Question

many a boy and a girl 单数还是复数

many a boy and many a girl 我知道用复数 那这个哪

Answer 1

用单数 ，楼上的全在放屁，不懂装懂！many a ...and many a ...是一个固定结构，相当于every ...and every...,each ...and each ...。

Answer 2

many a boy表示复数 但是要用单数

这有2个 所以复数

Answer 3

还是复数。
many a 算一个 +a 算一个。
最终还是用复数。

Answer 4

用复数，这里有两个many a，相当于是复数。
“many a＋单数可数名词”形式上为单数，但意义上为复数(意为“许多”)，若用作主语，其谓语通常与形式一致而不与意义一致(即谓语用单数)。如：
Many a student has seen the film. 许多学生看过这部电影。
Many a fine man has died in that battle. 许多优秀的士兵死于那次战役。
Many a ship has been wrecked on those rocks. 许多船只毁于那些礁石之上。
Many a young man has tried and failed. 很多年轻人都试过，而且失败了。
Many a successful store has paid its rent cheerfully. 许多成功的店铺都非常乐意地付了房租。
注：“many a＋单数名词”是一个非正式的结构，在口语或非正式文体中一般都用 many＋复数名词”代之。
