Day 20 ：主谓一致

主谓一致的定义：

         主语和谓语在人称和单复数上的一致、时态一致、名词和其代词一致。谓语动词的形势必须随着主语单复数形势的变化而变化。

主谓一致三原则：

1. 语法一致；
2. 意思一致；
3. 就近原则：几个名词一起作句子的主语时，谓语动词的形式取决于离它最近的名词。

              e.g.：There is a desk and five chairs in his room.

                        Tom or his sisters are coming.

难点精析：

1. and 前后有 every、each、no时，谓语动词用单数形式
2. 主语后面有“with结构”，谓语采用“就远原则”，因为with后面是后置定语。谓语应该和核心名词保持单复数一致。与with类似采用就远原则的还有：along with， together with，besides，including，rather than，as well as。e.g.: All the books except this one were published by our company.  
3. 动名词、不定式、名词性从句作主语时，谓语动词用单数。 e.g.: Cleaning the window is my job. What she said is not true.
4. 某些名词指“整体”时，谓语动词用单数；指“成员”时，谓语动词用复数。e.g. Our family is a happy one. The family are having dinner together.
5. 表时间、距离、金钱、度量衡作整体时，谓语动词用单数；表“若干”时，作复数。
