在英语中，句子的主语和谓语动词要保持人称和数上的一致关系，这就叫主谓一致。下面结合实例，简要分析一下这个知识点。 一、语法一致原则 1． Vegetables sold at this shop usually fresh.
A. is B. are
分析：主语为复数，谓语用复数，故选B项。
2. The bread and the butter in that shop.
A. was sold out B. were sold out
分析：and或both… and 连接的并列主语，谓语用复数，故选B项。
3． A knife and fork on the table.
A. is B. are
分析：主语是and连接的两个词，它们在意义上指同一人、同一物、同一事、同一概念时，谓语用单数，故选A项。
4． No teacher and no student here just now.
A. is B. are
分析：由and连接的两个单数名词作主语，前面有every,each或no修饰时，谓语用单数，故选A项。
5． Everything well with me.
A. go B. goes
分析：some，any，no，every与body，one和thing构成的复合不定代词作主语时，谓语用单数，故选B项。
6． I as well as you a football fan.
A. am B. are
分析：主语中含有with，along with，together with，as well as，but，except，like等引导的词语时，谓语与第一个主语一致。此题的第一个主语为I，故选A项。
7． Neither of your two answers correct.
A. is B. are
分析：each,every,neither,either作主语或主语的修饰成分时，谓语用单数，故选A项。
8. There plenty of time.
A. is B. are
分析：a lot of，lots of，plenty of 及分数等修饰的名词作主语时，谓语视名词而定，若名词是单数或不可数名词，谓语用单数；若名词是复数，谓语也要用复数。time为不可数名词，故本题选A项。
9. This pair of trousers too long for me.
A. is B. are
分析：“this pair of+复数名词”或“this kind of+单数名词/复数名词”作主语时，谓语用单数，故选A项。
二、意义一致原则
1． The police the murderer.
A. has arrested B. have arrested
分析：people,cattle,police等集体名词作主语时，谓语用复数，故选B项。
2． My family all music.
A. loves B. love
分析：family, group, class, team, army, public等集体名词作主语时，谓语视情况而定，若这些词表示整体意义，谓语用单数；若表示其成员时，谓语用复数，故选B项。
3． The young usually very active.
A. is B. are
分析：“the+形容词”表示一类人，谓语用复数，故选B项。

5． The Arabian Nights a very interesting storybook.
A. is B. are
分析：书刊名称、组织名称、国家名称、格言等作主语时，谓语用单数。此题的主语为书名，故选A项。
6. Most of the wood to make furniture.
A. was used B. were used
分析：most, all, half, the rest等不定代词作主语或作主语的修饰成分时，需视情况而定。若后接不可数名词，谓语用单数；若后接复数名词，谓语用复数。此题wood为不可数名词，所以谓语用单数，故选A项。
三、就近原则
1． Either you or I able to attend the lecture.
A. is B. am
分析：由either…or,neither…nor, not only…but (also),not…but,or 等连接主语时，谓语与邻近它的那个主语一致。此题邻近的主语为I,故谓语为am，选B项。
2． Not only the earth but also the planets
round the sun.
A. move B. moves

3． There a dictionary and some books
on the desk.
A. is B. are

四、其它情况

分析：many a 意为“许多”，但“many a+单数名词”作主语时，谓语用单数，故选A项。
