解析:

11. Every + n and every +n ; Each + n and each +n ; No + n and no +n 作主語時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。

12. each of + 復數(shù)代詞作主語，謂語動用單數(shù)。復數(shù)代詞+each作主語，謂語動詞用復數(shù)。

13. all 作為主語，代表人物時，一般用作復數(shù)；代表整個事件或情況時，一般看作單數(shù)。

14. “the+ 形容詞/-ed分詞”，表示一類人時，謂語動詞用復數(shù)形式；表示一類事物時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。如：The good in him outweighs the bad.

15.分數(shù)（百分數(shù)）/ all / some / none / half / most+ of + n 做主語，謂語動詞根據(jù)of后的名詞來確定。

16. 英語中有一些由兩個部分組成的物體名稱通常是以-s結尾，如shoes, scissors(剪子)，pincers(鉗子)，glasses(眼鏡），shorts(短褲)，trousers(褲子)，suspenders(吊褲帶)等。這一類名詞，如果不帶"一把"、"一副"、"一條"等單位詞而單獨使用，通常作復數(shù)。例如：

如果帶有單位詞，則由單位詞的單、復數(shù)形式?jīng)Q定動詞的單、復數(shù)形式。 例如：One pair of scissors isn't enough.

17. A large quantity of + 可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)形式/ 不可數(shù)名詞，作主語時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式；Large quantities of +可數(shù)名詞復數(shù)形式/ 不可數(shù)名詞，作主語時，謂語動詞用復數(shù)形式。

18. 不定式、-ing形式短語或名詞性從句作主語時，謂語動詞常用單數(shù)。 注意：當what引導的從句作主語，且表語為名詞時，謂語動詞的數(shù)常由表語的數(shù)來決定。

19. 英語中一些形復意單的名詞，如：news, means, politics, physics, maths, the United States等作主語時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)。但若不是國名，而是群島、山脈、海峽、瀑布等地理名稱、通常作復數(shù)用。

20. 用and 連接的成對名詞習慣上被看成是一個整體，如：bread and butter(抹黃油的面包)，knife and fork(刀叉)，等作主語時，謂語動詞常用單數(shù)。
