● Several novels have been written by her.

● Both got the news at the same time.

3．下列名词总是复数形式且谓语动词必须用复数。

trousers, pants（裤子），jeans, glasses, scissors（剪刀），tweezers（镊子），plier（钳子），

scales （天平），compasses（圆规），etc.

● The trousers hereare mine.

别忘了：如果以上名词受 “a pair of” “the pair of”修饰时，谓语动词用单数。

The pair of pants is too dirty.

III．单、复数的灵活运用：

1．当主语由 neither... nor, either... or, not only ... but also 或 or 连接时，谓语动词与nor, or, but also后面的词一致，在英语语法中，这被称之为“就近原则”。

● Neither he nor I am going to the airport.

● Not only Mary but also her parents have gone abroad.

2．当主语前面有 none, all, some, any, most, half, majority等词时，谓语动词则根据主语的具体情况而采用相应的单、复数。
