重点中学英语语法讲义-主谓一致

3. 主语后接in addition to, with, along with, together with, except, but等介词

其后的动词形式取决介词前主语：

Nothing but trees was to be seen. 除了树木之外什么也看不见。

No one except my parents knows anything about this. 除我父母之外没有知道此事。

Jim, together with his classmates, has seen the film. 吉姆和他的同学都看过这部电影。

4. means作主语

名词means(方法)单数与复数同形，用作主语时，其谓语的单复数要视具体含义而定(尤其注意其前的修饰语)：

These means are very good. 这些方法很好。

Such a means is really unpleasant. 这样的方法确实是令人不愉快。

若没有特定的修饰语或语境，则用单数或复数谓语均可：

There is [are] no good means. 没有好的方法。

Are [Is] there any other means of doing it? 做这事还有其它的什么办法吗?
