题目

主谓一致的一个问题.more than one用谓语单数,那More than two呢?回答后注明肯定程度
主谓一致有参考书写到：
（5）作主语的单数名词前有more than one,many a等修饰时,虽表示复数概念,但谓语动词仍用单数形式.如：
- Many a young man was sent to the mountainous areas.
- More than one student has failed the exam.
另：one and a half后跟名词复数,谓语动词仍用单数形式.如：
- One and a half bananas is left on the table.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
我想问一下如果作主语的“复”数名词前有more than one,many a等修饰时,谓语动词单数还是复数?比如说：More than two students ____(have/has/其它) failed the exam.

答案

用have,它主要看的是students,而more than one,many a后面只能跟单数名词,此时用单数,谓语的单复数主要看主语名词,不要混淆呀~~~
