■不定代詞one, no one, the other, another, anyone, anybody, someone, somebody, everyone, everybody, nobody, anything, something, everything, nothing, each, either 以及被each, every修飾的名詞做主語，盡管有些表達復數(shù)意義，但是，它們的謂語應該用單數(shù)形式。如：

Is everybody here today? 大家都到齊了嗎？

Neither (book) is good. 兩本書都不好。

None knows the weight of another’s burden. 見人挑擔不吃力。

注：neither, none做主語時，口語中或非正式文字中，謂語動詞通常用復數(shù)，正式的書面語中用單數(shù)。如：

Are/Is neither of the teams playing this week? 這個星期兩個隊中有哪一個隊要進行比賽？

None of them has/have been to the Great Wall. 他們中沒有一個人去過長城。

不過，none作主語，其表語是單數(shù)，謂語用單數(shù)；表語是復數(shù)，謂語則用復數(shù)。

■在定語從句中，當關系代詞 who, which或 that做主語時，從句中的謂語動詞應該與先行詞保持一致。如：

The teacher who teaches us English is from England. 教我們英語的教師是英國人。

Are these the books that were bought yesterday? 這些就是昨天買的書嗎？

I, who am a new teacher, will teach you English. 我，一個新教師，將教你們英語。

■“one of+名詞復數(shù)”后面的定語從句， 謂語動詞應該用復數(shù)；而“the (only) one of + 名詞復數(shù)”后面的定語從句的謂語應該用單數(shù)形式。如：

He is one of the students that have passed the exam 他是通過了考試的學生之一。

He is the (only) one of the students that has passed the exam. 他就是通過考試的那個學生。

■某些集體名詞，如family, audience, class, club, company, crew, enemy, government, group, party, public, team等作主語時，如果作為一個整體看待，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式，如果就其中一個個成員而言，謂語動詞用復單數(shù)形式。如：

My family are all fond of going to the cinema. 我全家都愛看電影。

The family is rather big, with twelve people in all. 這個家庭很大，總共有12個人。

■當表示時間、距離、金額等度量的復數(shù)名詞作主語，把它看作一個整體時，謂語動詞一般用單數(shù)。如：

Surely 15 minutes is enough time for you to have a coffee. 你喝杯咖啡15分鐘當然足夠了。

但若與pass, go by, spend, waste等連用時，謂語動詞用復數(shù)。如：

Six months have passed, and we still have no news of them. 六個月過去了，我們依然沒有他們的消息
