1、当and连结的两个名词是指同一个人或同一件事,and后的名词前没有冠词,
谓语动词应该用单数形式;在and后面的名词前有冠词,谓语就用复数形式。
例如:
1)The
bread
and
butter
is
served
for
breakfast.
(早饭供应黄油面包。)
2)The
bread
and
the
butter
are
on
sale.
(正在出售黄油和面包。)
2、用and连接的单数主语,前面有each,
every,
many
a,
no等修饰时,谓语动词要用单数形式。复数主语与each连用时,应不受each的影响,谓语动词仍用复数形式。
例如:
1)
Each
pen
and
each
paper
is
found
in
its
place.
2)
Every
boy
and
girl
is
treated
in
the
same
way.
3)
Many
a
boy
and
many
a
girl
has
seen
it.
4)
The
old
workers
and
the
young
each
have
their
own
tools.
