A or B +v的谓语动词单复数？若A、B为不可数名字呢

A do sth as B do。。这个句型的 do 是不是放在B 之前也可以啊。有没有什么特别的规定。

being在什么情况下是对的？感觉都没见过对的情况啊。。

求求求。

Being对。OG13有，自己翻吧。

OG 12-101 的 being 的使用是正确的。
简单来说：
being用来表达特性或者特征，身份之类，就是错误选项。

you should eliminate "being".
the answer to that question is, ROUGHLY, that you should avoid "being" when expressing the IDENTITY or CHARACTERISTICS of some individual or thing. this is because "being" is usually unnecessary in such cases; there are simpler modifiers (such as appositives) that, while absolutely impossible to use in spoken language, are better in written language.
example:
being a cigar aficionado, john has strong opinions on when to use single-guillotine cigar cutters rather than double-guillotine cutters. --> bad.
a cigar aficionado, john has strong opinions on when to use single-guillotine cigar cutters rather than double-guillotine cutters. --> good. notice that we can simply omit the "being" here.

so, to sum up:
if "being" expresses IDENTITY or CHARACTERISTICS, then kill it.
otherwise, evaluate it on the same merits as you would any other verb.

同时being 正确的时候：
（1）作为被动语态的一部分（即被动语态 -ing）
（2）being 作为动名词使用（就像og 12-101 E）

Being usage-Ron:
the short answer to this question: basically, "being" is ok when there are no acceptable alternative formulations that DON'T use it.

from what we've seen, "being" can be ok as long as at least one of the following 2 conditions obtains:

(1) it is part of a PASSIVE-VOICE construction (note that such constructions require a form of "to be", so, if the passive voice is in the -ing form, that form will manifest as "being");
or
(2) it is used as a GERUND (i.e., the action of "being something" is treated as a NOUN in the sentence).
most, but not all, of these gerunds will be the gerund form of a construction in the passive voice.

examples: (the first one i made up; the other three are correct answers to official problems)

Being followed by paparazzi 24 hours a day has caused many celebrities to become extremely hostile to strangers. (source: i made this up on the spot)
(note that this is both --> it's a passive-voice gerund!)

During the 1950s, as part of their therapy, young polio victims learning to live with their disabilities were helped to practice falling, so that they could learn to fall without being hurt. (source: gmat prep)
(again, passive voice gerund)

According to one expert, the cause of genetic irregularities in many breeds of dog is not so much that dogs are being bred for looks or to meet other narrow criteria as that the breeds have relatively few founding members. (source: gmat prep)
(passive; not gerund)

Being heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has worked well in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipient trouble or misinterpret them when they do appear. (source: gmat prep; also in the OG verbal supplement)
(gerund; not passive)

A or B就近原则。A do sth as B do就那样就行。根据主语人称和时代自己选择用does或者did就好吧~~being有对的，不过很少，能不用就不用。

同问一下A or B + V的单复数问题。。。

另：A do sth as B do如果B do后面没有东西的时候，若B是个很长的名词，可以把do提前
举例证明：同样考比较的Prep-2-174
An exceptionally literate people, more Icelanders publish books per capita than do the people of any other nation.
A. more Icelanders publish books per capita than do the people of
B. more Icelandic books are published by Icelanders per capita than by the people of
C. Icelanders publish more books per capita than do the people of
D. Iceland’s per capita publication of books is higher than that by
E. the per capita publication of Icelandic books is higher than that in
正确选项为C，do提前了
小朋友乱入，要是说错了轻拍啊。。。
