Question

Professor Peter和他的四个学生,后面用are没错啊,为什么用is呢?
Professor Peter, with four of his students, are attending a symposium in Nanjing on energy.
A B C D
B, are----is

Answer 1

改成这样你就明白了：
Professor Peter is attending a symposium in Nanjing on energy, with four of his students.
这是主谓一致经常考的题目.
主语是Professor Peter
with four of his students可以看成定语
谓语就是单数了.
类似：
The boss with four boys is coming tonight.
