二、Basic部分：

Chapter 1: 单复数

1.Additive Phrases:

Along with Polly、In addition to surgery、Accompanied by me together with a tie、As well as the mayor

Only the word and can change a singular subject into a plural one. Singular subjects followed by additive phrases remain singular subjects.

2.Or, Either or, Neither n or:

Neither the players nor the coach is going to the beach.

Find the nearest to the verb.

Note that when the words either or neither are in a sentence alone (without or or nor), they are considered singular and take only singular verbs.

3.Collective Nouns: Almost Alway s Singular

People: agency, a rmy, audience, class, committee, crowd, orchestra, team

Items: baggage, citrus, equipment, fleet, fruit, furniture

In some rare circumstances, collective nouns can be considered plural (e.g., when you emphasize the individual actors, not their unity). However, on the GMAT, collective nouns are almost always considered singular and therefore require singular verb forms.

Note:in British usage, many of these nouns are normally considered plural.Not so on the GMAT!

The CROWD in the stands IS cheering loudly as the home TEAM TAKES the field.

Our ARMY of a hundred thousand soldiers IS attacking the enemy.

Each collective noun (crowd, team, and army) takes a singular verb form.

4.Indefinite Pronouns:不定代词Usually Singular

Anyone, anybody, anything, no one, nobody, nothing, each, every (as pronouns) someone, somebody, something, everyone, everybody, everything, whatever, whoever, either, neither (may require a plural verb if paired with or/nor)

Technically,none of + plural noun can take either a singular or a plural verb form. But not one is alway s singular: Not one of my friends IS here this weekend.

5.Each and Every: Singular Sensations

但是，Note that each following a subject has no bearing on the verb form.

They each are great tennis players.

Here, the plural subject they requires the plural verb form are.

Chapter 3:

1.
