一、就近原則:又稱“就近一致原則”,是指謂語(yǔ)與靠近的名詞、代詞在“人稱、數(shù)”上保持一致。
主要有以下幾種情況:
1. there be 句型中,謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要與靠be動(dòng)詞較近的名詞或代詞保持一致。
2. 由either...or..., neither...or..., not only...but also...等連接的并列成分作主語(yǔ)時(shí),其謂語(yǔ)通常要與靠近的主語(yǔ)保持一致。
二、就遠(yuǎn)原則:當(dāng)用作主語(yǔ)成分后面跟有以下這些詞引出短語(yǔ)時(shí),謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞習(xí)慣上要與這些結(jié)構(gòu)前面的主語(yǔ)保持一致。(即與比較遠(yuǎn)的那個(gè)主語(yǔ)保持一致)
