+ singular verb form

Example:

both/both of means both or all of the 2. (ทั้งสองอัน/คน/สิ่ง...)

รุปแบบประโยคต่อไปนี้ ในกรณีที่ประธารหลัก (S1)มีวลีหรือคำขยายตามตารางต่อท้าย จะใช้กริยาเป็นเอกพจน์หรือพหูพจน์นั้นต้องยึดการใช้กริยาตามประธานตัวหน้า (S1) เป็นหลัก

S1,   +     + S2, V1 (agrees with S1) but not and not but not besides except excludeing not like like plus with including accompanied by in accompany with along with together with in addition to as well as not less than not more than
