Question

英语语法求救
______ singer and______dancer are coming tonight.
A,A,a B.A,/ C,The ,a D,The ,/
本题到底怎么区别啊?
_____ worker and _____ writer has accepted the invitation.
是用the还是a呢？

Answer 1

此题是考查主谓一致的用法：
由and连接的两个单数名词作主语时,一般用复数形式,但and所连接的并列主语是同一个人,事物,或概念时,谓语动词用单数.这两种情况区分如下：a/the+单数名词+and+单数名词,指的是同一个人或物；a/the+单数名词+and+a/the+单数名词,指两个人或物.
The writer and teacher is coming.那位作家兼教师来了.(作家和教师指同一个人)
The writer and the teacher are coming.作家和老师来了.(作家和老师是两个人)
所以做这种题的关键是看有几个冠词或者看谓语动词的数来确定.
第一题根据are coming 应该选出A.
第二题根据has accepted 来断定前面用一个冠词the来特指双方都知道的那个工人兼作家.
