主谓一致(Subject-Verb Agreement )

主谓一致指谓语动词必须在人称与数的方面与主语保持一致。其三个原则如下:1.语法一致原则。该原则要求谓语动词必须与主语在语法形式上保持一致。即主语是单数形式,动词用单数形式,主语是复数形式,动词就用复数形式。

2.意义一致原则。有时谓语动词的数取决于主语所表示的概念,而不是其语法形式。

This news is important for us.

3.就近原则。有时,谓语动词的数决定于主语中最靠近它的词语。

英语主谓一致精讲精练

英语主谓一致 一)主谓一致的种类 1.语法形式上的一致 主语为单数形式,谓语动词用单数形式;主语为复数形式,谓语动词也用复数形式。如: The number of the students present is 200. Jane and Mary look alike. 2.意义上一致 1)主语形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词用复数。如:The crowd were shouting. 单数形式代表复数内容的词有:people, police, cattle等。 2)主语形式为复数,而意义上却是单数,谓语动词用单数。如:The news was so surprising. 形复意单的单词有news和一些以ics结尾的学科名称,如physics,politics, economics等。 3.就近原则 即谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语。如用连词or,either…or, neither…not, not only…but also等连接的并列主语,如果一个是单数,一个是复数,谓语动词与靠近它的主语一致。如: Either your students or Mr. Wang knows this. (二)主谓一致的应用 1.名词作主语 1)某些集体名词,如family, team等作主语时,如果作为一个整体看待,谓语动词用单数形式,如果就其中一个个成员而言,谓语动词用复数形式。如: His family is a happy one. The whole family are watching TV. 这类名词有:audience,class,club,company,crew,enemy,crowd,government,group,party,public,team等。 名词population一词的使用情况类似。“a group(crowd) of +复数名词”等短语之后的谓语动词也同样可用单数或复数,前者强调整体,后者强调各个部分。 2)某些集体名词,如people, police, cattle等,只当复数看待,谓语动词必须用复数。如: The police are searching for the thief. 3)单、复数同形的名词主语时,谓语动词应根据意义决定单、复数。如:A sheep is over there. Some sheep are over there. 4)名词所有格之后的名词被省略,这种情况一般只指商店、工厂、住宅等,作主语时,动词一般用单数。如:The doctor’s is across the street. My uncle’s is not far from here. 常见的省略名词有:the baker’s, the barber’s, the carpenter’s, the Zhang’s等。 表示店铺的名词,一般作集体名词看待,但用作主语时,谓语动词往往用复数。如: Richardson’s have a lot of goods to sell. 5)当名词词组中心词为表示度量、距离、金额、时间、书名等复数名词时,往往可以根据意义一致的原则,把这些复数名词看作一个整体,谓语用单数形式。如: Three years has passed since then. 6)不定代词each, every, no所修饰的名词即使以and或逗号连接成多主语时,谓语动词仍用单数形式。如:Each boy and each girl wants to go to the cinema. 7)如果主语有more than on e…或many a…构成,尽管从意义上看是复数内容,但它的谓语动词仍用单数形式。如:More than one student has read the book. Many a girl has been there. 但是,“more +复数名词+than one”结构之后,谓语动词一般多用复数形式。如: More members than one are against your plan. 8)一些有两个部分构成的名词表示衣物或工具作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数形式,例如:glasses, clothes, trousers, shoes, compasses, chopsticks, scissors等。但如果主语用“a kind of, a pair of , a series of等加名词”构成时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。如: A pair of shoes was on the desk. 9)this kind of book =a book of this kind(这种书),其谓语动词用单数;短语this kind of men =men of this kind =these kind of men(口语)(这一类人),但this kind of men的谓语动词用单数,men of this kind和these kind of men的谓语动词

主谓一致用法总结

主谓一致 使用主谓一致时,必须遵循三个原则,即语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近一致原则。 一、当单数可数名词、不可数名词、复合不定代词、单个不定式(疑问词+不定式)、动名词或主语从句以及表示“时间、价值、重量、距离、书名、影片名称”等名词作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数形式。例如: The curtains are closed and the living room is dark when Mom and Dad enter. Visiting a place like this is always very interesting. Why pleasant smells do not reduce pain in men is a question still to be answered by scientists. 二、all(some, a lot, plenty, any, part, the rest, most等)+of+名词作主语以及分数、百分数构成短语作主语时,谓语动词单复数形式取决于of后的名词或代词。表示复数概念用复数;表示单数概念用单数。例如: As a result of the serious flood, two-thirds of the buildings in the area need repairing. One study says that 90% of our time is spent watching television

or using computers. While the rest of the passengers were getting out, she glanced at the faces around her. 三、在“名词/代词+介宾结构+谓语+…”结构中,谓语动词与名词/代词保持一致,介宾结构看作插入成分。该结构中的常见介词及介词短语有with, together with, along with, as well as, like, but, except, besides, including等。例如: Healthy eating along with regular exercise is probably the only way to become fit. Nobody but Tom and his father has ever been there. 四、a number of / a group of / a variety of / a total of 等构成短语作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式;而the number of / the group of / the variety of / the total of 等构成短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。例如: The low number of attacks that happen every year proves that sharks do not feed on humans if they have the choice.

主谓一致 主谓一致是高一下学期的一个语法专项。对于这一语法的掌握大部分靠理解后的记忆。关键要找准主语,再看其句式结构,按照规则办事。另外,对于作主语的名词还要分清是可数名词还是不可数名词。下面我们就这一语法内容进行讲解。 谓语受主语支配,须和主语在人称、数上保持一致,叫主谓一致。处理主谓一致问题可依据三项原则:语法上一致、意义上一致和就近一致。 一、语法上一致: 谓语和主语通常是从语法形式上取得一致,即主语为单数形式,谓语动词也采用单数形式,主语为复数,谓语也为复数形式。 A、谓语用单数的情况 1、以单数名词或代词、动词不定式、动名词短语或从句作主语时。 例:The boy is clever enough to study maths well. To work hard is necessary. Reading aloud is very important in learning a foreign language. Whether she comes or not is of no matter. 2、由and连接的并列单数主语的前边如果分别有each, every, 或no修饰时,其谓语要用单数形式。 例:In our country every boy and every girl has the right to education. No teacher and no student is going to take part in such a boring game. 3、主语是单数,其后尽管有as well as, no less than, rather than, more than, but, except, besides, with, along with, together with, like, including, in addition to等起连接作用的词语带其他名词,谓语动词仍用单数。 例:The teacher as well as the students likes this painting. 4、某些不定代词,如either, neither, each, one, the other, another, anybody, anyone, anything, somebody, someone, something, every body, every one, everything, nobody, no one, nothing.等,当它们作主语时,通常用单数。 5、many a +单名,谓语用单数。 例:Many a student is coming. 6、the number of+复数名词,谓语用单数,中心词是number。 二、意义一致:

Young P注意:① 若and所连接的两个词是指同一个人 或物时,它后面的谓语动词就应用单数形式。如:The writer and artist has come.; / ② 由and连接的并列单数主语前如果分别有no, each, evan a (an) , many a (an)修饰时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。如:Every student and every teacher wa/ No boy and no girl l、主语为单数名词或代词,尽管后面跟有with, together with, except, but, like, as well as, rather thaan, no less than, besides, including等引起的短语,谓 语动词仍用单数形式;若主语为复数,谓语用复数形式。如:Mr Ggether wwife and children, haa. / Nobody but Jim and Mike walayground. / She, like you and Tom, is very tall. 4、ach, every 或no +单数名词和由some, avery 构成的复合不定代词,都作单数看待。如:Each of us has a new book. / Everything around us is ma注意:① 在口语中当either或neither后跟有“of+复数名词(或代词)”作主语时,其谓语动词也可用复数。如:Nxts is (are)g. ② 若none of后面的名词是不可数名词,它的谓语动词就要用单数;若它后面的名词是复数,它的谓语动词用单数或复数都可以。如:None of us has (have) been to America.

高考英语 第十五章 主谓一致知识精讲

英语中的主谓一致 [知识精讲] 主谓一致是指: 一、语法形式上要一致,即单复数形式与谓语要一致。 ●I often help him and he often helps me. ●We often help each other and learn from each other. 二、意义上要一致,即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致。 1)主语形式虽然为单数,意义为复数的,谓语动词用复数。有些集体名词可为单数也可为复数,主要依据意思而定:如果指整体用单数,如果指这个集体中的个体时则用复数。 ●His family is not very large.(他的“家”是指整体) ●His family are all music lovers.(他的“家人”是指家里的个体) 注意: 集体名词中有一类只当复数看待的词,或者我们只把它们看作复数的词,那么它们的谓语只能用复数,象:cattle,folk,people,police,youth等等,这里要提一下的是people这个词,如果它所表示的是民族的话,那么它的谓语就用单数. 2)主语形式为复数,而意义上为单数,谓语动词用单数。形复意单的词有:news,works,trousers,pants,shorts,glasses,scissors和一些以s结尾的书名、组织机构的名称以及以ics 结尾的学科名称等。 ●Physics is a difficult subjiect. ●Her glasses are new. 但是当这类词前有a pair of 修饰时,谓语动词应用单数形式。 ●This pair of pants is fit for me. 三、就近原则,即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语, 1、并列结构作主语时。 1)由and 并列的两个名词做主语时,如果表示的是一个同一概念或者单数概念,谓语动词用单数,否则用复数 ●The iron and steel industry is very important. ●The teacher and poet often gives lectures around the city. 2)当each...and each...;every...and every...;no...and no...;many a.. and many a...结构作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。 ●No man and no animal is to be found on the moon. ●Many a doctor and many a nurse is busy with their work. 3)由not only…but also…; neither…nor…; either…or…并列两个主语时,谓语动词和就近的保持一致 ●Not only the students but also the teacher wants to see the film.

高一英语“主谓一致”用法归纳 一、基本概念 所谓一致关系(Agreement)就是在英语句子中各个成分之间必须在人称、数、性等方面要保持一定的语法关系。在英语中最主要的一致关系是主语与谓语动词之间的一致。在判断一个句子主语、谓语是否一致时,要遵循下列三个原则:语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近一致原则。一般来说,主语的单复数形式决定着谓语动词需要采用的单复数形式。比较:The student studies very hard.这个学生学习非常努力。The students study very hard.这些学生学习非常努力。 主谓一致的原则说起来简单,但在实际使用中遇到的情况要复杂很多。在处理主谓一致的问题时,可依据上面提到的三个原则。“语法一致”也就是平常说的从语法形式上取得一致,即主语为单数形式,谓语动词亦用单数形式。“意义一致”就是从意义着眼来处理主谓语一致问题。有时,主语形式为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词依意义而定,也采用复数形式。“就近原则”是指谓语动词的人称和数往往和其最近的主语保持一致。 二、基本用法 1.集合名词与谓语动词的一致 集合名词作主语,如果表示整体概念,谓语动词用单数形式;如果强调其成员,则用复数形式。常用的集合名词有: army,audience,class,club,committee,company,couple,crowd,family,flock,group,government,j-ury, majority,minority,organization,party,personnel,publ-ic,staff,team,union等。 The football team are discussing the problem with the coach now. 足球队员们现在正在与教练讨论这个问题。 The police have caught the criminal.警察已经逮捕了那个罪犯。 The majority were/was for the proposal.大多数人赞同这个提议。 Only a minority of students receive the scholarship.只有少数学生获得了奖学金。 【注意】 (1)有些有生命的集合名词作主语时,谓语动词只用复数。这样的名词常用的有:cattle,people,police,folk等。 The cattle are grazing in the fields.牛在田里吃草。 (2)无生命的集合名词作主语时,谓语动词常用单数形式。这样的名词常用的有:clothing,furniture,machinery,jewellery等。 Warm clothing is necessary in cold climates.气候寒冷的地方需要暖和的衣服。 All the furniture has been moved to another room. 所有家具已经搬到了另一个房间里。 2.由either...or...,neither...nor...,not only...but(also)...连接的两个名词或代词作主语时,主谓一致遵循就近原则,即谓语动词应与最近的一个主语的人称和数保持一致。 Either he or I am wrong.不是他错就是我错。 Not only the students but(also) the teacher is active in sports and games.不但学生,就连老师都积极参加体育运动。 Does neither the teacher nor the students know this matter? 教师和学生都不知道这件事吗? 【经典回放】 Either you or one of your students ______ to attend the meeting that is due tomorrow.
