问题描述
老师:你好!Many a boy and many a girl 做主语动词用单数还是复数。谢谢!
老师答疑
曾老师:
由 every…and every…; each…and each…; many a … and many a …; no ...and no…等连接单数可数名词构成并列主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。如:
Each boy and each girl works hard. 每个孩子学习都很努力。
Every boy and every girl likes Miss Melville. 每个孩子都喜欢梅尔维尔小姐。
Many a boy and many a girl has seen the cartoons. 很多男孩和女孩都看了这部卡通片。
No boy and no girl is on the playground now. 现在操场上一个孩子也没有。
陈老师:
(1) more than one+单数名词+单数谓语
many a +单数名词+单数谓语; many a +n. and many a+n
More than one /many a +单数名词 作主语,尽管意义上表示许多/很多,但其中心词为单数名词,谓语动词仍用单数形式.
You may find you have more than one strong learning styles ,which is a bonus
Many a scientist has been working on the project.
Many a student and many a teacher is watching an exciting basketball match.
【特别备注:more +复数名词+than one 作主语,谓语动词用复数.】
More members than one are against your plan.
(2) every /each +单数名词+单数谓语
And连接的并列主语时单数概念,且前面有every, each等词修饰时,谓语动词用单数形式.
Every student and every student needs dictionaries.
In our country, each boy and each girl has the right to receive education.
