二、并列主语和并列谓语

1.并列主语：由and和both ...and连接的并列主语谓语动词用复数。

【提示】 当and连接的两个的词语指同一个人或事物时，谓语用单数。

The iron and steel industry is very important to our life.

钢铁工业对我们的生活很重要。

2.并列谓语：谓语并列中在最后一个谓语动词前加and。

昨天我去买了一些书，又在一个很好的饭店吃了晚饭。

The soldier looked at him，exchanged glances with his comrade and took out the gun.
