Subject-VerbAgreement(主谓一致)
主谓一致指“人称”和“数”方面的一致关系。
1.语法一致原则
如果主语是单数,谓语动词则用单数形式;
如果主语是复数,谓语动词用复数形式。
eg.Bothparties______theirownadvantages.
Herjob_____somethingtodowithcomputers.
2.意义一致原则
有时,主语和谓语动词的一致关系取决于主语的单、复数意义,而不是语法上的单、复数形式,这样的一致关系就是意义一致。
Hisfamily______(be)abigfamily.
Hisfamily_______(be)listeningtomusic
whenhecameback.
ThepopulationinChina______(be)verylarge,andeightyofthepopulationinChina_____(be)farmers.
3.就近原则
有时,谓语动词的单、复数形式决定于最靠近它的词语。
e.g.Eithermygrandsonsortheirfather__(be)coming.
NeitherRichardnorI_____(be)going.
(一) 谓语动词常用复数的情况
Theteachersarerespectedintheworld.
1)主语为复数名词或代词
Thepolicearelookingforthemissingchild.
Thecattlearekeptinhisfarm.
2) 当people,police,cattle等集体名词作主语,形式上为单数而意义却是复数,谓语用复数。
TheOlympicGamesareheldonceeveryfouryears.
TheRockymountainsstandinthewestofthenorthAmerica.
3)山脉、群岛、瀑布、运动会等s结尾的复数名词作主语。
Thericharenotalwayshappy.
Generallyspeaking,theyoungareeagerforsuccess.
4)the+adj.表示一类人或物做主语时
如blind,deaf,living,dead,
the+wounded,poor,rich
old,young等
但指个人或抽象概念时,谓语动词用单数形式。
Theunknownisalwayssomethingtobefeared.
Thebeautifulisalwayslovedbypeople.
TheWhitesaregoingtomakeatriptoLondon.
TheGreenswerewatchingTVwhenafirebrokeout.
5)the+姓的复数形式表一家人
(二)谓语动词常用单数的情况
1)可数名词的单数及不可数名词作主语时。
Theadviceispractical.
2)表示时间、距离、金钱、长度、重量等复数名词作主语,表达一个整体概念时。
Twentyyearsisonlyashorttimeinhumanhistory.
3)主语从句、动词不定式、动名词形式作主语时,谓语动词用单数。
Lookingafterthechildrenismyfulltimejob.
Todieforthepeopleisaworthydeath.
Whenandwheretoholdthemeetingisunknown.
Whateverwasleftwastakenaway.
4)以-S结尾的单数名词,形式为复数而意义为单数。如表示学科、国家、机构、书籍、报刊等名称作主语,(news,physics,maths,politics)谓语用单数。
TheUnitedstatesismadeupof50states.
TheTimesisanewspaperfortheBritishgovernment
GreatExpectationswaswrittenbyCharlesDickensin1860.?
5) clothing,furniture,traffic,jewellery,baggage,equipment,luggage等无生命的集合名词作主语。

7)manya/each/every
either/neither+单数名词
morethanone
Manyastudent__________thefilm.
Neitherstory____true.

注意:当each放在主语后作同位语时,不决定谓语单复数。
Theyeachhaveadictionary.=

8)everyevery
each+名词单数+and+each+名词单数作主语时
nono谓语用单数
manyamanya

9)由some,any,no,every+one/thing/body
所构成的复合不定代词做主语时,谓语用单数。
Nobody______togothere.
Something______beendonetoendthestrike.
(三) 其它情况
1) 用and或both…and…连接的两个名词作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。但是如果and连接的两个名词作主语,指同一个人或事或整体概念,谓语动词用单数(如果是可数名词的单数这时and后面的名词一般没有冠词)。
用is/are填空:
EnglishandChinesequitedifferentlanguages.
Waterandairbothimportant.

2) 单、复数同形的名词作主语时,按意义一致的原则。作单数意义时,谓语动词用单数,反之谓语动词用复数。这类名词有:sheep,fish,deer,means(方法),species(种类),works(工厂),Chinese,Japanese等。
选择填空

3)表示成双成套的名词,如:chopsticks(筷子),
compasses,clothes,glasses,jeans,scissors,shoes,socks,trousers,gloves,shorts
等,作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数形式;
ChopsticksmainlyareusedinChina.
但如与akindof,apairof,thepairof,
aseriesof连用,作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
如:
Thiskindofbooks____useful.
=Booksofthiskind____useful.
4)某些集体名词(如family,team等)作主语时,如果作为一个整体看待,谓语用单数形式;如果就其中一个个成员而言,谓语动词用复数。类似动词还有:class,club,company,crowd,enemy,government,group,party,public,team等。
5)就近原则
下列连词连接两个主语时,及therebe句型有多个并列主语,谓语应与最靠近的主语保持一致。

eitherAorB
neitherAnorB 动词与靠近的主语一致

largequantities/amountsof+n(可数/不可数)谓语复数

Largequantitiesoffood_______gonebad.
9)关系代词作主语,定语从句谓语动词的形式取决于其先行词的单复数。

当one之前有theonly修饰时,one是who的先行词,从句谓语动词用单数。
