就近原则,顾名思义,就是以近处的主语为主。在There be 句型中出现两个及以上的主语时,Be动词的选择就应该以较接近的主语为主。There be句型的就近原则是There be句型中be动词的单复数形式由后面挨近的一项的单复数决定。
如:There is a pen,two books and many pencils on the desk.在本句中尽管有钢笔、书和铅笔,但是由于离be动词最近的一项是单数a pen,因此,be动词用单数is。
又如:有一本书和三只猫.there is a book and three cats.反过来,有三只猫和一本书.there are three cats and a book.
当名词在be动词前,要整体考虑;当名词在be动词后,则要采取就近原则。
扩展资料:
另外,英语中有一些句子要遵循就近原则,常见提示词有there be句型,either...or , neither...nor , not only...but also
例句:There is a book and some pencils on the desk.还有的句子要遵循就远原则,常见提示词有with、alone with、together with、as well as、besides、like、without、except, but 、including、rather...than、in addition to、apart from。
