连词or与主谓一致

 

这类并列主语中谓语应与哪个保持一致?你知道吗?

■You or he __________ to blame.

■_________ you or he to blame?

A. is,Is                B. are,Are            C. is,Are               D. are,Is

此题应选C。在通常情况下,两个并列主语由or,either...or,neither...nor,not...but,not only...but (also)等连接时,其谓语通常与第二个主语(即临近的一个主语) 保持一致:

1. One or two days _________ enough to see the city.

A. is                      B. are                     C. am                     D. be

2. Neither my wife nor I myself _________ able to persuade my daughter to change her mind.

A. is                      B. are                     C. am                     D. be

3. Not only I but also Jane and Mary __________ tired of having one examination after another.

A. is                      B. are                     C. am                     D. be

4. Not the teacher,but the students _________ looking forward to seeing the film.

A. is                      B. are                     C. am                     D. be

注意在疑问句中则通常与第一个主语 (即临近的一个主语)保持一致:

a. You or he is to blame. 你或他有一人要受责备。

b. Are you or he to blame? 受责备的是你还是他?

顺便说一句,在现代英语中用neither...nor,either...or等连接主语时也可一律用复数(但考生在应试时应避免)。
