What did you learn from them?
1、英语句子中的主语与谓语动词应在人称和数上保持一致。
2、有些主语虽为单数形式，但意义为复数。有些主语虽为复数形式，意义为单数，谓语动词用单数。
所以，我们应保持主谓意义上的一致。
Subject – verb agreement
主 谓 一 致 性
主谓一致
主谓一致是指谓语在人称和数上必须和主语的人称和数保持一致。这是英语语法中必须遵循的基本规则，也是英语和汉语区别很大的地方。
主谓一致主要有以下几种情况：
二、意义一致
三、就近原则
一、语法一致
一、语法一致
主语为单数形式，谓语动词也用单数形式；
主语为复数形式，谓语动词也用复数形式。
例如：
I often help him and he often helps me.
我经常帮助他，他也经常帮助我。
We often help each other.
我们经常互相帮助。
不可数名词作主语，谓语动词用单数；
可数名词的复数形式作主语，
谓语动词用复数。
二、意义一致
主语形式虽为单数，但意义为复数，谓语动词用复数；
主语形式为复数，而意义为单数，谓语动词用单数。如：
The crowd were surrounding the government official.
人群包围了这位政府官员。
Maths is hard to learn.
数学难学。
三、就近原则
就近原则即谓语动词的单复数形式取决于最靠近它的主语。
There is a pen and two pencils on the desk.
桌子上有一支钢笔和两支铅笔。
and连接两个或两个以上单数名词或
代词作主语时，谓语动词有以下两种
情况：
1). and连接两个或两个以上不同的人或
物作主语时，谓语动词用复数。例如：
He and I are both students of this school.
我和他都是这个学校的学生。
Time and tide wait for no man.
岁月不饶人。
2). 如果连接两个或两个以上的并列结构是指同一个人或物，或指同一概念时，谓语动词用单数，这时and后面的名词前不加冠词。
例如：
A).表整体概念的并列结构：
bread and butter knife and fork
iron and steel law and order
B).配套事物：
a watch and chain a needle and thread
The knife and fork is on the desk.
刀叉放在桌子上。
2.主语后面带有with, along with, together with, as well as, besides, like, without, except, including, but 等引导的短语时，谓语动词必须与前面的主语在人称和数上保持一致。例如：
The teacher, together with his students, is planting trees in the garden.
老师和同学们正在花园里种树。
3.如果主语是不定式，动词-ing形式或主语从句时，谓语动词用单数。
What he is doing seems very important.
他正在做什么看起来很重要。
Serving the people is my great happiness.
为人民服务是我最大的幸福。
4. 用连接的并列主语被each, every 或no修饰时，谓语动词用单数。

class is diligent.
班里的每个男孩女孩都很用功。
. Every one of one of each of either of +复数名词作主语，谓语用单数。
Each of the students has a book.
. One of your books is new.
5. each of + 复数代词, 谓语动用单数。
复数代词+ each, 谓语动词用复数。
如：
Each of us has something to say.
We each have something to say.
我们每个人都有些话要说。
6. 不定代词all, more, some, any, none等
作主语时，谓语动词视情况而定。谓语动词可用单数，也可用复数；但当它指代不可数名词时看作单数，谓语动词用单数。
All the apples are rotten.
所有的苹果都烂了。
All the apple is rotten.
整个苹果都烂了。
None of us are /is perfect. 人无完人。
None of the money is left.
一点钱也没剩下。

用单数。

而形复义单的名词如news;以-ics结尾的学科名称如physics, politics, 国名如the United States; 报纸名如the New Times; 书名如Great Expectations(《远大前程》)；以及the United Nations作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
如：
No news is good news.
Great Expectations was written by
Charles Dickens in 1860.
9. 集体名词作主语，谓语动词可用单数，
也可用复数，主要由句子的意思决定。若指一个整体，谓语动词用单数形式；但若指其成员时，谓语动词用复数形式。这类名词有people, family, class, population, crowd, team, ground等。
例如：The family is very big.
Their family are watching TV now.
Chinese people is a hardworking people.
people here are very kind.
10. 有些名词单复数形式相同，作主语时，谓语动词由上下文决定。这类名词有means, deer, sheep, Chinese, Japanese, fish等。如：
Not every means is useful.
并非每种方法都有效。
Not all means are useful.
并非所有的方法都有效。
11. 表示一类人的 “the +形容词(分词)”作主语时，谓语动词用复数。

13. the rest of, half of, majority of, part of, a lot of, lots of, one of, a number of, a plenty of, percent of 以及分数词等作主语时，谓语动词的单复数取决于后面名词的数，即就近原则。如：

部分学生已到了。

这个苹果的一部分被老鼠吃了。
14. 在表存在的there be 句式中，主语是两个或多个并列名词（短语），be的形式与最近的一个名词（短语）保持一致。

books on the desk.
=There are two pencils, a pen and several books on the desk.
=There are several books, a pen and two pencils on the desk.
15. 由here, there等引导的倒装句中，若主语不止一个时，谓语动词与最近的主语保持一致。如：
Here comes the bus.
Here is a pen and two books for you.
16. 用连词 or, either…or, neither…nor,
not only…but also等连接并列主语时，

谓语应该跟主语一致还是跟表语一致?

A. is B. are C. is being D. are being
此题应选B。这里应注意的是：我们通常说的是主谓一致（即谓语与主语保持一致），而不是表谓一致（即不是谓语与表语一致），本题意为：我们中国人是一个勤劳的民族。
注意以下类似例子：
These two dictionaries are a present for my best friend Jim．
The planets were the object of his study．
The most important thing I need is books．
The best part of the meal is the coffee and cookies．
