►肯定否定一致

　　下列形容词、副词、代词从肯定句变成否定句时，须作相应的变化：

　　注意：“so/neither+助动词/情态动词+名词/代词”结构中须用倒装语序，

　　如：My wife likes classical music very much and so do I. 我的妻子非常喜爱古典乐，我也是。

　　She doesn't like jazz and neither do I. 她不喜欢爵士乐，我也不喜欢。

　　►代词一致

　　代词一致是指句子中代词应在数、性、人称等方面彼此保持一致，

　　►就近一致

　　1. 当主语由either...... or. neither...... nor , not only ...... but(also) 或or连接时，谓语动词通常和最临近的那个主语一致。
