1、第二部分 语法网络攻略第十四章第十四章 主谓一致主谓一致一、主谓一致主谓一致,是指在英语中,谓语动词的使用要与句子的主语在人称和数上保持一致,一般来讲,现代英语关于主语和谓语在人称和数上的一致关系,大致得遵循以下表格中的原则:主谓一致分类意义注意语法一致一个句子的主语是单数时,谓语动词也应是单数形式,主语是复数,谓语动词也用复数形式。1.如果并列的主语指的是同一个人,同一类物,谓语动词要用单数形式,如:A singer and dancer is going to the party.2.由and连接的并列单数主语前,如果分别有each,every等修饰时,谓语要用单数。如:Every boy
2、 and every girl was given an apple.意义一致 主语形式是单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词根据意义要用复数;主语形式为复数,但意义为单数,谓语动词也用单数(如表示一笔钱,一段时间,一定重量等)。有些集体名词,如family,group,class等作主语时,作为整体看待,谓语动词要用单数,就其中一个个成员而言,谓语要用复数。如:His family is a happy one.(整体)His family are watching TV.(个体成员)就近一致 出现几个主语时,谓语动词的人称单复数须和最近的主语保持一致。遵循就近原则的句型有:there be,her
3、e be 和eitheror,neithernor,not onlybut also等连接两个名词或代词做主语时靠前原则 出现几个主语时,谓语动词的人称单复数须和距离谓语远的名词保持一致。主语后面跟有介词with,together with,but,except,besides,rather than或as well as 引导的短语时,如:Susan as well as you is my friend.【强化练习】I单项选择1.Not only I but also Mary and Jane _ tired of having one examination after another
4、.A.is B.are C.am D.be由not onlybut also连接并列主语时,谓语与最靠近的主语保持一致。此题符合就近原则,故答案为B。【错解分析】本题易误选C,易误认为I 为主语,而实际上谓语的单复数是由Jane and Mary决定的,应用就近原则,故排除C,同理排除A。B 2.Nobody but you _ what he said.A.agrees with B.agrees on C.agree with D.agree to主语为nobody时谓语动词用单数,应用靠前原则。如果主语被but,as well as,with等短语修饰,谓语仍与主语的数保持一致。【错解分
5、析】该题易误选C、D,选D的原因在于词组记忆不清,用介词to时,后面应加具体项目。而选择C就在于误把you当做为主语对待了。而实际上nobody才是主语。A 3.She is the only one among the _ writers who _ stories for children.A.woman;writes B.women;write C.women;writes D.woman;writewoman writer的复数为women writers,而定语从句中的谓语单复数是由先行词决定的,先行词为the only one。故答案为C。【错解分析】本题易误选B,误认为先行词为w
6、riters,而实际上由于one被the only修饰,故先行词是the only one,谓语应用单数。C 4.Either you or the headmaster _ the prize for these gifted students at the meeting.A.is handing in B.are to hand out C.are handing in D.is to hand out由eitheror连接的主语,谓语动词遵循就近一致原则,因靠近谓语动词的主语为the headmaster,故谓语动词用单数形式,又因校长要给有天赋的学生发奖品,是主动结构,故选答案为D。
7、D 5.As a result of destroying the forest,a large _ of desert _ covered the land.A.number;has B.quantity;has C.number;have D.quantity;havea large quantity of,quantities of,a large amount of,amounts of+名词作主语时谓语动词应由quantity或amount的数而定。据此,由于a large quantity of 中的quantity是单数,故答案选B。B II根据主谓一致原则,将括号内的动词变成适
8、当形式填空1.He is the only one of the students who _a winner of scholarship for three years.(be)2.Mr.Green,together with his students,_on the project day and night.(work)3.Each of the students,working hard at his or her lessons,_ to go to a good university.(hope)4.E-mail,as well as telephone,_ an importa
9、nt part in daily communication.(play)5.Clothes of this kind _ well.(sell)has been is working hopes plays sell III.请学习上面主谓一致的用法,翻译下面的短文:(要求用上not onlybut also,together with,each等词)汤姆是一个在中国学习的美国学生。不仅他的班主任,他的同学们也都很喜欢他,因为他又聪明又幽默。他有一个幸福的家。他和他的父母计划在暑假时回美国度假。但是,他们还没有决定坐什么交通工具回去。汤姆的每一个同学都希望他的一家能有一个愉快的假期。Tom
