Question

Everyone except Tom and JOhn -----there when the meeting began. A is B was C are D more

选什么为什么？答案和everyone有关吗?有语法关系吗？

Answer 1

答案选B was
当句子主语是“A except B”时，谓语动词单复数要以A为主，在这里就是以Everyone 为主，同时Everyone 做主语，谓语动词要用单数，所以这里谓语动词用was。

Answer 2

was ,选B
except tom and john 相当于插入语，不作句子成分，
主要是看except，
然后句子的主语依旧是everyone ,

你应该可以理解的哦

Answer 3

B was
everyone谓语单数

Answer 4

tom
and
john
are
friendly
to
each
other.
make
friends
的意思是做朋友，后面应该接with，显然，这里不能有make
friends
be
friendly
to
的意思是对……友好。句子的主语是tom
and
john，所以这里要用复数，are
