except连接两个主语,谓语动词用什么形式

练习里有这么个句子Everyone except Tom and John were there when the meeting began.,我怎么觉得应该用单数啊??

我是英语老师,帮帮你。
你的想法是对的。except=but 介词,谓语动词应与其前面的主语保持一致。
祝你进步!

有except/but /together with/ as well as/ including等介词的句子的谓语动词要和这些词前面的主语一致。
如: Tom as well as his sisters has gone to New York.
Nobody but Tom likes playing football.

我觉得也有可能是就近原则,特殊句式,就是它是根据 except 后面的词来确定单复数,就可能跟there一样
