and连接的词作主语时，谓语动词用单数还是复数，要根据具体内容来决定，没有就近或就远原则说法。
and的用法
1.连接两个相同的比较级，表示“越来越……”。
2.连接两个相同的动词，表示动作的反复或连续。
3.连接两个相同的名词，表示“许多”或“有各种各样的”(即有好的也有坏的)。
4.在口语中用在come,go,run,stay,stop,try等之后表示目的(and在此相当于不定式符号to)。
5.用在祈使句后，表示结果，意为“那么”(暗示一种条件)。
6.用在good,nice,fine等之后，表示“很”、“挺”。
7.在主从复合句中，不要在主句前误加and。
8.某些用and连接的两个词，与汉语顺序相反，不要按汉语词序颠倒过来。
就近原则
1.There be句型
There is a book and some pencils on the desk.=There are some pencils and a book on the desk.
2.neither...nor...
Neither you nor he is right.=Neither he nor you are right.
3.either...or...
Either they or Jim is going to Shanghai next Saturday.=Either Jim or they are going to shanghai next Saturday.
4.not only...but also...
Not only Ann but also her parents stay at home every Sunday.=Not only Ann's parents but also she stays at home every Sunday.
or是就近原则,or连接的是两个主语时,经常与either同时出现
I like not only Chinese but (also) English.
