第二节名词与主谓一致

名词可分为专有名词(Proper Noun)和普通名词(Common Noun),专有名词主要指人名、地名及其他专有名称,如China ,Columbus , Hong Kong , Tom , Diana等。普通名词是一类人或东西,或一个抽象概念,如book,joy等。普通名词可分为以下四类:

1.个体名词(Individual Noun):表示某类人或事物中的个体,如:women,pig,treed,desk,pen。

2.集体名词(Collective Noun):表示个体的人或事物组成的集合体,如:people,family,audience,crowd,flock,swarm。

4.抽象名词(Abstract Noun):表示动作、状态、品质、感情等抽象概念及学科、疾病等名称的词,如:work,peace,democracy,truth,joy,fear。

个体名词和集合名词一般可以用数目来计算,称为可数名词(Countable Nouns),物质名词和抽象名词一般无法用数目计算,称为不可数名词(Uncountable Nouns)。

一、集体名词的数

1. 通常作不可数名词的集体名词

clothing 衣物furniture家具baggage/luggage行李equipment设备

jewelry 珠宝traffic交通information 信息foliage叶子,植物

machiner y 机械merchandise商品produce产物scenery风景

这类集体名词的用法与不可数名词相当。

形式上总是单数,没有复数形式,作主语时,谓语用单数。如:

Our clothing protects us form cold.衣服保护我们免受寒冷。

The machinery is made in China.这些机器是中国制造的。

不可直接与a(n)或数词连用。表数量时用much, little, some, a piece of, an article of等。如:Each room has four pieces of furniture.每间房有四件家具。

若需用代词,用单数代词,如:

Do you want to see my jewelry? It is in the box.你想看我的珠宝吗?它在我的箱子里。

2. 通常作复数的集体名词

police警察cattle牛,家畜poultry 家禽vermin害虫

The cattle provide us with milk,0eef and hides.牛给我们提供牛奶、牛肉和皮革。

3.既可作单数也可作复数的集体名词

army军队enemy敌军union联盟audience听众

public公众,人群mankind人类,〔C〕男子

这些集体名词当作一个整体时,用作单数,且常常与定冠词the连用;若考虑构成这些集体的各个成员时,看作复数。如:

The jury consists of 7 people.陪审团由7个人组成。

The jury are unable to reach a unanimous decision.陪审团成员未能达成意见一致的

裁决。

The family are all fond of football.那一家人都喜欢足球。

The family is the tiniest cell of the society.家庭是社会的最小的细胞。

4.a committee, etc. of+复数名词

如果主语是由“a committee/panel/board... of+复数名词”构成,随后的动词通常用单数。如:A committee of six men and five women is to consider the matter. 六男五女组成的委员会将考虑这个问题。

二、抽象名词

1.抽象名词的数

(1)抽象名词大多是不可数名词,没有单、复数之分,可用语义对应的个体名词来计数。如:

laughter―laugh笑work―job工作correspondence― letter信件

Photograph—photo照片permission—permit许可music—song歌曲fun—joy开心homework—exercise作业

(2)有一些抽象名词是可数的,如:

a victory 一次胜利—two victories 两次胜利

a conference 一次会议—several conferences 几次会议

2. 抽象名词的惯用法

(1)of+抽象名词= 形容词,如:a man of ability = an able man 有能力的人of +great+抽象名词= very+形容词,如:It is of great value = It is very valuable. 这东西很贵重。

of +no+抽象名词= not+形容词,如:It is of no use. = It is not useful. 这东西没有用处。

(2)with/in/by/on+(great+)抽象名词= (very+)副词

in wonder = wonderfully 惊奇地in public = publicly 公开地

by chance/accident = accidentally 偶然by mistake = mistakenly 由于错误地

三、物质名词

物质名词和抽象名词都是不可数名词,按理不能用不定冠词a/an修饰,也没有复数形式。但是,它们有时也用作普通名词,从而具有可数名词的性质。

glass玻璃—a glass玻璃杯—glasses眼镜paper纸—a paper报纸,论文

wine酒—an excellent wine一种好酒sand沙子—sands大面积的沙滩water水—waters大面积的水域food食物—foods多种食物

My earnings this year are not half of yours.我今年的收入不到你的一半。

六、名词属格

1、名词属格的构成

(1)名词属格(Genitive Noun)也叫名词所有格,通常由在名词词尾加上’s或’构成(以S结尾的复数名词加’),用于表示有生命的东西(人或动物),地理名称、天体名称、时间、度量、价值等名词。如:

John’s friend 约翰的朋友children’s books 儿童读物

My fat her’s room我父亲的房yesterday’s newspaper 昨天的报纸

five minutes’ walk 5分钟的路程China’s industry 中国的工业

the two boy’s mother 有两个儿子的母 a teachers’ college 师范大学

everyone else’s opin ion所有其他人的意见

my father-in-law’s death我公公/岳父的死

the University of Minnesota’s president明尼斯达大学的校长

(3)并列名词表示各自的所有关系时,各名词末尾均应加’s,如:

(4)当名词后有另一名词作同位语时,在同位语名词后加’s,如:

Your teacher Miss Lee’s office is over there.你们李老师的办公室在那边。

(5)以/z/音结尾的人名,其属格加’s或’均可,如Dickens’/Dickens’s, Jones’/Jones’s;但以/s/结尾的人名,属格用’s,如Ross’s,Marx’s等。

(6)独立属格(Independent Genitive)

名词属格通常属于名词中心词之前,作限定语或修饰语。有时,名词属格可独立存在,称为“独立属格”。可能产生独立属格的情况有:

●限定或修饰的名词在上下文提及;

●名词属格后接某人的家、教堂、学校、店铺、公司等表示地点的名词时。

The magazine is not mine, but Jackie’s. 这本杂志不是我的,是杰克的。

I met him at the Johnson’s(shop). 我在约翰逊商店遇见了他。

3.名词属格和of词组

(1)名词属格和of词组在意义和用法上有很多相通之处,of词组也表示所有关、主谓关系、

动宾语关系、来源等。如:

the trunk of an elephant =an elephant’s trunk 大象的鼻子(所有关系)

the policy of a company =a company’s policy 公司的政策(所有关系)

the arrival of her mother 相当于her mother arrived 他母亲的到来(主谓关系)

to one’s heart’s content 尽情的at death’s door 在鬼门关

(4)以下情况只能用of词组:

●名词后跟有短语或从句修饰时;

●以定冠词加分词或形容词表示一类人时;

●代词宾格之前用of词组。

the articles of the students who attended the class yesterday 昨天来上课的那些学生文章

the livelihood of poor 穷人的生活the struggle of the exploited 受剥削人多斗争

three of us 我们中的三人many of them 他们中许多人

4.双重所有格

(1)双重所有格(Double possessive)是一种表示部分概念或富有感情色彩的结构,它含有

强调或突出的作用,其结构是“of短语+名词属格”,其涵义是“其中之一”或“其中一部分”。

如:

an old friend of my mother’s 我妈妈的老朋友之一

a picture of my aunt’s 我姑姑的一张照片(她拥有的一张照片,不一定是她本人的照片)

比较:a picture of my aunt 我姑姑的一张照片(她本人的照片)

(2)物主代词不与,these, those, some, any, several, no, each, every, such, another, which等限定

词一起前置修饰名词,而必须用双重属格。结构为:a, an, this,that+名词+of+名词性物主代词。如:

each brother of his 他的每个兄弟(不可用his each brother)

七、主谓一致

一般情况下,主谓之间的一致关系由以下三个原则的支配:语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近原则。

1.不定式、动名词以及从句作主语时应视为单数,谓语动词用作单数形式;但如果主语

为and连接的两个不定式、动名词以及从句时,谓语用复数形式。

7.All are present.全都到齐了。

“all,none,most,majority,part,enough,some,one half,the rest,the reminder,a portion 等+

8.of... ”短语,或者more than... 作主语时,谓语动词的单复数通常由所修饰的名词、代词的数决定。

9. 当中心词为度量、距离、时间、价格等复数名词的时候,谓语动词采用单数形式。

Two miles is a short distance.两英里路很近。

10. 一般来说,不可数名词及可数名词单数的谓语用动词单数,可数名词复数的谓语用动词复数,但当

不可数名词前有表示数量的复数名词时,谓语动词用复数形式。

Ten thousand tons of coal were produced last year.去年生产了1万吨煤。

11. 当主语后面跟有including,with,together with,along with,like,in addition to,as well as,

rather than,as much as,more than,no less than,but,except,accompanied by等连接的短语时,谓语动词不受这些词组的影响,与前面的主语一致。

13. 当or,either…or,neither…nor,not only...but also连接两个以上主语时,谓语动词与最邻近

一致。

故事里,好人总是有好;坏人注定要倒霉。

15. 疑问代词which作主语时,其动词是单数还是复数根据which所指的单复数而定;但

初中英语中主谓一致详解

主谓一致详解 【基础知识】 主谓一致指“人称”和“数”方面的一致关系。对大多数人来说,往往会在掌握主语和随后的谓语动词之间的一致问题上遇到困难。一般情况下,主谓之间的一致关系由以下三个原则支配: 语法一致原则(grammatical concord) 意义一致原则(notional concord) 就近原则(principle of proximity) (一)语法一致原则 用作主语的名词词组中心词和谓语动词在单、复数形式上的一致,就是语法一致。也就是说,如果名词中心词是单数,动词用单数形式;如果名词中心词是复数,动词用复数形式。例如: This table is a genuine antique. Both parties have their own advantages. Her job has something to do with computers. She wants to go home. They are divorcing each other. Mary was watching herself in the mirror. The bird built a nest. Susan comes home every week-end. (二)意义一致原则 有时,主语和谓语动词的一致关系取决于主语的单、复数意义,而不是语法上的单、复数形式,这样的一致关系就是意义一致。例如: Democratic government gradually take the place of an all-powerful monarchy. A barracks was attacked by the guerilla. Mumps is a kind of infectious disease. The United States is a developed country. It is the remains of a ruined palace. The archives was lost.

专题七名词与主谓一致一、考情分析 近年来对名词的考查主要集中在名词词义辨析及并列主语的主谓一致上,其次是名词所有格、抽象名词和物质名词的具体化以及不定数量的词或词组与名词的搭配关系上。 考查考生在理解题干内容的基础上对词汇或语法知识的掌握情况,加重对语境理解及语言知识相融合的考查。 二、名词的数 英语中大多数可数名词都可以通过加-s或–es的方法变为复数名词。不可数名词(抽象或物质)没有复数形式,专有名词一般只有单数形式,只有少数专有名词才有复数形式。 (一)规则变化 (二)一些特殊情况 1. 合成名词变为复数时,通常把主体名词变为复数,如果没有主体名词,将最后一部分变为复数。如: Sons-in-law, passers-by, story-tellers,housewives等

All their baggage was stolen. 他们所有的行李都被偷了。 The furniture is convenient to move. 这家具搬起来很方便。 All the machinery in the factory is made in China. 这个工厂所有的机器都是中国产的。 3. 既可表示单数意义也可表示复数意义的集合名词 family(家庭),team(队,队员),class(班,班上的全体学生),crowd(人群),government(政府),crew(乘务员),committee(委员会),audience(听众),public(公众)等集合名词,当它们表示整体意义时,表单数意义,当它们强调个体意义时,表示复数意义:Her family is a large one. 她的家庭是一个大家庭。 Her family are all tall. 她的一家人都很高。 The team is the best in the league. 这个队在联赛中打得最好。 The football team are having baths. 足球队队员们在洗澡。 It was late, but the audience was increasing. 时间很迟了,但听众人数却在增加。 The audience were all moved to tears. 听众都感动得流了泪。 注有时没有特定的语境,用单复数谓语均可以: The audience was (were) very excited by the show. 观众对演出甚感激动。 The public has (have) a right to know what’s in the report. 公众有权知道这篇报告的内容。

高中英语主谓一致知识点讲解

高中英语主谓一致知识点讲解 本文主要讲解主谓一致,并列结构作主语时谓语用复数主谓一致中的靠近原则谓语动词与前面的主语一致 等常见考点。 主谓一致是指: 1)语法形式上要一致,即单复数形式与谓语要一致。 2)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。 3)就近原则,即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语, 一般来说,不可数名词用动词单数,可数名词复数用动词复数。例如: There is much water in the thermos. 但当不可数名词前有表示数量的复数名词时,谓语动词用复数形式。例如: Ten thousand tons of coal were produced last year. 并列结构作主语时谓语用复数,例如: Reading and writing are very important. 读写很重要。 注意:当主语由and连结时,如果它表示一个单一的概念,即指同一人或同一物时,谓语动词用单数,and 此时连接的两个词前只有一个冠词。例如: The iron and steel industry is very important to our life. 钢铁工业对我们的生活有重要意义。 典型例题 The League secretary and monitor ___ asked to make a speech at the meeting. A. is B. was C. are D. were 答案B. 注:先从时态上考虑。这是过去发生的事情应用过去时,先排除A.,C。本题易误选D,因为The League secretary and monitor 好象是两个人,但仔细辨别,monitor 前没有the,在英语中,当一人兼数职时只在第一个职务前加定冠词。后面的职务用and 相连。这样本题主语为一个人,所以应选B。
