当主语后接 with,along with, together with, besides, except, like, including, in addition to, aswell as, rather than 等词时，谓语动词的单复数形式不是与这些词后的名词相一致，而是要根据前面的主语来确定，这就是“就远原则”。如：

A library with 5,000 books was offered tothe school. 一个拥有五千册图书的图书馆被提供给了这所学校。

A farmer together with some workers isabout to help us. 一个农民和几个工人即将来帮助我们。

Jack as well as her parents is going to London next week. 杰克和他的父母下周要去伦敦。
