Question

____( be ) not only the students but also their teacher required to attend the meeting.

考察主谓一致，填 is 还是 are？ 并说明。
答案是Are, 为啥呢

Answer 1

你好，很高兴为你解答。

保证正确率~！

• 正确答案是：

 【 Is 】not only the students but also their teacher required to attend the meeting ?

改为陈述句就是：

 Not only the students but also their teacher 【 is】required to attend the meeting.

【解析】：

你都知道是考主谓一致了， not only....but also 是就近原则，真正的主语是their teacher ，the students只不过是个“陪嫁”的。谓语动词随 their teacher 变化，故填 is 。

不懂请追问，(*^__^*) 嘻嘻~~

望采纳，祝开心~！！！

追问

答案是Are, 为啥呢

追答

答案说是are 就是 are 啊？ 强调的是 the teacher，不是the students。

Answer 2

应该填 is 。

not only ……but also 连接两个主语，谓语动词用就近原则。
即 根据 not only 后面的主语来确定动词的形式。
their teacher 是单数，当然要用is啦。
把本句改为陈述句你就明白了：
Not only the students but also their teacher is required to attend the meeting.
变成一般疑问句就是：
Is not only the students but also their teacher required to attend the meeting？

英语中有就近原则和就远原则，没有听说过楼上所说的“就前原则”。

Answer 3

用单数is not only...but also...连接并列主语谓语判断用“就近原则”，即与离它最近的保持一致。
