-s结尾的疾病名称作主语时,谓语动词通常用作单数。例如:

Arthritis causes great pain in the joints of the patient.

The diabetes is a kind of chronic disease.

Measles usually occurs in children.

Phlebitis is a swollen condition of the blood vessels.

(二)以-s结尾的游戏名称作主语的主谓一致问题

以-s结尾的游戏名称作主语时,谓语动词通常用作单数。例如:

Darts is basically a easy game.

Marbles is not confined to children.

Skittles is not fashionable nowadays.

Draughts is not very difficult to learn.

但当Darts,Marbles等的意义为游戏器具而非游戏名称时,谓语动词通常用作复数。例如:

Three darts are thrown at each turn.

All nine skittles were brought down by the good throw.

(三)以-s结尾的地理名称作主语的主谓一致问题

某些以-s结尾的地理名称,如果是国名,如the United States,the Netherlands等,因其是单一政治实体,所以谓语动词用作单数。例如:

The United States was hit by the Great Depression in 1930s'.

In early January 1996 the Netherlands was hit by its worst storm since 1976.

但如果是群岛、山脉、海峡、瀑布等地理名称作主语,谓语动词用作复数。例如:The West Indies are commonly divided into two parts.

The Himalayas have a magnificent variety of plant.

The Straits of Gibraltar have not lost their strategic importance.

The Niagara Falls are perhaps the most splendid waterfall in the world.

(四)以-ics结尾的学科名称作主语的主谓一致问题

某些以-ics结尾的学科名称作主语时,如physics,mathematics,mechanics, optics, acoustics, politics statistics, economics, linguistics, athletics等, 谓语动词通常用作单数。

例如:

Physics is a fundamental subject in science.

The third world economics is promising.

Acoustics studies the science of sound.

Mathematics is an interesting subject.

Athletics is a required course for students of all grades.

但如果这类名词表示学科以外的其它含义,可作复数用。例如:

Athletics have been greatly encouraged at this college.

The acoustics of the new concert hall are perfect.

The economics of the project are still at issue.

(五)其它以-s结尾的名词的主谓一致问题

A.以-s结尾的由两部分组成的物体名称作主语

英语中有一些通常以-s结尾的由两部分组成的物体名词,如glasses, pincers,pliers,scissors, shorts,suspenders,trousers等,这类名词做主语,如果不带“一把”、“一副”等单位词,谓语动词通常用复数。例如:

Mary's glasses are new.

John's trousers are black.

如果带有单位词,则由单位词决定动词的单、复数形式。例如:

One pair of pincers isn't enough.

Two pairs of scissors are missing from my tool box.

B.其他以-s结尾的名词

英语中还有一些以- s结尾的名词,如archives,arms,clothes, contents, eaves, fireworks, goods, minutes, morals, remains stairs, suburbs, thanks,wages这类名词作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数。例如:

The archives of the country are kept in the Department of Security.

The contents of the book are most amusing.

High wages often result in high prices.

My thanks are sincere.

五、如果句子的主语是并列结构,其主谓一致问题通常遵循以下原则:

(一)由and/both...and连接的并列主语的主谓一致问题

(二)由or/nor/either...or连接的并列主语的主谓一致问题

(三)主语+ as much as,etc的主谓一致问题

(一)由and/both...and连接的并列主语的主谓一致问题

由and/both...and连接的并列结构作主语,可根据主语的意义决定谓语动词的单、复数形式。例如:

Pancakes and syrup is a tasty breakfast.

The number and diversity of British newspaper is considerable.

Good and bad taste are inculcated by example.

Fish and chips are getting very expensive.

A truck and a car were in the ditch.

Both Cathy and her daughter Lida have gone fishing in Canada.

当and连接的并列名词词组带有each,every,或者many a 等限定词时,谓语动词通常用单数。例如:

Each man and each woman there is asked to help.

Every flower and every bush is to be cut down.

Every change of season, every change of weather, indeed every hour of the day, produces some change in the magical hues and shapes of these mountains.

Many a boy was disappointed after seeing the film.

(二)由or/nor/either...or连接的并列主语的主谓一致问题

由or,nor,either...or, neither...nor,not only...but also连接的并列结构作主语,随后的动词形式通常按照“就近原则”处理。

Neither Lucy nor Carol has any money left.

Neither sleet nor snow stops him from driving his new Mercedes-Benz.

Either Tina or Carol is sure to know the answer.

Neither my father nor my brothers are likely to be at theater.

Neither the Kansas coach nor the players were confident of victory.

Not only one, but all of us are hoping to be there.

Not only the switches but also the old wiring has been stolen.

(三)主语+ as much as,etc的主谓一致问题

当主语后面跟有由as much as, rather than , more than, no less than 等引导的从属结构,或跟有由as well as, in addition to ,with, along with, together with, except等引导的词组时,其后的动词形式取决主语的形式。例如:

The vessel, with its entire crew and cargo was lost.

The ocean, as well as the gulf and the bay, provides good fishing.

John, rather than his roommates, is to blame.

Hugh,as well as his two sisters, is vacationing in Wyoming this summer.

Some of the employees as much as the manager were responsible for the failure.

My husband,more than anyone else in the family, is longing to go there again.

Billy, together with his sisters, was wounded in the accident.

No one except two girls was late for school.

六、以表示数量概念的名词词组作主语的主谓一致问题数量概念分两类:一类是确定数量,如two years, five seconds,three kilos,等,另一类是非确定数量,如all of..., some of..., none of...。如果用这类表示数量概念的名词词组作主语,会产生主谓一致问题。

(一)以表示确定数量的名词词组作主语的主谓一致问题

(二)以表示非确定数量的名词词组作主语的主谓一致问题

(一)以表示确定数量的名词词组作主语

当主语为表示确定数量的名词词组时,如果数量概念被看做一个整体,动词用单数,如果被看做组成该数量的个体,动词用复数。例

The treasurer considered that twenty dollars was not too much to ask.

"Two months is too short a time," General manager warned, "we must hurry up."

Three weeks is needed to complete the task.

There were six silver dollars in each of the stockings.

Three pints is not enough to get him drunk.

A total of 50,000 new bicycles was registered in the year.如果作主语的名词词组是由“分数/百分数+ of”词组构成,其动词形式取决于of词组中名词的类别。例如:Two-thirds of the people present is against the plan.

Three-fourths of the surface of the earth is covered by sea.

Over twenty percent of the city was destroyed in the war.

Forty-five percent of the doctors were woman.两数相减或相除,谓语动词用单数;两数相加或相乘,谓语动词可用单数,也可用复

Sixty minus seventeen leaves forty-three.例

Forty-two divided by six is seven.

Six and eight makes/make fourteen.

Six times eight is/are forty-eight.如果主语由"one in/one out of + 复数名词" 构成,在正式语体中,动词用单数。例如:

One in ten students has passed the examination.

One out of twelve bottles was left intact.

(二)以表示非确定数量的名词词组作主语的主谓一致问题

如果主语由"a portion of, a series of, a pile of, a panel of +名词"或由“a kind/sort/type of, this kind/sort/type of+名词”构成,谓语动词通常用单数。例如:

A panel of us has decided to hire a boat and travel through Holland by canal.

A pile of apple logs was set beside the hearth.

A portion of reports is deceiving.

This kind of cars is rather expensive.

This type of women is dangerous.

That type of machines is up-to-date.如果主语是由“many a +名词" 或“more than one +名词"构成,随后的动词遵循“语法一致”原则,用单数。例如:Many a person in these circumstances

has hoped for a long break.

Many a man has his own responsibility.

More than one student has failed the exam.

More than one ship was lost this year.如果主语是all of, some of,none of, half of, most of,lots of,loads of ,plenty of,等表示非确定数量的名词词组,谓语动词的单、复数形式根据of词组中名词类别而定。

英语主谓一致精讲精练

英语主谓一致 一)主谓一致的种类 1.语法形式上的一致 主语为单数形式,谓语动词用单数形式;主语为复数形式,谓语动词也用复数形式。如: The number of the students present is 200. Jane and Mary look alike. 2.意义上一致 1)主语形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词用复数。如:The crowd were shouting. 单数形式代表复数内容的词有:people, police, cattle等。 2)主语形式为复数,而意义上却是单数,谓语动词用单数。如:The news was so surprising. 形复意单的单词有news和一些以ics结尾的学科名称,如physics,politics, economics等。 3.就近原则 即谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语。如用连词or,either…or, neither…not, not only…but also等连接的并列主语,如果一个是单数,一个是复数,谓语动词与靠近它的主语一致。如: Either your students or Mr. Wang knows this. (二)主谓一致的应用 1.名词作主语 1)某些集体名词,如family, team等作主语时,如果作为一个整体看待,谓语动词用单数形式,如果就其中一个个成员而言,谓语动词用复数形式。如: His family is a happy one. The whole family are watching TV. 这类名词有:audience,class,club,company,crew,enemy,crowd,government,group,party,public,team等。 名词population一词的使用情况类似。“a group(crowd) of +复数名词”等短语之后的谓语动词也同样可用单数或复数,前者强调整体,后者强调各个部分。 2)某些集体名词,如people, police, cattle等,只当复数看待,谓语动词必须用复数。如: The police are searching for the thief. 3)单、复数同形的名词主语时,谓语动词应根据意义决定单、复数。如:A sheep is over there. Some sheep are over there. 4)名词所有格之后的名词被省略,这种情况一般只指商店、工厂、住宅等,作主语时,动词一般用单数。如:The doctor’s is across the street. My uncle’s is not far from here. 常见的省略名词有:the baker’s, the barber’s, the carpenter’s, the Zhang’s等。 表示店铺的名词,一般作集体名词看待,但用作主语时,谓语动词往往用复数。如: Richardson’s have a lot of goods to sell. 5)当名词词组中心词为表示度量、距离、金额、时间、书名等复数名词时,往往可以根据意义一致的原则,把这些复数名词看作一个整体,谓语用单数形式。如: Three years has passed since then. 6)不定代词each, every, no所修饰的名词即使以and或逗号连接成多主语时,谓语动词仍用单数形式。如:Each boy and each girl wants to go to the cinema. 7)如果主语有more than on e…或many a…构成,尽管从意义上看是复数内容,但它的谓语动词仍用单数形式。如:More than one student has read the book. Many a girl has been there. 但是,“more +复数名词+than one”结构之后,谓语动词一般多用复数形式。如: More members than one are against your plan. 8)一些有两个部分构成的名词表示衣物或工具作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数形式,例如: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形式。如: A pair of shoes was on the desk. 9)this kind of book =a book of this kind(这种书),其谓语动词用单数;短语this kind of men =men of this kind =these kind of men(口语)(这一类人),但this kind of men的谓语动词用单数,men of this kind和these kind of men的谓语动词

主谓一致知识点总结(word)

主谓一致知识点总结(word) 一、主谓一致 1.—Mum,____ofthe apples____gone bad. —We'd better eat up the rest as soon as possible. A.one third; have B.one thirds; have C.one third; has D.first three; has 【答案】A 【解析】 试题分析:句意:-妈妈,三分之一的苹果已经坏了。-我们最好尽快吃了。在英语中的分数,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,当分子大于一时,分母要用复数形式。所以选A。 考点:考查分数及主谓一致。 2.Not only his friends but also he ________ always interested in science fiction. A.show B.shows C.are D.is 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】 句意:不仅他的朋友,而且他总是对科幻小说感兴趣。考查主谓一致。not only…but also连接两个主语的时候,谓语动词的数由离其最近的主语来决定,即就近原则,所以此处要根据he来确定谓语动词的形式;因为后面是interested in,所以用be interested in“对…感兴趣”,所以谓语动词用is;故答案选D。 3. students in our class going to the summer camp in Beijing next week. A.Two fifths; is B.Second fifths; are C.Second fifths; is D.Two fifths; are 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】 句意:我们班五分之二的学生打算下周去北京参加夏令营。 表达分数时,分子用基数词,分母用序数词,因此五分之二的表达应该是two fifths,排除B,C;分数后面的名词为复数名词students,根据主谓一致的原则,只能用are,故答案选D。 【点睛】

初中英语中主谓一致详解

主谓一致详解 【基础知识】 主谓一致指“人称”和“数”方面的一致关系。对大多数人来说,往往会在掌握主语和随后的谓语动词之间的一致问题上遇到困难。一般情况下,主谓之间的一致关系由以下三个原则支配: 语法一致原则(grammatical concord) 意义一致原则(notional concord) 就近原则(principle of proximity) (一)语法一致原则 用作主语的名词词组中心词和谓语动词在单、复数形式上的一致,就是语法一致。也就是说,如果名词中心词是单数,动词用单数形式;如果名词中心词是复数,动词用复数形式。例如: This table is a genuine antique. Both parties have their own advantages. Her job has something to do with computers. She wants to go home. They are divorcing each other. Mary was watching herself in the mirror. The bird built a nest. Susan comes home every week-end. (二)意义一致原则 有时,主语和谓语动词的一致关系取决于主语的单、复数意义,而不是语法上的单、复数形式,这样的一致关系就是意义一致。例如: Democratic government gradually take the place of an all-powerful monarchy. A barracks was attacked by the guerilla. Mumps is a kind of infectious disease. The United States is a developed country. It is the remains of a ruined palace. The archives was lost.

主主谓一致精讲(超详细)北京四中文档,内部参考

主谓一致 主谓一致是高一下学期的一个语法专项。对于这一语法的掌握大部分靠理解后的记忆。关键要找准主语,再看其句式结构,按照规则办事。另外,对于作主语的名词还要分清是可数名词还是不可数名词。下面我们就这一语法内容进行讲解。 谓语受主语支配,须和主语在人称、数上保持一致,叫主谓一致。处理主谓一致问题可依据三项原则:语法上一致、意义上一致和就近一致。 一、语法上一致: 谓语和主语通常是从语法形式上取得一致,即主语为单数形式,谓语动词也采用单数形式,主语为复数,谓语也为复数形式。 A、谓语用单数的情况 1、以单数名词或代词、动词不定式、动名词短语或从句作主语时。 例:The boy is clever enough to study maths well.

【名师导航】中考英语精讲复习 主谓一致(要点提示+专项专练)

主谓一致 【要点提示】 所谓主谓一致,主要是指主语和谓语动词在“人称”和“数”上的一致,其基本原则有三个:语法一致原则、意义一致原则和邻近原则。下面就初中阶段需要掌握的重点内容作一归纳。 1. 主语是单数,即使后面跟with, except, as well as等引导的短语,谓语动词仍用单数形式。例如: Mr Green with two students is standing outside the classroom. 2. each以及由every, some, any, no等构成的不定代词在句中作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数形式。例如: Each of the children has an apple. Everything begins to grow fast in spring. 3. 动词不定式(短语)、v-ing形式(短语)等在句中作主语时,谓语动词常用单数形式。例如: To do is much more difficult than to say. Climbing hills is his hobby. 4. 表示时间、金钱、长度等的短语作主语表示整体时,谓语动词常用单数形式。例如:Three years has already passed. 5. “one of + 复数名词 / 代词”作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。例如: One of the students was hurt in the accident. 6. family, class, police等集体名词作主语表示整体概念时,谓语动词用单数形式;若表示具体成员时,谓语动词用复数形式。例如: His family is moving next month. His family enjoy watching the football match. ★但是people一词在表示“人”时,总是表示复数意义,谓语动词用复数形式。例如:Look! Three American people are playing with the dog. 7. 由and连接两个名词作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数形式;但如果表示的是一种事物或一个概念时,谓语动词则用单数形式。例如: His mother and his sister are good at dancing. The teacher and writer is the twins’ father. 8. “some / all / half / most / the rest / 分数等 + of + 名词 / 代词”作主语时,谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于of 后的名词或代词的数。例如: Half of the milk was polluted. The rest of the doctors are all from Canada. 9. what, who 等疑问代词作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数形式。但是,如果说话人确信回答中要用复数主语(尤其是问句中的某些词语表明答句中要用复数主语时),则可用动词的复数形式。例如: W hat’s in the box? Who have not received their postcards? 10. “... pair(s) / kind(s) / sort(s)等 + of + 名词”作主语时,谓语动词常与pair(s) / kind(s) / sort(s)等保持一致。例如: This kind of book is interesting.

高中英语主谓一致知识点讲解

高中英语主谓一致知识点讲解 本文主要讲解主谓一致,并列结构作主语时谓语用复数主谓一致中的靠近原则谓语动词与前面的主语一致 等常见考点。 主谓一致是指: 1)语法形式上要一致,即单复数形式与谓语要一致。 2)意义上要一致,即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致。 3)就近原则,即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语, 一般来说,不可数名词用动词单数,可数名词复数用动词复数。例如: There is much water in the thermos. 但当不可数名词前有表示数量的复数名词时,谓语动词用复数形式。例如: Ten thousand tons of coal were produced last year. 15.1 并列结构作主语时谓语用复数,例如: Reading and writing are very important. 读写很重要。 注意:当主语由and连结时,如果它表示一个单一的概念,即指同一人或同一物时,谓语动词用单数,and 此时连接的两个词前只有一个冠词。例如: The iron and steel industry is very important to our life. 钢铁工业对我们的生活有重要意义。 典型例题 The League secretary and monitor ___ asked to make a speech at the meeting. A. is B. was C. are D. were 答案B. 注:先从时态上考虑。这是过去发生的事情应用过去时,先排除A.,C。本题易误选D,因为The League secretary and monitor 好象是两个人,但仔细辨别,monitor 前没有the,在英语中,当一人兼数职时只在第一个职务前加定冠词。后面的职务用and 相连。这样本题主语为一个人,所以应选B。 15.2 主谓一致中的靠近原则 1)当there be 句型的主语是一系列事物时,谓语应与最邻近的主语保持一致。例如:There is a pen, a knife and several books on the desk. 桌上有一支笔、一把小刀和几本书。 There are twenty boy-students and twenty-three girl-students in the class.班上有二十个男孩,二十三个女孩。 2)当either… or… 与neither… nor,连接两个主语时,谓语动词与最邻近的主语保持一致。如果句子是由here, there引导,而主语又不止一个时,谓语通常也和最邻近的主语一致。例如: Either you or she is to go. 不是你去,就是她去。 Here is a pen, a few envelops and some paper for you. 给你笔、信封和纸。 15.3 谓语动词与前面的主语一致 当主语有with, together with, like, except, but, no less than, as well as 等词组

主谓一致性十二个要点

主谓一致性十二个要点 1, 两个作主语用的名词或代词由either … or, neither… nor, not only… but, not… but, or等连接时,谓语动词应按后一个主语的人称和数而定,例如: Either he or I am to go to the laboratory. Neither the students nor the teacher knows anything about this matter. Not only air, but natural gas consists of some substances. On most American farms, one or two principal products are raised for a cash crop. 2, 主语是单数,而后面跟as well as, as much as, no less than, with, together with, along with, rather than, more than, in addition to, like, unlike, but, except, besides, including, accompanied by, among, coupled with,not等短语时,谓语动词与离它最远的动词保持一致。谓语动词用单数或复数取决于离它最远的主语是单数还是复数。例如: Air as well as water is matter. She as well as the other students has learned how to install a computer. Our chemical works, with some few factories, was built in 1989. A professor, together with some students , was moved into a new laboratory. Nobody but the students is in the classroom. Fuel like oil and coal gives out much heat. Y ou, not I , are to blame. Tom, more than anybody else, is anxious to go there again. Y ou no less than she are very glad at the news.你和她听到这个消息都跟高兴。 John as much as his brothers was unsuitable for the job. 约翰和他的兄弟同样不适合干这工作。3, 作主语用的集体名词作为一个整体看待时,谓语可用单数,若就其中各个成员来考虑,则谓语可用复数。例如: The committee was made up of ten members. The committee were holding talks in the room. The majority of our class is (or are) going to the plant. 4, 表示数目字、时间、钱额的名词复数作主语时,谓语仍用单数: Two hours is enough for us to perform this experiment. Twice three makes (或equals, is equal to) six. Two yuan is too cheap for this book. 5, 不可数名词前有“表示复数含义的词+量词+of ”修饰时,其谓语常用复数形式: There are many kinds of water in nature. ( 这里显然指雨水、井水、河水、海水、地下水等而言,若用there is much water,则指水的数量多,而不是指种类多) Two million square meters of housing were constructed in Tianjin in 1980. 注:表示重量、长度等单位的名词,尽管用复数形式,由于可以作整体来看待,所以谓语也可用单数形式: Five pounds of sugar is more than I need. Two kilometers is not a long distance. 6, 虽用and 连接两个主语,但指的是同一人、物或同一概念时,谓语仍用单数形式: A stateman and poet was present at the meeting. Bread and butter is a healthy food. The wheel and axle is a potating lever. When the block and tackle was used, a force of 250 grams lifted a 1000 gram weight.
