1、语法专题九:主谓一致主谓一致:即句中谓语动词的数必须与主语的人称和数取得一致。常见规则:1. 谓动常用单数形式的情况,主语为:1) 不可数名词、可数名词的单数形式;2) 动词不定式、动名词、单个主从;3) 书名、剧名、国名、组织机构等的复数名词;4) 表示时间、距离、价格、度量等的复数名词作为整体;5) 以ics结尾的学科名词:politics, physics, mathematics, economics(经济学), statistics等;6) 用and连接两个单数名词,且被each, every, no, many a修饰, 如:every boy and every girl;7)
2、由and连接两个名词,且属同一概念时;8) 两个单数名词由and连接,前只有一个冠词,表示“兼”;9) one of, one in / out of, more than one;the number of +复数名词; 10) 当定从的先行词为the (only) one of;11) 在强调句It is / was that / who中;12) one and a half 后面接复数名词,谓语动词常用单数。2. 谓动常用复数形式的情况,主语为:1) 复数名词;由and或bothand连接两个名词2) cattle, the police, people等3) the + 形容词 /
3、分词,代表一类人或物4) A number of, numbers of5) Quantities of / Amounts of 3. 谓动须根据主语具体情况而定:1) all, most, some, half, part, rest, a lot of, plenty of, a quantity of, 百分比、分数等:指代可数名词,谓动用复数;指代不可数名词,则用单数。2) 表示集体名称的名词audience, company(伙), band, crowd, club, class, group, family, public, team, population, party等:强
4、调整体,谓词用单数;如指具体成员,则用复数。3) 单、复同形的名词,如sheep, fish, deer, means等,则根据其具体数而定。如:当every/a means作主语时,谓语动词用单数,而all means作主语时,谓语动词则用复数。4) 在“先行词+定从”结构中,在从句中作主语,定从谓动在人称、数上与先行词保持一致。5) 由what引导主从,谓动一般用单数,但若表语为复数形式,则谓动用复数。6) 由a kind of, this kind of, many kinds of ,或名词+ of this kind 等以及与kind 意思相近的type , sort 等构成的类似短
5、语作主语时,谓语动词与of 前的名词保持一致。4. 就近原则:即谓动由靠近它的名词决定其单复数。主要用于下列结构中:There / Here / Such + v. + n.Notbut; Not onlybut alsoor; Eitheror; Neithernor 5. 就远原则:当along with, as well as, rather than, but, except, besides, with, together with, like, including, in addition to等连接两个名词时,谓动由前面的名词决定其单复数。巩固练习1.
