主謂一致

men of this kind和these kinds of men的謂語用復數。all kinds of后跟復數名詞，謂語用復數形式。例如：
men of this kind are dangerous.
this kind of men is dangerous.
10)復數形式的單、復數同形名詞作主語時，按意義一致的原則，作單數意義時，謂語用單數；反之，謂語用復數。這類名詞有means(方法)，works(工廠)，species(種類)，chinese，japanese等。例如：
the (this) glass works was set up in l970.
(這家玻璃廠建于1970年。)
the(these)glass works are near the railway station.
(這些玻璃廠在火車站附近。)
當它們前面有a，such a，this，that修飾時，謂語用單數；有all，such，these，those修飾時，謂語用復數。但“means\"，“no means\"，“the means\"等詞前沒有以上修飾詞時，可作單數，也可用作復數。
注：work作“工作”解時是不可數名詞，作“著作”解時是可數名詞，有單復數之分。
11)如果名詞詞組中心詞是all，most；half，rest，part等詞語，表示的是復數意義，謂語動詞用復數形式；反之，用單數。例如：
all of the water is gone。
all of my classmates work hard.
12)在主謂倒裝的句子中，謂語動詞的數應與其后的主語一致。如：
between the two windows hangs a picture.
b)由連接詞連接的名詞作主語
13)用and或both...and連接并列主語，謂語動詞通常用復數形式。例如：
walking and riding are good exercises.
plastics and rubber never rot.
但是，并列主語如果指的，是同一個人、同一事物或同一概念，謂語動詞用：單數形式，這時，and后面的名詞沒有冠詞。例如：
a knife and fork is on the table.
going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit.
the girl\'s teacher and friend is a young doctor.
truth and honesty is the best policy。
14)當主語后面跟有as well as，as much as，no less than, along with，with, like，rather than，together with，but，except，besides，including，in addition to等引導的詞組時，其謂語動詞的單、復數按主語的單、復數而定。例如：
the room with its furniture was rented.
the teacher as well as the students was excited.
15)以or，either...，neither...nor，not only…but also等連接的名詞(代詞)作主語，謂語動詞的單復數應根據就近一致的原則。例如：
neither you nor i nor anybody else knows anything about it
either you or he is to go.
tom or his brothers are waiting in the room.
c)代詞作主語.’
16)名詞型物主代詞后的動詞，既可以用單數，也可以用復數，這取決于它所代替的是單數還是復數。例如：
ours(our party) is a great party.
our shoes are black，mine (=my shoes) are brown.
17)such，the same起指示代詞作用時，應根據其所指的內容來決定單、復數。例如：
such are his words.such is our plan.
8)關系代詞who，that，which等在定語從句中作主語時，其謂語動詞的數應與句中先行詞的數一致。例如：
some of the energy that is used by man comes from the sun.
