His favorite food ____（be) chicken and bread.
The good news _____(be) that his teacher said he was good and mother said he was hard-working.

这两个都怎么填be动词。其根据是什么。说的清楚点。谢谢。

Answer 1

chicken是鸡肉的意思，不可数。第一句chicken and bread，填单数还是复数由前面的chicken决定，这叫做就近性原则。比如
There IS an orange and three apples on the table.
There ARE three apples and an orange on the table.

news是一个不可数的名词,意思是新闻，所以用单数。
news是一个很有意思的词，它是由英文中“北、东、西、南”即"north, east, west, south"四个词的首字母组合而成。另外news也有Never Ending Wonderful Story的意思。
new是一个形容词，不能加s。

考察BE动词的用法就是考察名词的单复数和就进行原则，是很基础的东西，希望你能尽快理解。
