Every boy and every girl has the right to receive education.男孩和女孩都有受教育的权利。

(3)复数主语与each连用时，不受each的影响，谓语动词仍用复数形式。
The old workers and the young each have their own tools.每一位年老的和年轻的工人都有自己的工具。
3．主语＋介词(短语)：with，except，as well as，no less than，rather than，more than，over，besides，together with，like，including，in addition to等连接的是名词时，谓语以介词(短语)前的主语为准，不受介词后的名词的影响。
My mother，as well as my father，has a key to the office.不仅我的父亲，我母亲也有办公室的钥匙。
The man together with his wife and children sits there watching TV.这个人和他的妻子、孩子坐在那儿看电视。

9．在定语从句中，关系代词that，who，which等作主语时，其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数保持一致。
People who study the earthquake think that there will be another big one soon.研究地震的人认为不久还会有一次大的地震。
The horse which is tied to the tree belongs to John.拴在树上的那匹马是约翰的。
注意在“one of＋复数名词＋who/which/that引导的定语从句”中，若关系代词在定语从句中充当主语，谓语动词常用复数；若one前有the(only/very/right)修饰时，定语从句的谓语动词用单数。
She is one of the engineers who are experts in German.她是精通德语的工程师中的一个。
He was the only one of the boys who was given a prize.他是这些孩子中惟一得奖的一个。
二、意义一致原则即谓语动词的单复数形式由主语的意义而不是形式所决定。
1．有些集合名词，如crowd，family，team，orchestra(管弦乐队)，group，government，committee，class，school，union，firm，staff，public等作主语时，谓语动词的数要根据其包含的意义而定。
如果把它们作为一个集体单位时，谓语动词用单数形式，如就其中的各个成员来说，则谓语动词用复数形式。
The crowd are gone.群众都散了。
His family are very well.他的家人非常健康。
2．有的名词如police，cattle，people，clothes，trousers等没有单数形式，作主语时，谓语只能用复数；而有的名词则是单、复数形式相同，如sheep，aircraft，means等，作主语时，就必须根据意思来确定其谓语的单、复数形式。
Shortly after the accident，the police were sent to keep order.事故发生不久，警察就被派去维持秩序。
Cattle were allowed to graze in this area.允许牲畜在这个地区吃草。
One day this white sheep was lost.有一天，这只白绵羊丢了。
3．当maths(mathematics)，politics，physics等学科名词作主语时，谓语用单数；但前有物主代词修饰，指某人的某方面知识时，谓语用复数。
Politics is a complicated subject.政治是一门复杂的学科。
His politics are very radical.他的政治观点很激进。
4．用作书名、剧名、报名、国名、地区名称的复数名词作主语时，谓语用单数。
