斑竹MM 这个帖子的说法好像和你的有一定的矛盾http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=37453 好像也有一定的道理，不知道应该如何了

看了上面那个帖子去查阅了一下语法书，也看了一下新东方教材，我感觉如果是由each 或者every构成的复合代词作主语（就好像这一题中every 32 pupils）谓语应该用单数。因为在这里every 32pupils是一个整体概念。

但是如果是32 pupils each have a computer。这里的谓语要用复数形式，因为这里的each是个同位语。主语还是32 pupils. 以下是引用语法书解释，大家可以参考一下~~

代词each和由every, some, no, any等构成的复合代词作主语，或主语中含有each, every, 谓语需用单数。

对于这道题，我也同意你说的。

但是，主语如果是一个整体概念时，谓语就应该用单数吗？在OG107里，好像说法不是很一样，是吗？

107. Downzoning, zoning that typically results in the reduction of housing density, allows for more open space in areas where little water or services exist.

(A) little water or services exist

(B) little water or services exists

(C) few services and little water exists

(D) there is little water or services available

(E)  there are few services and little available water

The adjective little modifies "mass nouns" (e.g., water), which refer to some undifferentiated quantity; the adjective few modifies "count nouns" (e.g., services), which refer to groups made up of distinct members that can be considered individually. Hence, choices A, B, and D are incorrect because little cannot properly modify services. Also, since water and services are being discussed as a pair, they should logically be treated as a compound subject requiring a plural verb; thus, the singular verbs exists (in B and C) and is (in D) are wrong. Choice E is best: the plural verb are is used, and few correctly modifies services.

番茄，可以分析一下吗？谢谢了。

不好意思，冒充番茄来试着分析一下：

查了一下张道真语法：

1.如果有两个或者更多的主语时，动词一般和最近的一个保持一致

eg：There was a sofa and two armchairs.

2.在主语前有a number of . a lot of . a few等数量词时，动词仍和主语保持一致。

eg: There are a lot of doves on the squre.

结合以上两点，E选项中be动词与services保持一致，所以是are

选除答案e没有问题

但我遵循下面四个原则(薄冰语法):

1.little只能修饰不可数名词如water ,services是可数名词不能由little修饰排除a,b,d

2.c用and连接改变原句or的原意,另外and连接两个事物谓语动词用复数,除非the n1 and n2的情况.排除c

3.there be 主语是and连接的两个名词时,谓语就近一致

4.or连接两个名词做主语时,谓语就近一致

但第四条与og相背Also, since water and services are being discussed as a pair, they should logically be treated as a compound subject requiring a plural verb; og的意思时把water和service看成一对,因此逻辑的被当作复合主语对待,因此要求谓语用复数动词,但是薄冰语法说or连接两个名词做主语时,谓语就近一致也就是说water or services exist 对/ water or services exists错

在人屋檐下不得不低头,看来要按复合名词做主语谓语用复数来判定了

问个没讨论过的……

(D) every thirty-two pupils now have one microcomputer, four times as many than there were（C）

(E) every thirty-two pupils now has one microcomputer, four times as many as

单从主谓一致的角度，哪个对啊？？

have

every   adj.   每...之中，中心词为pupils

这题又想不同了，为什么OG解释E选项时说Choices D and E reorder and garble the “one X...” construction, making four times as many refer illogically to pupils. 为什么不是就近修饰microcomputer呢？谢谢大家！

I have the same question.
