either or就近原则

文/董月

either...or...的就近原则:either...or...连接两个主语时,其谓语动词应与最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致。变成一般疑问句,助动词形式与主语you保持一致。

either or就近原则

1.either“两者当中任何一个”,后有of时接名词的复数形式,无of时接单数名词,动词用单数形式。

2.either…or…“不是……就是……,或者……或者…….”动词与临近的主语保持一致。即 “就近原则”。

Either you or he has to go = Either he or you have to go.

Neither you nor I am right .= Neither I nor you are right.
