【答】Each girl wore what she liked best.每个姑娘都穿着自己最喜欢的衣服。(较为正式)Each student wore what they liked best.每个学生都穿着自己最喜欢的衣服。(不太正式)
以上例句摘自《牛津英语用法指南》第三版。所以,问题中的两个答案都是正确的。
1. Water each tree every day, or _____ will die.
A. it B. they
2. I read each book on your desk, and I found _____ very useful.
A. it was B. they were
【答】each 作主语时,主谓一致和相应代词的基本规则是:
1. 如果each 强调的是“个别”,谓语动词与相关的代词通常总用单数形式。
2. 如果each 强调的是“集体”,或先行词是复数时,谓语动词和相关的代词则用复数。
3. each 用作复数的同位语时,谓语动词和相关的代词也用复数,包括附加疑问句。
鉴于上述规则,1.选it(强调个别树木,不是全部); 2. 选they were(强调桌子上所有的书,不是某本书)
