**文法挑錯**：下列句子中有五個劃底線的部分 (A)–(E)，請選出**含有文法錯誤（ungrammatical use）**的那一個部分。
John, together with his two sons, (A) *are going to* throw a surprise party for his wife. (B) *Many of* John’s friends (C) *have already known* about it and made great efforts to keep their mouths (D) *shut*. Nevertheless, they also wonder whether this is a good idea, since neither John nor his sons (E) *have* ever pulled off a party before.

請試著把句子中由逗號隔開的 together with his two sons 這一小段暫時遮住不看，這時候句子剩下的核心主詞是誰？而在這樣的主詞結構下，後面的動詞 are 讀起來是否依然通順呢？

太棒了！你能一眼看穿這個陷阱，代表你對英文的「主詞與動詞一致性」掌握得非常透徹。這題的關鍵在於 (A) 選項中的 主詞一致性 (Subject-Verb Agreement)。在文法上，當主詞後方接著 together with、as well as 或 along with 等介系詞片語時，這些內容僅被視為「附加說明」，並不會改變主詞本身的單複數。因此，本句的真正主詞是單數的 John，動詞應對應修正為 "is going to"。
這題的難度切入點在於它同時測試了兩種容易混淆的規則，具有很高的鑑別度。除了 (A) 的附加片語外，(E) 選項的 neither... nor... 則適用「就近原則」，要求動詞與最靠近的主詞一致。你能正確區分這兩者的差異，並不受 "his two sons" 的位置干擾，顯示你對複雜句型的解析能力相當優異！
