  (3)有些代词只能指单数可数名词,当它们在句子中作主语时,尽管在意义上是多数,谓语动词仍要用单数形式。这类代词有either, neither, each, one, the other, another, somebody, someone, something, anyone, anything, anybody, everyone, everything, everybody, no one, nothing, nobody等。例如:

  1) Neither likes the friends of the other. (两人都不喜欢对方的朋友。)

  2) Everything around us is matter. (我们周围的所有东西都是物质。)

  (4)在neither of与either of的结构里,一般语法书都认为谓语动词可用单数形式也可用复数形式,但在美国的TOEFL考试内要求用单数形式。例如:

  1) Neither of them was in good health, but both worked very hard.

  2) Has either of them been seen recently?

  (5)当and连结的两个名词是指同一个人或同一件事,and后的名词前没有冠词,谓语动词应该用单数形式;在and后面的名词前有冠词,谓语就用复数形式。例如:

  1)The bread and butter is served for breakfast. (早饭供应黄油面包。)

  2)The bread and the butter are on sale. (正在出售黄油和面包。)

  (6)当one of, a portion of, a series of, a species of, a chain of 结构作主语时,谓语动词要用单数形式。例如:

  1)One of those students has passed the examination.

  2)A series of pre-recorded tapes has been prepared for language laboratory use.

  (7)form of, type of, kind of 结构的谓语视form, type与kind的单复数而定。these/those kind/type of后是复数名词,谓语动词用复数形式。例如:

  1) The kind of books an author writes depends on the kind of man who he is.

  2) Some new types of cars are now on show.

  3)These kind of recorders are good.

  (8)由one and a half + 复数名词作主语时,谓语动词视名词的单复数形式而定。例如:

  One and a half apples is left on the plate.
