问题描述:

the top of the tree
The top of the trree together with many of its branches ( ) blown off by the wind.
答案为WAS,我想问为什么不能用WERE呢?

the top 以后的都是修饰top的

是作为一个整体来说的

当出现:with,together with ,along with. like, as well as 等连接两个名词时,主语随他们前面的一致.
你的话主语是the top of the tree
如果这句话改成The top of the tree and many of its branches ( ) blown off by the wind.就应该用were

together with many of its branches 是修饰The top of the tree的部分 也就是说真正的主语是The top of the tree所以要用单数。

英语主谓一致问题:
当出现:with,together with ,along with.like,as well as 等连接两个名词时,主语随他们前面的一致.
你的话主语是the top of the tree
