就近原则和就远原则

sarahlee

所谓就近/就远原则是指句子的主语结构很复杂时,如何判断句子谓语的数的问题.

1. 就近原则: there/here + be/系动词，either...or...，neither...nor...，not only...but(also)...，not...but...，分数/百分数修饰名词（population类外），表许多的名词（除了quantity）

2. 就远原则：as well as, (together/along) with, rather than, except/besides/but/including

如： Not only you but also I am right. （近）

     2/3 of the earth is covered by water. （近）

     Many a student in our school has never been abroad. （近）

     He rather than I is right. （远）

     Nobody but two students is in the classroom.　（远）
