　　　 [指点迷津]

“主谓一致”最基本的原则是：单数主语用单数谓语动词；复数主语用复数谓语动词。但在实际运用中情况比较复杂，现将同学们常犯的错误归纳如下：

◆each作主语的同位语时，谓语动词由主语决定。

◆half of, the rest of, most of, all of及“百分数或分数+of”等后接名词作主语时，谓语动词的单复数取决于of后的名词。

◆all作主语，常表示可数的人或物。作“所有的人或物”讲时，谓语动词用复数；作“一切”讲时，谓语动词用单数。

◆主语后有with, together with, like, except, but, as well as 等引起的短语时，谓语动词与前面的主语保持一致。

◆people, police等集体名词作主语，谓语动词用复数。family, class, group, team等集体名词作主语，若强调一个整体，谓语动词用单数；若强调具体成员，谓语动词用复数。

◆表示度量、价格、时间、长度等的复数名词或词组作主语时，谓语动词用单数。

◆由Here / There开头的句子，其主语不止一个时，谓语动词通常与邻近的主语保持一致。

◆“a number of +复数名词”作主语，谓语动词用复数；“the number of +复数名词”作主语，谓语动词用单数。
