**四、简答题**

26. 解释为什么"Many a + 单数名词"结构后的谓语动词用单数形式。

   **回答:**

   "Many a + 单数名词"结构表示"许多"或"多个"的意思，虽然它包含复数概念，但为了强调个体性，谓语动词通常使用单数形式。

27. 当主语是"the number of + 名词复数"时，谓语动词应如何选择？

   **回答:**

   当主语是"the number of + 名词复数"时，表示的是数量的多少，因此谓语动词用单数形式。

28. 如何理解"and"连接的两个名词，有时谓语动词用单数，有时用复数？

   **回答:**

   当"and"连接的两个名词表示同一概念或成对出现时（如fork and knife），谓语动词用单数。如果它们各自独立，表示两个不同的个体，则谓语动词用复数。
