1、主谓一致主谓一致是指谓语动词在人称和数上和主语一致,一般遵循三个原则,即语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近一致原则。考点一、语法一致原则主语的单复数决定了谓语动词的单复数。1动名词、动词不定式、从句、不定代词作主语时,谓语动词常用单数。例:All the scientific evidence shows that increasing use of chemicals in farming is damaging our health.所有的科学证据都表明,在农业中使用越来越多的化学品正在危害着我们的健康。What he said is far from the truth.他的话与事实相差太

3、 than you is to blame for the accident.我认为是汤姆而不是你该为这起事故负责任。3and, both.and.连接两个不同的主语,谓语动词用复数形式;但是如果由and连接的两个名词表示同一概念,兼具身份或匹配出现时,谓语动词用单数形式。例:Her teacher and her friends are in the sittingroom.她的老师和朋友们都在客厅。The poet and writer has produced many works.这位诗人兼作家写出了许多作品。4定语从句中关系代词作主语时,从句中的谓语动词要与先行词保持一致。例:My

5、 held on Sunday.每个男生和女生都希望参加周日的聚会。考点二意义一致原则意义一致原则指不管主语的形式是单数还是复数,主语的意义决定了谓语动词的单复数。1集体名词作主语时,若被看作一个整体,谓语动词用单数形式;若被看作是构成集体的一个个成员,谓语动词用复数形式。常见的集体名词有family, class, team, group, public, committee, government, audience等。例:The whole class, which is made up of twenty boys and fifteen girls, were told to sta
6、y behind after school to have an important meeting yesterday.这个班由20个男生和15个女生组成,昨天全班学生被告知放学后留下开一个重要的会。注意:形式为单数但意义为复数概念的集合名词(如people, police等)作主语时,谓语动词用复数。 2“分数/百分数/the majorityof名词”作主语时,谓语动词的单复数取决于of后名词的数以及其表示的意义;all, some, half, most, the rest等作主语时,谓语动词单复数取决于主语实际表达的意义。例:About one third of the books

8、ntities of后无论是可数名词还是不可数名词,谓语动词均用复数形式。例:A quantity of time has been wasted on the project.Quantities of time have been wasted on the project.大量的时间被浪费在了这个项目上。5“a number of复数名词”作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式,“the number of复数名词”作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。例:The number of people invited was one hundred, but a number of them were abs

10、。例:Not only John and Tom but also their sister, Mary, takes great interest in the piano lessons.不仅是约翰和汤姆,就连他们的妹妹玛丽,也对钢琴课有极大的兴趣。Either you or one of your students is to attend the meeting that is due tomorrow.你或者你的一名学生应该出席明天的会议。2在there be句型中,若有n个并列成分作主语,谓语动词的数通常和最邻近的主语保持一致。例:There are three books and

12、词应与The famous musician在数上保持一致,故用第三人称单数形式;且musician与invite之间为被动关系,再根据句中标志词at the opening ceremony.Expo可知,应使用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was invited。I.单句语法填空 用括号内动词的适当形式填空。1.
