| 毗邻一致(就近原则) 1、由连词or, neither…or, either…or, not only … also, nor等连接的并列主语,谓语动词的单复数形式按毗邻一致的原则,与贴近它的主语一致。例如:
 Either you or he is no telling the truth. 不是你就是他没讲真话。
 Not only the switches but also the old wiring has been changed.不仅开关,连那些老化了电路都已经更换了。
 2、在there be 的结构中,谓语动词的单复数形式一般也采取就近原则。例如:
 There is a desk and four benches in the office. 办公室有一张桌子,四条长凳。
 There are two chairs and a desk in the office. 办公室有两把椅子一张桌子。
