　　All the machinery in the factory is made in China. 本工厂里的所有机械都是中国制造的，

　　4.不定代词either，neither，ever y，each，one，the other, another以及所有的复合不定代词作主语时，谓语动词只用单数，包括“every/each/no……and every/each/no……”作主语时。

　　如：Every/Each plane and every/each pilot is ready to take off.

　　每架飞机和每个飞行员都已准备好起飞。

　　No plane and no pilot is ready to take off.

　　没有一架飞机、没有一个飞行员已准备好起飞。

　　Here are two books. Either of them is worth reading.

　　这有两本书，都值得一读。

　　Neither of these two dictionaries contains this ward.

　　这两本词典都没收入这个字

　　Everyone is here. No one is absent. 大家都到了，没有人缺席。

　　Somebody is using the phone. 有人在用电话。

　　I have two sisters. One is here, and the other is not here.

　　5. what，who，which，any，mare，some，half，mast，all，none.等代词可以是单数，也可以是复数，主要靠意思决定。但指不可数名词时作单数看待。

　　例如：Which is your book? Which are your books?

　　Here' s same mare (coffee). Here' re same more (tomatoes).

　　None of the books are/is easy enough for us.

　　由Many a或mare than one所修饰的词做主语时，意义上虽然是复数，但谓语动词用单数形式。none在代表不可数的东西时总是看作单数.

　　Mare than one people is against his plan. 不止一个人反对他的计划。

　　6.表示时间、重量、长度、价值等的单位名词，尽管是复数形式，如果作整体看待，动词都用单数形式。如果看作组成该数量的一个一个的个体，则动词用复数。

　　如：Twenty miles is a long way to walk. 走二十英里可是很长的一段路。

　　Ten years is a long time。十年很长。

　　Eight minutes is enough. 八分钟够了。
