3. 主語后接in addition to, with, along with, together with, except, but等介詞

其后的動詞形式取決介詞前主語：

Nothing but trees was to be seen. 除了樹木之外什么也看不見。

No one except my parents knows anything about this. 除我父母之外沒有知道此事。

Jim, together with his classmates, has seen the film. 吉姆和他的同學都看過這部電影。

4. means作主語

名詞means(方法)單數與復數同形，用作主語時，其謂語的單復數要視具體含義而定(尤其注意其前的修飾語)：

These means are very good. 這些方法很好。

Such a means is really unpleasant. 這樣的方法確實是令人不愉快。

若沒有特定的修飾語或語境，則用單數或復數謂語均可：

There is [are] no good means. 沒有好的方法。

Are [Is] there any other means of doing it? 做這事還有其它的什么辦法嗎?
