主谓一致的问题需要注意以下几点：

●如果主语是单数而后面跟有with, together with, along with, combined with, as well as, in addition to, more than, no less than, rather than, like, but, except等词引起的短语，谓语动词用单数。

●如果主语是and连接的两个单数名词且前面有every, each, no等不定代词修饰时，谓语动词用单数。

●“many a/more than one/the number of /neither of/either of + 名词”做主语时，谓语用单数。

●由and连接两个名词做主语，其后面的名词若不加冠词，常指一个人或事物，谓语动词用单数。

●以-ics结尾的名词表示一门学科时，谓语动词用单数。

●由并列连词or, either…or…, neither…nor…, not only…but also…, nor等连接的两个名词（或代词），谓语形式应采用邻近的原则，即谓语与邻近主语一致。

           ●表示度量（金钱、重量、容积、时间）等复数名词做主语时，常看作一个整体，谓语动词用单数形式。
