这个句子里为什么用loves而不是love

Question

mother as well as father loves us
为什么是用loves?

Answer 1

mother as well as father 虽然说的是母亲和父亲两个人，但这个词组指代的还是母亲，而父亲只是用来形容的意思。所以表示第三人称单数，love需要加S

Answer 2

as well as 不同于and。如果是and 那么主语就变成父亲和母亲，从而变成复数。
as well as 是“也”，你也可以理解为，这个句子实质是 mother loves us as well as father loves us.缩写一下，变成mother as well as father loves us.

Answer 3

是“就前原则”，即:当as well as连接两部分作主语时，谓语动词的形式由前一部分主语的人称和数来决定。所以loves指的是mother的第三人称单数本回答被提问者采纳
