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
