subject and verb
令狐采学
主谓一致主要有以下三个原则：
1、语法一致原则（5种情况）
2、意义一致原则（10种情况）
3、就近原则
语法一致原则1．and连接不同的人或事时作主语时,谓语动词用复数；但如果连接的名词指的是同一人或物, 或同一概念时, 谓语要用单数。The singer and dancer____ going to give us a performance.
The knife and fork ____on the table.
2. 不定式, 动词ing形式或主语从句作主语时,谓语动词用单数。What he is doing seems very important. Collecting stamps is his hobby.
3. 定语从句的关系代词who, which, that在从句中作主语时，要与先行词的人称和数保持一致。
Those who enjoy singing may join us.
Tom, who is your friend, should help you.
I, who am a teacher, lack humor.
4. with, along with, together with, as well as, besides, like, without, except, but, including 如果句子中有这些连接词和主语连用,谓语动词的数随主语的变化而变化。例如：The teacher together with his students, is planting trees in the street.
5. many a, more than one与单数名词组成的短语, 谓语用单
数。Many a boy has seen it. More than one student is required to redo the homework.
意义一致原则
1. 不定代词all, more, some, any, none 作主语,谓语动词视情况而定。All of the apples ____rotten. All of the
apple ____rotten. 2. the rest of; half of; part of; the majority of 等以及分数、百分比在句子中加名词作主语的时候,谓语动词与of 后面的名词保持一致。 Half
of
the
students
_____finished theircomposition. Half
of
the
water
____(pollute). 3. 集合名词作主语，强调整体谓语动词用单数；指全体人员时, 动词则用复数。这一类常见的集合名词有public, family, class, crowd,
audience, team, government, group 。 His
family
____already________(move)t o France.His family ____all music lovers. 4. 某些名词如people, police, cattle 等,形式上是单数, 但
意义上是复数, 谓语动词应用复数。people 指“民族”时是例外。 The
police__________
searching for a thief.
The cattle____________eating grass on the hill.
5. 不定代词作主语, 谓语动词要
用
单
数
，
如
someone ,somebody, something, anybody…等
Someone is asking for you. 6. 某些名词如clothes, trousers, shoes, glasses,pants,shorts 等, 通常只用其复数形式, 但
当它们被a pair of 修饰时,
谓语动词用单数。
Here _____ a new pair of shoes for you.
7．某些名词以s结尾如maths, politics, physics, news, plastics 等，谓语动词应用
单数。
Physics is a very interesting subject.
8. 以a number of 作主语时, 谓语动词用复数; 以the number of 作主语时, 谓语动词用单数。
A number of new books are on the desk.
The number of students in you class is 50.
9. 单复数同形的名词, 作主语的时候, 其谓语动词由上下文决定, 这一类名词有: means, works, deer, fish, sheep, Chinese, Japanese等。
Not every means is useful.。Not all means are useful. 10. 如果主语由“the + 形容词(或过去分词)”结构担任时,谓语通常用复数;这类词有: the brave, the poor, the rich, the blind, the young, the old, the sick, the dead等
就近原则
either ... or; neither ... nor; not only ... but also, whether...or在句子中连接主语的时候或者在there be句型中,谓语动词要和就近的主语保持一致。
应该注意的几个问题:
1. 在主谓倒装的句子中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。例如:Between the two windows ________（hang）a picture.
2.a (large) quantity of 修饰可数或不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词单复数看后面的
名词。
A large quantity of people __________needed here. quantities of 修饰可数或不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词用复数。例如: Quantities of food (nuts)___________ on the table.
3. 表示数量的one and a half 后, 名词要用复数形式, 但是其短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。例如：One and a half bananas is left on the table.
4.书刊名、时间、距离、价格、度量衡等的复数名词作主语时, 谓语动词常用单数。Thirty years is not a long time. Roots is a famous American novel
5. every... and every ...; each ... and each ...; no ... and no ... 在以上短语中and连接的单数名词, 整个短语在句中作主
语时, 谓语动词常使用单
数。
Each man and each woman is

A．one third; have B．one thirds; have C．one third; has D．first three; has 【答案】A 【解析】 试题分析：句意：-妈妈，三分之一的苹果已经坏了。-我们最好尽快吃了。在英语中的分数，分子用基数词，分母用序数词，当分子大于一时，分母要用复数形式。所以选A。 考点：考查分数及主谓一致。 2．Not only his friends but also he ________ always interested in science fiction. A．show B．shows C．are D．is 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】 句意：不仅他的朋友，而且他总是对科幻小说感兴趣。考查主谓一致。not only…but also连接两个主语的时候，谓语动词的数由离其最近的主语来决定，即就近原则，所以此处要根据he来确定谓语动词的形式；因为后面是interested in，所以用be interested in“对…感兴趣”，所以谓语动词用is；故答案选D。 3． students in our class going to the summer camp in Beijing next week. A．Two fifths; is B．Second fifths; are C．Second fifths; is D．Two fifths; are 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】 句意：我们班五分之二的学生打算下周去北京参加夏令营。 表达分数时，分子用基数词，分母用序数词，因此五分之二的表达应该是two fifths，排除B,C；分数后面的名词为复数名词students，根据主谓一致的原则，只能用are，故答案选D。 【点睛】
主谓一致的几个原则 Company number：【0089WT-8898YT-W8CCB-BUUT-202108】
英语语法：主谓一致的几个原则主谓一致有许多原则，概括起来不外乎三种一致原则，即语法形式一致，概念一致（语言内容 上一致），毗邻一致（谓语动词的单复数形式和紧位于其前的主语一致）。 1. 语法形式一致 （1）单数主语、单个动词不定式、动名词短语以及句子作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式。复数 主语，用and或both…and连接的动词不定式短语、动名词短语以及主语从句作主语，谓语动词则 用复数形式。例如： 1) The performance was very funny. 2) Serving the people is my great happiness. 3) Whether we’ll go depends on the weather. 4) Many natural materials are becoming scarce. 5) Both you and I are students. 6) What I think and what I seek have been fairly reflected in my paper. 注1：在what 引导的主语从句中，如果主语补语是复数时，谓语动词用复数形式。 What we have to learn are the pieces of language that produce inversion. 注2：修饰语对主语的数不起影响。例如： The performance of the first three clowns was very funny. （2）由as well as, with, along with, like, together with, rather than, except, but, including, accompanied by, plus, besides, in addition to, no less than 等引起的结构跟在 主语后面，不能看作是并列主语，该主语不受这些词组引导的插入语的影响，主语如是单数，其谓 语动词仍然用单数形式。例如： 1) My mother, as well as my father, has a key to the office. 2) The man together with his wife and children sits there watching TV. 3) His sister no less than you is wrong. 4) The reading course book, plus its reference books, is helpful to college students. 注：有时在with结构里，加上both之后，with就具有and含义。例如： Grandpa Wang with his son, both looking very happy, are taking a walk in the park. (3)有些代词只能指单数可数名词，当它们在句子中作主语时，尽管在意义上是多数，谓语动词 仍要用单数形式。这类代词有either, neither, each, one, the other, another, somebody, someone, something, anyone, anything, anybody, everyone, everything, everybody, no one, nothing, nobody等。例如： 1) Neither likes the friends of the other. (两人都不喜欢对方的朋友。) 2) Everything around us is matter. (我们周围的所有东西都是物质。) (4)在neither of与either of的结构里，一般语法书都认为谓语动词可用单数形式也可用复 数形式，但在美国的TOEFL考试内要求用单数形式。例如：
主谓一致的三大原则 一、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，动词用复数形式： Both my parents are doctors. 我的父母都是医生。 The living-room walls are a light yellow. 客厅的墙是淡黄色。 The two factories are in the same locality. 两家工厂都在同一个地区。 Her job is teaching French. 她的工作是教法语。 The location of the house is near the highway. 房子的地点靠近公路。 A large amount of damage was done in a short time. 短期内造成大量损害。 二、意义一致原则 有时候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. 这条消息对我们很重要。 Paris is among the largest cities in the would. 巴黎是世界上最大的城市之一。 The thesis was about a hundred and fifty pages long. 论文有一百五十页长。 Watch out! The police are coming. 当心，警察来了。 Less people are going to university than usual. 现在上大学的人比平时少。 三、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： Either you or I am wrong. 不是你错了就是我错了。
. ... . . 主谓一致的基本原则主谓一致有以下三条原则：原则，即在语法形式上取得一致。例如，1)语法一致主语是单数形式，谓语动词也采取单数形式；主语是复数形式，谓语动词也采取复数形式。This picture The students are very young．例如：looks beautiful．例如，即从意义着眼处理一致关系。意义一致原则，2)主语形式虽是单数但意义是复数，谓语动词也采取复而有些主语形式虽是复数但意义上看作单数，数形式；谓语动词也采取单数形式。1.The people in that country are fighting for ．independence 2.The crowd deeply respect their leader． ．a long time3.Three years in a strange land seems ，即谓语动词的单数或复数形式取决于最3)就近原则靠近它的词语。例如：Neither he nor I am going to see the film tonight because we are busy．

主谓一致的基本原则 主谓一致有以下三条原则： 1)语法一致原则，即在语法形式上取得一致。例如，主语是单数形式，谓语动词也采取单数形式；主语是复数形式，谓语动词也采取复数形式。 例如：The students are very young．This picture looks beautiful． 2)意义一致原则，即从意义着眼处理一致关系。例如，主语形式虽是单数但意义是复数，谓语动词也采取复数形式；而有些主语形式虽是复数但意义上看作单数，谓语动词也采取单数形式。 1.The people in that country are fighting for independence． 2.The crowd deeply respect their leader． 3.Three years in a strange land seems a long time．3)就近原则，即谓语动词的单数或复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语。例如： Neither he nor I am going to see the film tonight because we are busy． Either ..or … 2．主谓一致的用法 根据以上三条原则，主谓一致有如下用法：

主谓一致三原则 。一般来说,主谓一致要遵循以下三个原则: 一、语法一致原则 主谓一致是指句子的主语和谓语在语法形式上保持一致。 (1)主语后面有as well as, with, together, along with, but, like, except, including等非并列连接性短语时, 谓语动词不受该短语中名词数的影响, 仍和主语在人称和数上保持一致。例如: No one except two boys was late for school. There was a bill along with the parce1. The teacher as well as the students likes this painting. (2)由and或both.…and连接的名词作复合主语时, 谓语动词用复数形式。例如: The red rose and the white rose are very beautifu1. Both bread and butter were sold out in that shop. 但要注意, 如果连接的两个名词表示同一概念, 即指同一个人或物时(其特征是and后的名词没有任何冠词), 则主语表示单数意义。例如: The secretary and principal of the schoo1 was present at the meeting. The writer and poet has decided to be on holiday in Guilin. (3)在each.…and each..., every ...and every..., no...and...后分别跟单数名词作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。例如: There is no sound and no voice in the reading room. In China every man and every woman has the right to vote on this problem. (4) either, each, neither或no +单数名词以及由no, some, any, every等 构成的复合不定代词作主语时,谓语动词都用单数形式。例如: Is everyone here today? Each of us has a new book. Neither is correct. 需要说明的是：在口语中,如果either, neither和none后面有"of +复数名词/代词" 作主语时, 动词用单数或复数形式均可。例如: Neither of them is/are correct. None of the doctors have/has been to the Great Wall. 但要注意"none of+单数名词" 作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。 (5) 动词不定式、动名词或名词性从句作主语时, 谓语动词用单数形式。例如: To say is one thing, to do is another. Seeing is believing. What he has done is right. 但由what引导的主语从句作主语时, 如果其表语是复数形式, 谓语动词通常用复数形式。例如: What he took with him were three books. (6) many a后接单数名词时, 谓语动词用单数形式。例如: Many a pilot was killed in the air raid. (7)由a lot of, lots of, plenty of, the rest/majority of +名词,以及由"分数或百分数+名词" 等构成的短语作主语时, 其谓语动词的单、复数形式则要根据名词的单、复数而定。例如: Two-thirds of the profit was made on that deal. The rest of the students are boys. Two percent of the students in our class are boys.
英语语法：主谓一致的几个原则 主谓一致有许多原则，概括起来不外乎三种一致原则，即语法形式一致，概念一致(语言内容上一致)，毗邻一致(谓语动词的单复数形式和紧位于其前的主语一致)。 1. 语法形式一致 (1) 单数主语、单个动词不定式、动名词短语以及句子作主语，谓语动词要用单数形 式。复数主语，用and或both ??- and连接的动词不定式短语、动名词短语以及主语从句作主语，谓语动词则用复数形式。例如： 1) The performance was very funny. 2) Serving the people is my great happiness. 3) Whether we ' ll go depends on the weather. 4) Many natural materials are becoming scarce. 5) Both you and I are students. 6) What I think and what I seek have been fairly reflected in my paper. 注1：在what引导的主语从句中，如果主语补语是复数时，谓语动词用复数形式。 What we have to learn are the pieces of language that produce inversion. 注2:修饰语对主语的数不起影响。例如： The performance of the first three clowns was very funny. (2) 由as well as, with, along with, like, together with, rather than, except, but, including, accompanied by, plus, besides, in addition to, no less than 等弓I 起的结构跟在主语后面，不能看作是并列主语，该主语不受这些词组引导的插入语的影响， 主语如是单数，其谓语动词仍然用单数形式。例如： 1) My mother, as well as my father, has a key to the office. 2) The man together with his wife and children sits there watching TV. 3) His sister no less than you is wrong. 4) The reading course book, plus its reference books, is helpful to college students. 注：有时在with结构里，加上both之后，with就具有and含义。例如： Grandpa Wang with his son, both looking very happy, are taking a walk in the park. (3) 有些代词只能指单数可数名词，当它们在句子中作主语时，尽管在意义上是多数， 谓语动词仍要用单数形式。这类代词有either, neither, each, one, the other, another, somebody, someone, something, anyone, anything, anybody, everyone, everything, everybody, no one, nothing, nobody 等。例如： 1) Neither likes the friends of the other.( 两人都不喜欢对方的朋友。) 2) Everything around us is matter.( 我们周围的所有东西都是物质。)
一、如果主语是不可数名词, 动名词, 不定式或从句的时候, 谓语动词用单数. Smoking is not a good habit. To live happily needs a lot of things. What I said is true. 二、如果由and 连接的两个做主语的单数名词指的是同一个人或物的时候, 用单数动词. The singer and songwriter is dead. The science and technology plays an important part in China. Bread and butter(=buttered bread) is a good food for patients. “War and Peace ” is the best book I have ever read. 如果由and 连接的两个或更多的主语之前有each, every, manya /an, no 的时候用单数名词. Every boy and girl in the class works very hard. Each minute and second is valuable to us.
三、主语是单数, 后面跟有with, along with, together with,besides, as well as, but, except, no less than,rather than, more than, like, including, in addition to 的时候, 谓语动词用单数. Jack with his family wants to go to China. He, as well as you, is very honest. No one but I is a student. Her brother, together with his wife and children, was killed in the accident. The father, rather than the brothers, is responsible. 四、由some, any, no, every 构成的复合代词(sb,sth---) 和each, either, neither, one, the other, another, little, a little, much, no one, nothing 做主语的时候, 谓语动词用单数. Each of you is cleverer than me. Neither student has passed the exam. Is anybody here 五、b oth, few, a few, several, many 的以及others 做主语
