英语语法学习---主语和谓语的一致
    (1)集合名词做主语，如表示整体概念则用单数谓语形式，如表示成员则用复数谓语形式。比较:
    The basketball team is made up of 20 players.
    这个篮球队由20名成员组成。
    The basketball team are having a bath now.
    篮球队员们正在洗澡。
    常见的这部分名词有:army,audience,class,club,committee,company,crowd,couple,family,group,government,staff,team,public等。
而有些复合名词如:people, police, youth, cattle等，总是跟复数动词形式。例如:
    The police have caught the criminal.警察抓住了罪犯。
    (2)单复数同形的名词做主语，要根据意义来决定谓语的形式。常见的这部分的名词有:deer, fish, means, sheep, species, series, crossroads等。例如:
    The species of fish are numerous.鱼的种类繁多。
    The species of sheep is very rare.这种绵羊很稀有。
    (3) "the+形容词”做主语，如表示一类可数的人或事物，谓语动词用复数;如表示一类不可数的事物时，谓语动词用单数。例如:
    The disabled are well looked after by the government.政府对残疾人照顾得很好。
    (4)表示成双成队东西的名词，如果被a pair of修饰，要求谓语动词用单数:否则，谓语动词用复数。例如:
    These glasses are made in Beijing.这些眼镜是北京生产的。
    This pair of glasses is made in Beijing.这副眼镜是北京生产的。
    (5)用and连接的两个名词做主语，遵循意义一致的原则。如果指同一个人或物时，用单数谓语形式;如果指不同的人或物，则用复数谓语形式。例如:
    The manager and director was present at the meeting.经理兼书记出席了会议。
    The manager and the director were present at the meeting.经理和书记出席了会议。
    (6)用both...and连接两个名词做主语，谓语用复数形式。例如:Both the manager and the director have agreed to be present.经理和书记都己同意出席。
    (7)如果名词前有each, every, many a, no等修饰时，谓语用单数形式。例如:
    No adult and no child is admitted.成人、儿童一律不得入内。
    Many a boy and many a girl has watched the football match.许多女孩和男孩都看了这场足球赛。
    (8)单数名词+with, along with, together with, combined with, as well as, rather than等所跟的名词做主语时，要遵循语法一致的原则，谓语仍用单数形式。例如:John as well as his parents was invited to the party.约翰以及他的父母一起被邀请参加晚会。
    (9)由or, either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also等连接的名词或代词做主语时，谓语要符合邻近原则，与邻近的主语保持一致.例如:Neither I nor he is to blame.
我和他都不该受责备。
