一道语法题,Not only the teacher but also his students like playing football.为什么要加like而不加likes?
这个是考主谓一致的就近原则,谓语的形式由与它最接近的主语而定.not only...but also强调的是后部分,所以主语就为his students.所以like用复数形式.

因为the teacher & his students做共同主语，所以动词用like

要看哪个在前...

en

not only ...but also这个词组用就近原则,就是说哪个主语离动词近动词就根据哪个主语的形式.这里like靠近students当然不用三单形式了.

是STUDENTS 嘛
