【主谓一致三大原则】
1) 语法形式上要一致,即单复数形式与谓语要一致。一般来说,不可数名词及可数名词单数作主语用动词单数,可数名词复数作主语用动词复数。例如:
There is much milk in the bottle.
My books are on the desk.
A computer is enough for me.
2) 意义上要一致,即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致。
Our family are watching TV. 我们家(成员)在看电视。
3) 就近原则,即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语,
Not only she but also her brother is to blame for the broken cup.
【主谓一致注意点】
【1】以单数名词或代词动词不定式短语,动名词短语或从句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式;主语为复数时,谓语动词用复数形式。 例如:

When and where to hold the meeting has not been decided yet.
His father is working on the farm.
To study English well is not easy.
Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes.
What he said is very important for us all.
【注意】由what引导的主语从句,后面的谓语动词多数情况用单数形式,但若表语是复数或what从句是一个带有复数意义的并列结构时,主句的谓语动词用复数形式。
what I bought were three English books.
What I say and do is (are) helpful for you.
【2】由连接词and或both…and连接起来的主语后面,要用复数形式的谓语动词。例如:

Reading and writing are very important. 读写很重要。
Both Tom and Lily are my classmates.
【注意1】当主语由and连结时,如果它表示一个单一的概念,即指同一人或同一物时,谓语动词用单数,and 此时连接的两个词前只有一个冠词。例如:
A teacher and writer is going to give us a lecture.一个既是老师又是作家的人会给我们作演讲。
The doctor and scientist is conducting an experiment. 那个医生兼科学家的人在做实验。
【比较】
A teacher and a writer are coming to our school. 一个医生及一个老师会来我们学校。
The doctor and the scientist are conducting an experiment together. 那个医生和那个科学家在一起做一个实验。
【注意2】由and 连接的并列单数主语前如果分别有no, each, every 或more than a (an)/one, many a (an) 修饰时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。
