Question

everything、something、nothing、everyone、someone、no one。。。做主语时，谓语动词是单数还是复数？

我记得应该是当做单数，可是昨天又学到none 做主语时可以看做单数或者复数，为什么这样呢，好纠结啊。。。

Answer 1

一般的 -thing，-body，-one后面都是用单数的。
而对于none，all，every，most，下面有个总结：
1.None of
None the work was done. 后接单数名词跟单数谓语动词.
None of these clocks workS. 正式的英国英语
None of these clocks work. 非正式
None of the group IS at work. 正式.
None of the group are at work. 非正式.
也就是说,应试中,none of 跟单数可靠.
2. all of
接复数名词\代词
All my friends like swimming.
All of my friends like swimming.
All of us like wimming.
All of the books are interesting.
All the books are interesting.
Not all of the books are interesting.
接单数/不可数名词
All of the food has gone bad.
3.every
Every + 名词, evey one of +代词/the 名词S,
总是跟单数谓语动词.
4.most
most of , 后面接名词时,名词前必须有限定词,比如, his, this, the,those
most of 的前面,不能用the, 即the most of 是错误的.
Most of us like English.
Most of the students like English.
Most of his money was spent.
most of 后所跟的位于动词的数,取决其后接的名词/代词的数.
