三、代词作主语时的主谓一致问题
1. any, either, neither, none, all, some等作 主语时，
主谓一致是指主语和谓语要保持人 称和数上的一致，主语的“人称” 和“数”决定谓语动词的变化。
但是如果主语不是单一的，或主语 名词的数比较特殊时，其主谓一致 一般要根据语法一致＼意义一致＼ 就近原则．
原则
语法 一致 原则
概念
指主语是单数形式，谓 语动词用单数形式； 主语是复数形式，谓语 也用复数形式 指主语形式上为单数． 但表示复数意义，谓语 动词用复数形式； 或主语形式上为复 数．但表示单数意义, 谓语动词用单数形式
• 1）动名词、不定式或从句作主语时，谓语用单数
定语从句的谓语和____________一致。 但what引导的主语从句视后面的表语而定。 • What we need is time. ( be) • What we need are books. ( be) 2) 单复同形的名词，如：means, works等。
