专升本英语语法考点之就近原则
就近原则,也称“邻近原则”、“就近一致原则”,即谓语与靠近的名词、代词(有时不一定是主语)在人称与数上保持一致的原则。
①在there be句型当中需要使用就近原则,如:There is a pen and two pencils on the desk.
②在either …or与neither…nor句型当中需要使用就近原则,如:Either you or Paul is responsible for this thing.
③在not…but句型当中需要使用就近原则,如:Not you but your father is to blame.
④在not only…but also句型当中需要使用就近原则,如:Not only you but also your sister is lovely.
需要注意的是,在倒装句中,谓语可与后面第一个主语一致。如:In the distance was heard the clapping of hands and the shouts of the people .
