　　【歸納總結】

　　“主謂一致”三原則

　　(1)語法一致原則

　　意義一致原則是指從意義著眼來解決主謂一致問題。有時主語形式上為單數，但意義上卻是復數，那么謂語根據意義也用復數形式；而有時主語形式上為復數，但意義上卻是單數，那么謂語根據意義亦用單數形式。如有些集合名詞，如public，goverment，family，class，team，group等。

　　(3)就近原則

　　就近原則是指謂語動詞的人稱和數常常與其鄰近的名詞或代詞保持一致。常出現在這類句子中的有or，either...or，neither...nor，not only...but also，not... but等。
