特别提醒 类似的还有either . . . or,not only . . . but also,not . . . but,以及there be之后的并列主语,谓语动词的确定都根据“就近原则”。
4. this kind of,a piece of,this pair of等短语作主语
①This pair of trousers are very new, but Tom’s trousers are very old. (×)
②This pair of trousers is very new, but Tom’s trousers are very old. (√)
[解析] trousers作主语时,谓语动词用复数,但当它被this pair of修饰时谓语动词由pair的单复数确定。因此第②句正确。
特别提醒 this kind of,a piece of,a bag of,a box of等,这类短语作主语时谓语动词的单复数由这些短语中的名词决定,而与它们所修饰的名词无关。
5. the rest of, half of等短语作主语
①Half of the students have finished most of the work. The rest of it are very difficult. (×)
②Half of the students have finished most of the work. The rest of it is very difficult. (√)
[解析] 根据句意和句子结构可以判断the rest of it中的it,指the work,而work是不可数名词,因此第②句正确。
特别提醒 all of,most of,half of,the rest of,以及a lot of,some,any+名词作主语时,要根据后面的名词确定谓语动词的单复数。
