大家好,敝人是第一次使用此論壇,目前遇到幾個簡單問題無法理解,
還請英文好手多多幫忙~~ 感謝各位~~ > <


Q1:Either Bill or we were supposed to contact Sylvia about the meeting.

Q2:Neither Professor Johnson nor his students are going to join the project.
想詢問Either與Neither後面不是接單數動詞嗎?為何答案是使用複數動詞(were、are)??

Q3:Two-quarters of the land has been sold to investors.
想詢問分數後面都是接單是動詞( has been)嗎??

Q4:Fifty cents is how much I owe you ?
想詢問Fifty cents為何後面加單數動詞is??


感謝各位英文好手大力幫忙~~

It's "we were" and "his students are" because they are closer to the verbs. This is called "the proximity rule."

The focal point is "the land."

Numbers and amount of money are singular.
