初中英语总复习专题（主谓一致）

主谓一致是指一个句子的主语和谓语动词保持数的一致关系。主谓一致要遵循三条原则：语法一致、意义一致、就近一致。
一、复习要点：
1．语法一致的原则：语法一致的原则就是指主语和谓语动词保持语法形式上的一致，即主语为单数形式，谓语动词也采用单数形式；主语为复数形式，谓语动词也采用复数形式。
⑴ 单数名词或代词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句用作主语时，谓语动词一般用单数形式。主语为复数名词或代词时，谓语动词用复数形式。例如：
His father works for a computer company. 他的父亲在一家电脑公司工作。
Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes.  在阳光下看书对眼睛有害。
What he said is very important for us all.  他所说的话对我们大家都很重要。
⑵ 由连词and或both… and连接的并列主语后面，要用复数形式的谓语动词。例如：
New York and Boston are American cities.  纽约和波士顿是美国城市。
Both she and her sister like drawing pictures.  她和她的姐姐都喜欢画画。
⑶ 由“a… and a half, more than one ＋名词”构成的主语，尽管从意义上看是复数，但谓语动词要用单数形式。例如：
A month and a half has passed since I saw him. 自从我见到他，已经过去一个半月了。
More than one person here is going to find a new job.  这里不止一人准备找新工作。
⑷ 主语为单数名词或代词，尽管后面有with, together with, except, but, like, as well as等引起的短语，谓语动词仍用单数形式；如果主语为复数形式，谓语动词也用复数形式。例如：
Mr Green, together with his wife, has come to China.
The students as well as their teacher were playing a game on the playground. 
No one except the teachers knows the answer.  除了老师没有人知道答案。
She, like you and Tom, is very tall.  她跟你和汤姆一样个子都很高。
⑸ 主语为表示两部分构成的物体的名词（如：glasses, jeans, pants, scissors, trousers等）时，谓语动词用复数形式。但如果它们前面用了a pair of，谓语动词的数取决于pair的单复数形式。例如：
My blue trousers have worn out.  我的蓝裤子已经穿破了。
This pair of scissors is China-made.  这把剪刀是中国制造的。
Here are some new pairs of shoes.  这里有几双新鞋。
⑹ 主语为“the number of ＋复数名词”时，谓语动词用单数形式；主语为“a number of ＋复数名词”时，谓语动词用复数形式。例如：
The number of cars is increasing.  汽车的数目正在增长。
There were a number of people out this afternoon.  今天下午有很多人外出。
A great number of migrant workers have entered the city.  大批的民工涌入了城市。
⑺ each或由some, any, every, no构成的复合代词用作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。例如：
Each of us has a new dictionary.  我们每一个人都有一本新词典。
Somebody is looking for you.  有人在找你。
Everybody is doing his best.  人人都在尽力而为。
There’s nothing interesting in the newspaper.  报纸上没有什么有趣的新闻。
I can’t find my pen – has anyone seen it?  我的笔找不到了——有谁看见了吗？
⑻ either, neither用作主语时，谓语动词通常用单数。但是，如果后接“of ＋复数名词或代词”时，谓语动词用单复数均可。例如：
Either is acceptable.  两者中哪一个都能接受。
Neither of us was having any luck.  我们两个都不走运。
Neither of the sisters was alive.  两姐妹都不在人世了。
⑼ 在定语从句中，关系代词that, who, which等用作主语时，其谓语动词的数应与先行词的数一致。例如：
This is the man who wants to see you.  这就是想要见你的人。
The girls who are coming soon are my students.  快要到来的那些女孩是我的学生。
⑽ 由what引导的主语从句，主句谓语动词一般用单数形式。但如果表示复数意义，主句谓语动词则用复数形式。例如：
What we need now is time.  我们现在需要的就是时间。
What he left me are only some old books.  他留给我的只是几本旧书。
2．意义一致的原则：
主语形式为单数，但意义却为复数；有时主语形式为复数，但意义却为单数。这时，就要采用意义一致的原则，即谓语动词的数必须和主语的意义一致。
⑴ 由and 所连接的并列主语如果是指一个人或一种事物时，其后的谓语动词就用单数形式。例如：
The writer and artist has come.  那位作家兼艺术家来了。
There is a knife and fork on the table.  餐桌上有一副刀叉。
Fish and chips is a popular food.  炸鱼土豆片是一种很受欢迎的食物。
Five and five makes ten.  (or: … make ten.)  五加五等于十。
⑵ 由“each A and each B”或“every A and every B”构成的并列主语，其后的谓语动词要用单数形式。有时，可以省去第二个each或every。例如：
Every hour and every minute is important.  每一小时和每一分钟都是宝贵的。
Each man and (each) woman is asked to help.  每一个男女都被要求给予帮助。
⑶ 表示时间、距离、价格、度量衡等名词的复数形式用作主语时，通常作为整体看待，谓语动词要用单数形式。例如：
Three days is too long for us to wait.  要我们等三天，时间太长了。
A hundred miles is a long distance.  一百英里是一段很长的距离。
Ten thousand dollars is cheap enough for that house.  一万美金买那所房子是够便宜的。
⑷ 有些形式为单数、意义为复数的名词（如：people, police, staff等）用作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式。例如：
There were many people at the meeting.  许多人参加了会议。
The police have caught the thief.  警方抓住了那个盗贼。
⑸ 集体名词（如：class, family, group, team, crowd等）用作主语时，谓语动词的数取决于集体名词的意义。当集体名词指整体时，谓语动词用单数形式；当集体名词指其中的个体时，谓语动词用复数形式。例如：
The class is the best one in the grade.  这个班级是年级中最好的班级。
Almost every family there owns a motorcar.  那里几乎每家都拥有一辆摩托车。
   Before the match our team was expected to be the best one.  比赛前，我们球队被认为是最好的。
   The team are driving to the game in their own cars.  全队人开着自己的车去比赛。
⑹ none用作主语时，谓语动词多用复数形式；作为单数看待时，谓语动词用单数形式。例如：
None of the suggestions was accepted.
None of the children in the class are tired of his lesson.
⑺ some, any, all, more, most等代词做主语时，谓语动词要与它们所指代的名词的数一致。例如：
Some (of the apples) remain green.  有些苹果还是绿的。
Some (of the fish) went bad.  有些鱼发臭了。
All was quiet in the street.  街上一切平静。
All (of the people) have gone.  所有的人都走了。
3．就近一致的原则：就近一致的原则就是指谓语动词的数与并列主语中最靠近它的那个主语保持一致。
⑴ There be 句型和Here be中的be的单复数形式取决于其后的主语，如果其后是由and连接的并列主语，则应与最靠近的那个主语保持一致。例如：
There is a table and four chairs in the room.  房间里有一张餐桌和四把椅子。
Here is a pen, a few envelopes and some paper for you.  这里有一支笔、几个信封和一些纸给你。
⑵ 当两个主语由 or, either… or, neither… nor, not only… but also, whether… or连接时，谓语动词和最靠近的主语保持一致。例如：
No food or water is allowed to take with.  不准带食物和水。
Either a telephone or a fax machine is needed in my office.
Neither you nor he knows how to answer the question. 你和他都不知道如何回答这个问题。
Not only the students but also their teacher likes the film.
