高中英语语法之主谓一致精讲
一、指导原则
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.
She wants to go home.
They are divorcing each other.
The bird built a nest.
（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.
The United States is a developed country.
This pair of trousers costs fifty dollars.
（三）就近原则
有时，谓语动词的单、复数形式决定于最靠近它的词语。
例如：
Either my grandsons or their father is coming.
No one except his daughters agree with him.
Mary and her sisters are baking a cake.
Neither Richard nor I am going.
二、以集合名词做主语的主谓一致问题
有些集合名词: committee,councilrowd,family,gang,government,group,mob,staff,team, union等，在意义上是复数，但在语法形式上是单数，这类名词作主语的主谓一致问题往往遵循“语法一致”或“意义一致”原则。例如：The committee has/have decided to dismiss him.
The present government is trying to control inflation.
The school staff are expected to supervise school meals.
（一）通常作复数的集体名词
包括police, people, cattle, militia, vermin等，这些集体名词通常用作复数。
例如：The British police have only very limited powers.
The militia were called out to guard the borderland.
It seems the cattle on the sides of the dikes were the only living creatures in these desolate surroundings.
（二）通常作不可数名词的集体名词
通常作不可数名词的集体名词，包括poultry, foliage，machinery, equipment, furniture,
merchandise等,这类名词后的动词用单数形式。
例如：Poultry is expensive at this time of year.
That green foliage was restful.
The merchandise has arrived undamaged.
All the machinery in the factory is made in China.
The suite of furniture he bought was of contemporary style.
The equipment of the photographic studio was expensive.
（三）可作单数也可作复数的集体名词
可作单数也可作复数的集体名词,包括audience, committee, crew, family, government, jury等。
例如：The audience was/were enthusiastic on the opening night of the play.
The committee has/have decided to dismiss him.
The jury is/are about to announce the winners.
三、a committee, etc of +复数名词的主谓一致问题
如果主语是由a committee of /a panel of /a (the) board of +复数名词构成，随后的动词通常用单数。
例如： A committee of twelve men is to discuss the matter.
A panel of experts has considered the situation.
The board of managers is responsible for the firm.
四、以-s结尾的名词作主语的主谓一致问题
英语可数名词的规则复数形式是在词尾加-s或-es，但是有一些以-s结尾的名词并不是可数名词。它们用法多样，造成了实际使用上的困难，以下详述了以-s结尾的名词作主语的主谓一致问题。
（一）以-s结尾的疾病名称作主语的主谓一致问题
（二）以-s结尾的游戏名称作主语的主谓一致问题
（三）以-s结尾的地理名称作主语的主谓一致问题
（四）以-ics结尾的学科名称作主语的主谓一致问题
（五）其它以-s结尾的名词的主谓一致问题
（一）以-s结尾的疾病名称作主语的主谓一致问题
以-s结尾的疾病名称作主语的主谓一致问题,如：arthritis,bronchitis,diabetes,mumps,phlebitis,rickets,这类以-s 结尾的疾病名称作主语时，谓语动词通常用作单数。
例如：Arthritis causes great pain in the joints of the patient.
The diabetes is a kind of chronic disease.
Measles usually occurs in children.
（二）以-s结尾的游戏名称作主语的主谓一致问题
以-s结尾的游戏名称作主语时，谓语动词通常用作单数。
例如：Darts is basically a easy game.
Marbles is not confined to children.
Skittles is not fashionable nowadays.
但当Darts，Marbles等的意义为游戏器具而非游戏名称时，谓语动词通常用作复数。
例如：Three darts are thrown at each turn.
All nine skittles were brought down by the good throw.
（三）以-s结尾的地理名称作主语的主谓一致问题
某些以-s结尾的地理名称，如果是国名，如the United States，the Netherlands等，因其是单一政治实体，所以谓语动词用作单数。
例如：The United States was hit by the Great Depression in 1930s'.
In early January 1996 the Netherlands was hit by its worst storm since 1976.
但如果是群岛、山脉、海峡、瀑布等地理名称作主语，谓语动词用作复数。
例如：The West Indies are commonly divided into two parts.
The Himalayas have a magnificent variety of plant.
The Straits of Gibraltar have not lost their strategic importance.
（四）以-ics结尾的学科名称作主语的主谓一致问题
某些以-ics结尾的学科名称作主语时，如physics,mathematics,mechanics, optics, acoustics, politics statistics, economics, linguistics, athletics等, 谓语动词通常用作单数。
例如：Physics is a fundamental subject in science.
The third world economics is promising.
Acoustics studies the science of sound.
Mathematics is an interesting subject.
但如果这类名词表示学科以外的其它含义，可作复数用。
例如：Athletics have been greatly encouraged at this college.
The acoustics of the new concert hall are perfect.
The economics of the project are still at issue.
（五）其它以-s结尾的名词的主谓一致问题
A.以-s结尾的由两部分组成的物体名称作主语
英语中有一些通常以-s结尾的由两部分组成的物体名词，如glasses, pincers, pliers, scissors, shorts, suspenders, trousers等，这类名词做主语，如果不带“一把”、“一副”等单位词，谓语动词通常用复数。
例如：Mary's glasses are new.
John's trousers are black.
如果带有单位词，则由单位词决定动词的单、复数形式。
例如：One pair of pincers isn't enough.
Two pairs of scissors are missing from my tool box.
B.其他以-s结尾的名词
英语中还有一些以- s结尾的名词，如archives，arms,clothes, contents, eaves, fireworks, goods, minutes, morals, remains stairs, suburbs, thanks,wages这类名词作主语时，谓语动词通常用复数。
例如：The archives of the country are kept in the Department of Security.
The contents of the book are most amusing.
High wages often result in high prices.
五、如果句子的主语是并列结构，其主谓一致问题通常遵循以下原则：
（一）由and/both...and连接的并列主语的主谓一致问题
（二）由or/nor/either...or连接的并列主语的主谓一致问题
（三）主语+ as much as, etc的主谓一致问题
（一）由and/both...and连接的并列主语的主谓一致问题
由and/both...and连接的并列结构作主语，可根据主语的意义决定谓语动词的单、复数形式。
例如：Pancakes and syrup is a tasty breakfast.
The number and diversity of British newspaper is considerable.
Good and bad taste are inculcated by example.
Both Cathy and her daughter Lida have gone fishing in Canada.
当and连接的并列名词词组带有each，every,或者many a 等限定词时，谓语动词通常用单数。
例如：Each man and each woman there is asked to help.
Every flower and every bush is to be cut down.
Every change of season, every change of weather, indeed every hour of the day,（二）由or/nor/either...or连接的并列主语的主谓一致问题
由or, nor, either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also连接的并列结构作主语，随后的动词形式通常按照“就近原则”处理。
例如：Neither Lucy nor Carol has any money left.
Neither sleet nor snow stops him from driving his new Mercedes-Benz.
Either Tina or Carol is sure to know the answer.
Not only one, but all of us are hoping to be there.
（三）主语+ as much as, etc的主谓一致问题
当主语后面跟有由as much as, rather than , more than, no less than 等引导的从属结构，或跟有由as well as, in addition to ,with, along with, together with, except等引导的词组时，其后的动词形式取决主语的形式。
例如：The vessel, with its entire crew and cargo was lost.
The ocean, as well as the gulf and the bay, provides good fishing.
John, rather than his roommates, is to blame.
Hugh, as well as his two sisters, is vacationing in Wyoming this summer.
Some of the employees as much as the manager were responsible for the failure.
My husband, more than anyone else in the family, is longing to go there again.
六、以表示数量概念的名词词组作主语的主谓一致问题
数量概念分两类：一类是确定数量，如two years, five seconds, three kilos,等，另一类是非确定数量，如all of..., some of..., none of...。如果用这类表示数量概念的名词词组作主语，会产生主谓一致问题。
（一）以表示确定数量的名词词组作主语的主谓一致问题
（二）以表示非确定数量的名词词组作主语的主谓一致问题
（一）以表示确定数量的名词词组作主语
当主语为表示确定数量的名词词组时，如果数量概念被看做一个整体，动词用单数，如果被看做组成该数量的个体，动词用复数。
例如：The treasurer considered that twenty dollars was not too much to ask.
"Two months is too short a time," General manager warned, "we must hurry up."
Three weeks is needed to complete the task.
A total of 50,000 new bicycles was registered in the year.
如果作主语的名词词组是由“分数/百分数+ of”词组构成，其动词形式取决于of词组中名词的类别。
例如：Two-thirds of the people present is against the plan.
Three-fourths of the surface of the earth is covered by sea.
Over twenty percent of the city was destroyed in the war.
Forty-five percent of the doctors were woman.
两数相减或相除，谓语动词用单数；两数相加或相乘，谓语动词可用单数，也可用复数。
例如：Sixty minus seventeen leaves forty-three.
Forty-two divided by six is seven.
Six and eight makes/make fourteen.
如果主语由"one in/one out of + 复数名词" 构成，在正式语体中，动词用单数。
例如：One in ten students has passed the examination.
One out of twelve bottles was left intact.
（二）以表示非确定数量的名词词组作主语的主谓一致问题
如果主语由"a portion of, a series of, a pile of, a panel of +名词"或由“a kind/sort/type of, this kind/sort/type of+名词” 构成，谓语动词通常用单数。
例如： A panel of us has decided to hire a boat and travel through Holland by canal.
A pile of apple logs was set beside the hearth.
This kind of cars is rather expensive.
That type of machines is up-to-date.
如果主语是由“many a +名词" 或“more than one +名词"构成，随后的动词遵循“语法一致”原则，用单数。例如：Many a person in these circumstances has hoped for a long break.
More than one student has failed the exam.
More than one ship was lost this year.
如果主语是all of, some of,none of, half of, most of,lots of,loads of ,plenty of,等表示非确定数量的名词词组，谓语动词的单、复数形式根据of词组中名词类别而定。
例如：Most of the money was recovered by Deputy Player.
All of the cargo was lost.
None of my friends ever come to see me.
Half of the students are eager to leave now.
Lots of people are waiting outside.
Loads of apples have been distributed among the children.
英语：走出“主谓一致”的三大误区
句子的核心是谓语动词，谓语动词的确定取决于主语。根据句子含义和结构认准主语是掌握主谓一致的必要条件；弄清主谓一致的语言规则和习惯是掌握主谓一致的充分条件，要正确使用主谓一致，两个条件缺一不可，但同学们往往会走入以下三大误区。
误区一误认主语
1. 倒装句
①Between the two buildings are a big tree. (×）
②Between the two buildings is a big tree. (√)
[解析] 第①句谓语动词使用are，错误地认为the two buildings是该句的主语，但实际上是介词between的宾语，一起构成介词短语，而介词短语不能充当主语。该句是一个倒装句，真正主语是a big tree.因此第②句正确。
特别提醒倒装句的常见结构：副词/介词短语+谓语+主语
2. 主语之后带有介词短语
①The fruit like apples, oranges are good for our health. (×）
②The fruit like apples, oranges is good for our health. (√)
[解析] 第①句误认为apples, oranges是主语，因此谓语动词用are，而实际上the fruit才是该句的主语，like apples，oranges是介词短语作后置定语修饰the fruit.该句译为“像苹果、桔子之类的水果对我们的身体是有好处的”。因此第②句是正确的。
特别提醒类似的结构有：主语+with / like / except / but / together with / as well as . . . ，谓语动词应与主语一致，而与介词短语之后的名词无关。
3. One of . . . + 名词复数或复数代词
①There are twenty boys in our class. One of the boys are from Canada. (×）
②There are twenty boys in our class. One of the boys is from Canada. (√)
[解析] one of the boys的中心词是one，因此谓语动词用单数，造成第①句错误的原因主要是把the boys当成了该句的主语。
4. 定语从句
①I like the photos which was taken in Beijing. (×）
②I like the photos which were taken in Beijing. (√)
[解析] which were taken in Beijing是一个定语从句，用于修饰先行词the photos，而which本身就代替先行词the photos.因此谓语动词要用复数，造成第①句错误的原因是没有弄清楚关系词which的实质，只是从形式上看它是单数。
特别提醒定语从句中的谓语动词应该与先行词保持一致。
误区二被主语的表象迷惑
1. 看似复数却表单数概念
①Maths are my favourite subject. (×）
②Maths is my favourite subject. (√)
[解析] maths本身是一个以“s”结尾的单词，而不是一个复数名词，表示单数概念“数学”这一学科，因此第②句正确。
类似的有：physics，news，politics . . .
2. 看似单数却表复数概念
①The police is searching for the robbers. (×）
②The police are searching for the robbers. (√)
[解析] the police译为“警方”，表示复数概念，而不是表示“那个警察”，因此第②句正确，类似的词有：people，the +形容词，the +姓+family等均表复数概念。
3. 名词的单复数同形
①There are a little sheep eating grass on the hill. Can you see it？(×）
②There is a little sheep eating grass on the hill. Can you see it？(√)
[解析] sheep是一个单复数形式相同的名词，由于sheep之前用的a little修饰，加上Can you see it 中的it指代单数，因此a little sheep译为“一只小绵羊”，因此第②句正确。如果将原题改为：There ________ (be) a few sheep eating grass on the hill. Can you see them？那又会怎么样呢。
特别提醒类似的单复数形式相同的词还有fish, Chinese, Japanese等，要根据句子的含义和结构暗示来判断其单复数。
4. 集合名词
①Their family is very happy. Now their family is watching TV. (×）
②Their family is very happy. Now their family are watching TV. (√)
[解析] family是一个集合名词，表示整体概念时谓语用单数，表示个体概念时谓语用复数。该句译为“他们全家很幸福，现在全家人正在看电视”。因此第一个family表示整体概念，译为“家庭”，第二个family表示个体概念，译为“家人”，第②句正确。
特别提醒类似的还有group，class，team等既可表单数也可表复数。
误区三误用语言规则
1. 表示时间、距离、金钱、重量、数量等名词作主语
①Ten years are quite a long time. (×）
②Ten years is quite a long time. (√)
[解析] 表示时间、距离、金钱、重量、数量等名词的复数作主语时看作一个整体，谓语动词要用单数，容易错误理解为复数而出现第①句的错误。
2. 由and连接的并列主语
①The twentieth lesson and last lesson are very easy for students. (×）
②The twentieth lesson and last lesson is very easy for students. (√)
[解析] the twentieth lesson and last lesson是表示同一概念，译为“第20课即最后一课”，因此谓语动词应该用单数。同学们容易错误理解“第20课和最后一课”，如果表示两课，应该表达为“the twentieth lesson and the last lesson”。
特别提醒由and连接的并列主语表示同一概念时，谓语动词用单数，表示不同的概念时谓语动词用复数。
3. 就近原则
①Neither you nor he have been to Beijing. (×）
②Neither you nor he has been to Beijing. (√)
[解析] neither . . . Nor连接的并列主语(you ，he)虽然表示两个人，但根据语言规则，当它连接并列主语的时候，谓语动词根据就近原则，该由he决定，因此第②句正确。
特别提醒类似的还有either . . . Or，not only . . . But also，not . . . But，以及there be之后的并列主语，谓语动词的确定都根据“就近原则”。
4. This kind of，a piece of，this pair of等短语作主语
①This pair of trousers are very new, but Tom’s trousers are very old. (×）
②This pair of trousers is very new, but Tom’s trousers are very old. (√)
[解析] trousers作主语时，谓语动词用复数，但当它被this pair of修饰时谓语动词由pair的单复数确定。因此第②句正确。
特别提醒this kind of，a piece of，a bag of，a box of等，这类短语作主语时谓语动词的单复数由这些短语中的名词决定，而与它们所修饰的名词无关。
5. The rest of, half of等短语作主语
①Half of the students have finished most of the work. The rest of it are very difficult. (×）
②Half of the students have finished most of the work. The rest of it is very difficult. (√)
[解析] 根据句意和句子结构可以判断the rest of it中的it，指the work，而work是不可数名词，因此第②句正确。
特别提醒all of，most of，half of，the rest of，以及a lot of，some，any+名词作主语时，要根据后面的名词确定谓语动词的单复数。
6. 一句话提示
①合成不定代词(如something，anybody等)作主语，谓语动词用单数；
②动名词、不定式、从句作主语时，谓语动词用单数；
③a number of +名词(复)作主语，谓语用复数，the number of +名词(复)作主语，谓语用单数；
④none of . . . 作主语时，谓语动词可用单数，也可用复数。

语法复习二、主谓一致 语法复习二、主谓一致 在英语句子里，谓语受主语支配，其动词必须和主语在 人称和数上保持一致，这就叫主谓一致。寻其规律，大 致可归纳为三个原则，即语法一致、逻辑意义一致和就 近一致原则。 （一）语法一致原则：语法上一致就是谓语动词和主语在单、复数形式上保持一致。 1、以单数名词或代词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句作主语时，谓语动词一般用单数形式；主语为 复数时，谓语动词用复数形式。如：His faworkingarm. / To study English wellasy. / What he said is vant for us all. / The children wlawo hours ago. / Readingun is bad for you注意：由what引导的主语从句，后面的谓语动词多数情况用单数形式，但若表语是 复数或what从句是一个带有复数意义的并列结构时，主句的谓语动词用复数形式。如：What I bought wglish books. / What I say and do is (are) helpful to you. 2、由连接词and或both … and连接起来的合成主语后面，要用复数形式的谓语动词。如：Lucy and Lily are twins. / She and I are classmates. / The boy and the girl were surprised ward the news. / Band he are
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.
主谓一致包括语法一致、意义一致和就近一致。 一．语法一致即在语法形式上取得一致，谓语动词的单复数形式由主语的单复数形式决定。 1. 单数名词、不可数名词、单个动词不定式短语、动名词短语以及句子作主语时，谓语动词要用单数形式。 To see is to believe. 眼见为实。 Reading aloud is very important in learning English. 学习英语时大声朗读非常重要。 2. 由连接词and或both …and连接的名词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语以及句子作主语时，谓语动词要用复数形式。 Both his father and his mother are advanced workers. 他的爸爸和妈妈都是先进工作者。 注意：有时，一些用and连接的主语表达的却是单数的概念，这时谓语动词也应用单数形式。 （1）用and连接的名词表示同一人、同一物或同一概念作主语时Bread and butter is nutritious for patients. 黄油面包对病人很有营养。 （2）“each/every/no/ many a + 单数名词+ and + each/every/no/many a + 单数名词”作主语时 Every hour and every minute is precious. 每一小时，每一分钟，都很宝贵。
3. “名词+as well as, rather than, like, but, expect, besides, with, together with, along with, including, in addition to+ 名词”结构作主语时，谓语动词同第一个名词的数保持一致。 Tom as well as two of his friends was invited to the party. 汤姆以及他的两个朋友一起被邀请参加宴会了。 4. “more than one 或many a + 单数名词”作主语时，尽管其意义为复数，但谓语动词还是用单数形式。 More than one student is against the decision. 不止一个学生反对这个决定。 Many a page in this book is missing. 这本书缺了许多页。 5. 不定代词either, neither, each, every 或no +单数名词和由some, any, no, every与thing, body, one构成的复合不定代词作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。 Nothing in the world moves faster than light. 世上没有什么东西比光传播得更快。 注意：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形式；若它后面的名词是复数，它的谓语动词用单数形式或复数形式都可以。 None of the money has been spent on repairs. 这笔钱没有花费在维修方面。 6. 由“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, the rest of, the majority of + 名词”
语法复习专题主谓一致 一、考点聚焦 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。The number of students in our school_________1,700. Mary and Kelly________ 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。 The crowd ______ runing for their lives. 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。 The news is very exciting. 形复意单的单词有new、works（工厂）、means和以ics结尾的学科名称physics、poli-tics、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。如果连词or、either … or、neither … nor、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。 you or I________ mad. 4、应注意的若干问题 （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，谓语用单数，反之用复数。My family_________going out for a trip. The whole family _________ watching TV. 这类词常有audience、class club、committee、company、crew、crowd、enemy、government、group、party、public、team等。 Population和“a group(crowd)of + 复数名词”也适用于这种情况，强调整体用单数，强调各个部分用复数。 ②某些集体名词如people、police、cattle、oxen只当复数看待，谓语动词必须用复数。 ③单、复数同形的名词作主语时，谓语动词应根据意义决定单、复数。 A sheep ________over there. Some sheep________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、工场、住宅等；作主语时，动词一般用单数。My uncle’s________not for from here. 常见的省略名词有the baker’s 、the barbar’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_________a lot of old 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。Thirty years ________ passed. Five minutes _______enough to finish the task. 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 in my class ________a dictionary. ⑦如果主语有more than one … 或many a … 构成，尽管从意义上看是复数内容，它的谓语动词用单数形式。More than one student _____ seen the play. Many a boy________ bought that kind of toy. 但是，“more + 复数名词+ than one”结构之后，谓语用复数。 ⑧一些由两个部分构成的名词表示衣物或工具作主语时，谓语通常用复数形式。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。 A pair of shoes ________ on the desk. ⑨this kind of book = a book of this kind(这种书)，其谓语动词；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的谓语用单数，men of this kind和these kind of men的谓语用复数，all kinds of后跟复数名词，谓语用复数形式。如： This kind of men _______dangerous. Men of theis kind/sort ________dangerous. ⑩复数形式的单、复数同形名词作主语时，按意义一致的原则，用作单数意义时，谓语用单数，反之，谓语用复数。这类名词有means、works、species(种类)、Chinese、Japanese等。当它们的前面有a、such a、this、that修饰时，谓语用单数；有all、such、these、those修饰时，谓语用复数。 (11)如果名词词组中心词是all、most、half、rest等词语，所指是复数意义，谓语动词用复数形式，反之用单数。 All of my students work hard. All of the oil _______gone. (12)在主谓倒装的句子中，谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如： Between the two windows __________an oil painting.(hang) （2）由连接词连接的名词作主语。 ①用and或both … and 连接并列主语，谓语动词通常用复数形式。但如果并列主语指的是同一个人，同一事物或同一概念时，谓语动词用单数形式，这时and后面的名词没有冠词。 Truth and honesty ________the best policy. To love and to be loved _______the great happiness. Going to bed early and getting up early _______a good habit. A knife and fork_________ on the table. ②当主语后面跟有as well as、as much as、no less than、along with、with、like、rather than、together with、but、except、besides、including、in addition to等引导的词组时，采取“就远原则”。 ③以or、either … or、neigher … nor、not only … but also等连接的词作主语时，采
小学英语语法中的主谓一致 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。 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。 Ten thousand tons of coal were produced last year. 1 并列结构作主语时谓语用复数 Reading and writing are very important. 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。 The iron and steel industry is very important to our life. 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。 2 主谓一致中的靠近原则 1)当there be 句型的主语是一系列事物时，谓语应与最邻近的主语保持一致。 There is a pen, a knife and several books on the desk.. There are twenty boy-students and twenty-three girl-students in the class. 2)当either or 与neither nor，连接两个主语时，谓语动词与最邻近的主语保持一致。如果句子是由here, there引导，而主语又不止一个时，谓语通常也和最邻近的主语一致。 Either you or she is to go. Here is a pen, a few envelops and some paper for you. 3 谓语动词与前面的主语一致

主谓一致的用法及专项练习题 一、主谓一致三原则 主谓一致是指谓语动词与主语在人称和数上保持一致，主谓一致必须遵循三原则：语法一致原则，意义一致原则，就近一致原则。 1. 语法一致原则：指主语是单数形式，谓语动词用单数形式，主语是复数形式，谓语也用复数形式。 Tom is a good student. 汤姆是个好学生。 They often play football on the playground. 他们经常在操场上踢足球。 2. 意义一致：指主语形式上为单数，但意义为复数，因此谓语动词用复数形式；或主语形式上为复数,但表示单数意义，这是谓语动词用单数形式。 My family is having lunch now. 我们一家人现在正吃午饭。 Twenty dollars is too expensive for the book. 这本书20美元太贵了。 3. 就近一致：指谓语动词用单数形式还是用复数形式，取决于最靠近他的主语。例如： Not only the teacher but also his students like playing football. 不仅老师喜欢踢足球，而且他的学生也喜欢踢足球。 There is a pen and some books on the desk. 课桌上有一支钢笔和一些书。 二、主谓一致常考题型 1. 单数名词(代词)，不可数名词作主语时，谓语用单数形式，复数名词(代词)作主语，谓语用复数形式。 The desk is Tom’s. 这张桌子是汤姆的。 Some water is in the bottle. 一些水在瓶子里。 The students are playing football on the playground. 这些学生正在操场上踢足球。 2. many a+单数名词作主语，意义虽为“许多”，但谓语要用单数形式。 Many a student has been to Shanghai. 许多学生到过上海。 3. more than one+单数名词作主语，谓语用单数。 More than one student has ever been to Beijing. 不止一个学生曾经去过北京。 4. 表示时间，价格，重量，数目，长度，数学运算等的词或短语作主语时，这些通常作一个整体概念，谓语用单数形式。例如： Two months is a long holiday. 两个月是一个长假。 Twenty pounds isn’t so heavy. 20英镑并不太重。 Ten miles isn’t a long distance. 10英里并不是一段很长的距离。 Five minus four is one. 5减4等于1。 5. 主语是each/every+单数名词+and(each/every)+单数名词时，谓语动词用单数。 Each boy and each girl has got a seat. 每个男孩和女孩都有一个座位。
主谓一致语法总结 ----安顺一中曹方平供稿 一．就近原则：在not only…but also, not…but , neither…nor , either…or , there be…句型中， 谓语动词由相邻的主语来确定。 例：only they but also I am going to collect money for the Hope Project. you or Jack is about to take the place of the manager. 二．集合名词做主语，指成员时，谓语用复数；指团体，组织时，谓语用单数：如：class , team, group, family, audience(听众), government, company, crowd, public, enemy, committee(委员会) 等。 例：class are busy working on the exercises at the moment . team was an excellent one in the 25th Olympic Games . 三．当两个名词用with, together with, as well as, rather than, more than, but, except, besides, along with, including, like 等连接起来做主语时，谓语动词与前面的主语一致。 例：, with his parents, intends to set out for Europe on business next week. son, rather than his parents, is responsible for the fire accident.(对火灾事故负责的是儿子而不是父母) 四．当each, neither, either 以及由every, any, no, some 与one, body, thing 构成的不定代词做主语时，谓语动词用单数。 例：of the girls is fond of pop music in her class. is expecting you at the school gate . 但none 做主语时谓语用单复数都行。 例：None of them are / is interested in local music. 另外：当every, each, no 做定语时，即使用and 连接两个主语，谓语也用单数。 例：student is preparing for the final examination now. boy and every girl is proud of the result of the experiment. teacher and no student is admitted to enter the place . each have an English dictionary .(此句中each 做同位语，谓语由主语they确定) 五.当主语表示时间，重量，距离，价格时，谓语动词用单数。 例：hundred dollars is quite enough for the return voyage (返航)。 kilometers was covered in two hours . 但算式做主语时，谓语用单数，复数都可以。 例：times five is / are twenty. ( Four times five make /makes twenty .) 六．当主语是一个从句，不定式或动名词时，谓语一般用单数。但由and 连接两个不定式或动名词时，动词则用复数，表示不同的两件事。 例：he succeeds or fails doesn't concern me . (他成功或失败与我无关) in the Yangtze River needs great courage. say something is one thing, to do it is another. play basketball and to go swimming are of great use for character-training. 另外：当what, all (that) 或such 引导的句子做主语时，谓语用单数或复数应看后面的表语来确定. 例：he wants is some advice on how to learn English, while what he looks forward to are some English dictionaries. that they ask for are vegetables, fruits , quilts and clothes . are the things I often do in a day.
