第2题 He invited all his ___ to attend his wedding party.

在短线连着的时候不是照例都不用复的么?
具体如何?

Answer 1

1. 你记得没错,的确是provide sb with sth=provide sth for sb.这道题目只能说是可能出错了.但用排除法的话,也只能是选B最佳了.
as well as连接并列主语是,动词采用就远原则,所以是provides；
你用provide...with...错得更凶了,总不能“把世界提供给好的渔业资源”.
2.
1）这种合成名词如果没有连词符,而且直接连在一起,则只需要给后面变成复数形式就可以了.
如：supermarkets, blackboards
2）这种合成名词如果没有连词符,而且形成一个短语,则除man/woman外只要给后一个名词变成复数就可以了；而如果是man/woman修饰名词,则两个名词一起变复数.
如：street sellers, shop assistants, women teachers, men doctors
3）构成合成词的两个都是名词,将后一个词转化为复数(comrade-in-arms )；但如果一个是名词,另一个不是,则将名词转化为复数(常见的有standers-by, lookers-on,passers-by,fathers-in-law).
