高中英语语法:主谓一致

1.语法一致原则

(1)谓语的单复数要和主语的单复数相一致。如:

A number of students in our school are from the country.我们学校很多同学来自农村。

The number of students in our school is more than 2000.我们学校的学生人数超过了2000。

(2)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:

In front of the room stands a tree.

房前有棵树。

There are two computers on the desk.

桌子上有两台计算机。

(3)一些由两部分构成的名词表示衣物或工具作主语时,谓语用复数。这类词常见的有:glasses, clothes, trousers, shoes,

compasses, chopsticks, scissors等。如:

The black shoes are nicer.黑鞋较好一点。

The scissors are in the drawer.

剪刀在抽屉里。

但当它们前边有“pair(kind,type,form,

box)+of”结构修饰时,谓语动词用单数还是复数取决于这些词是单数还是复数。如:

A pair of chopsticks is on the atble.

桌子上有一双筷子。

Three new kinds of shoes are on show today.

今天有三种新鞋在展览。

(4)“some(any,no,every)+thing(body,one)”

构成的不定代词作主语,谓语用单数。如: In a small village everybody knows everybody else. 在一个小村子人人都互相认识。

Everything goes well with me.

我的一切进展很好。

(5)不定代词any, either, neither, none, all,some, more作主语时,谓语动词用单数还是复数要视其在文中的意义而定。如:

All invited are present.

所有被邀请的人都到了。

More has been said about the matter.

关于这件事情又多说了几句。

(6)名词性从句或非谓语动词形式作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。如:

To listen to music is my greatest pleasure.

听音乐是我最大的乐趣。

Whether she will come is still a question.

她是否来还是个问题。

(7)“分数或百分数+of+名词”结构,如果of后是复数名词,其谓语动词用复数形式;如果of后的名词为不可数名词,其谓语动词用单数形式。如:

More than 70 percent of the surface of the earth is covered

by water.地球表面70%多被水覆盖。

One fourth of the students in our class are League members.

我们班有四分之一的同学是团员。

(8)在“one of+复数名词+定语从句”结构中,其定语从句修饰of后的复数名词,这时定语从句中的谓语动词用复数。如:

He is one of the students who are from the north.他是从北方来的学生之一。

This is one of the most difficult questions that have been

asked.

这是所提出的最困难的问题之一。 但是,当one前有the,the only等修饰语时,这时从句限定one,从句中的谓语动词应该用单数形式。如:

She was the only one of the girls who was late.

她是唯一一个迟到的女生。

(9)由each,every,no所修饰的不同的单数名词即使用and连接,谓语动词仍用单数形式。如:

Every teacher and every student has been there.每一个老师和学生都去过那儿。

Each boy and each girl wants to have a chance..每一个男孩和女孩都想有一次机会。

2.意义一致原则

(1)一些形式为复数,而意义却是单数的名词,如news,works,

maths,physics,politics,means the United States,The Arabian

Nights等,谓语动词用单数形式。如:

The United States belongs to the first world.

美国属于第一世界。

Politics is much more difficult than physics.

政治比物理难得多。

(2)一些集体名词,如class,family,club,crew,

crowd,government,group,party,public,team等,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:

Our team is the best team in the league.

我们球队是联赛中最好的球队。

My family are interested in football.

我家人都对足球感兴趣。

(3)people,cattle,police表“总称”,以及both,a

few,many,several作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。如:

The police are looking for the lost child.

警察正在搜寻丢失的孩子。 Both should make concessions.

双方都应让步。

(4)当名词词组中心词为表示度量、金钱、时间、距离或数字等复数名词时,一般把这些复数名词看作一个整体,其谓语动词用单数形式。如:

Two thousand dollars is a large sum of money.

2000美元是一大笔钱。

Ten years is only a short period of time in the history of

mankind..在人类历史的长河中10年只是短暂的一瞬。

(5)如果主语由more than one或many a…构成,从意认上看是复数,但谓语动词仍然用单数形式。如:

More than one student has seen the film.

不止一个学生看过那个电影。

Many a book has printing mistakes.

好多书有印刷错误。

(6)如果名词词组中心词为all,most,half,rest,或这四个词单独作主语,代替可数名词复数时,谓语动词用复数形式;代替不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数形式。如:

A few of the trees can be cut each year for firewood,the rest

are left to grow even taller.

每年可以砍掉一些小树当柴火,其余的就留下来,让它们长得更高。

All that can be done has been done.

一切能做的都已经做了。

(7)such,the same用作指示代词作主语时,应根据其所指的内容来决定单复数形式。如:

Such was the situation we were facing.

这就是我们所面对的情况。

Such were the results he was expecting.

这就是他所等待的结果。 (8)关系代词who,that,which在定语从句中作主语时,谓语动词应与句中的先行词相一致。如:

Some of the energy that is used by man comes from the sun.人类应用的有些能源源于太阳。

The students who are often late for school are to be punished.经常迟到的学生要受到惩罚。

(9)由what引导的主语从句,谓语动词通常用单数形式。但如果所指的具体内容为复数意义时,谓语动词用复数形式。如:

What we need is more time.

我们需要的是更多的时间。

What we need are books.我们需要的是书。

(10)“the+形容词或过去分词”作主语时,如果指一类人,谓语动词用复数;如果指一个人或抽象概念,谓语动词用单数。如:

The injured have been cured and the lost have been found.受伤的人得到了救治,失踪的人已经找到了。

The dead was a famous scientist.

去世的人是一位著名的科学家。

(11)“the+姓氏+s”作主语时,如果表示一个整体的家,谓语动词用单数形式;如果表示“一家人’或“夫妇俩”,谓语动词用复数形式。如:

The smiths has moved to New York..

史密斯一家搬到了纽约。

The Turners are talking in the sitting room.

特纳一家正在客厅里谈话。

3.就近就远原则

(1)当两个主语被下列词连接时,谓语动词的单复数采用就远原则,这些词是:as well as ,as much as, less than,along with,

together with,with,like,rather than, but,except, besides, including.如:

The teacher as well as the students is in the classroom.老师和
