问题描述：
不仅……而且,是就近原则吗?not only politics but also English is important.In other words,English as well as politics is important.为什么谓语动词是单数呢?as well as 的意思与and不是一样的吗?那么应该用谓语动词复数才对,还是as well as 本身也应遵循就近原则呢?
答
not only ...but also ...是就近原则
但是as well as ...作为一个整体,在句子里类似插入语的用法,谓语还是要看前面的,这里看English,所以用单数
也就是说,看到as well as ,谓语用单数还是复数,要看as well as 前面是什么
