Question

many a 的用法

Many a boy and many a girl______it since then.

A. have seen B. has seen

这个句子选A还是B，为甚麽？

Answer 1

选 B“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)

many a 后面接可数名词的单数，意思是许多，但是后面的谓语动词应该用三单形式。 

如 Many a student likes reading.许多学生喜欢读书。

拓展资料：

只加可数的复数：a great many （of） 

1. a good/great many books

a good/great many of my books

a  number of=many

2.+不可数名词 ：a great deal of ，an amount of=amounts of 

3.+不可数名词/可数的复数 ：a lot of，plenty of (前不加a)，a large quantity of加不可数名词
单数谓语 quantities of 加不可数名词,复数谓语。

Answer 2

many 和 many a 在意思上都是"很多"的意思,但是many a
强调个体,即"每一个".它的谓语动词用单数.
本题选 A ,因为有两个many a,即相当于两个.

Answer 3

1、“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”)。
2、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)。

3、因此句子选A。

Answer 4

选 A
第一、“many a+单数可数名词”若用作主语，即谓语用单数。
如 Many a student likes reading.许多学生喜欢

第二、但此处有and 连接两个单数，即为复数意义。
如Maria and Michael are studying at the classroom.

综上，此答案为A. 既考了many a 的谓语形式要用单数，又设置了and这个陷阱。
