高考英语主谓一致知识点总结高考英语主谓一致知识1(一) 语法一致原则即主语为单数,谓语用单数,主语为复数,谓语也用复数. 以下为注意事项:1. 单数主语即使后面带有with , along with, together with, like(象), but (除了),except, besides, as well as, no less than, rather than(而不是), including, in addition to 引导的短语, 谓语动词仍用单数.如: Air as well as water is matter. 空气和水都是物质.No one except two servants was late for the dinner. 除了两个仆人外, 没有一个人迟来用餐。

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:1)下列结构作主语,谓语动词一般用单数形式a.表示时间、重量、长度、价值的名词作主语,谓语动词通常用单数形式。
例如:1。

例如:1.Someone is knocking at the door.2。
主谓一致是英语语法中的一个重要概念,它涉及到句子中的主语和谓语动词在数上的一致性。
在英语中,主语和谓语动词的数必须保持一致,否则就会产生语法错误。
本文将对主谓一致的规则进行详细的总结和解释。
一、主语的分类主语可以分为三类:名词、代词和句子。
根据主语的不同,谓语动词的数也会有所不同。
1.1 名词作主语当名词作主语时,谓语动词的数要根据名词的数来决定。
•单数名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
例如:–The book is on the table.(书在桌子上。
)•复数名词作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。
例如:–Boys and girls are in the classroom.(男孩和女孩们在教室里。
)1.2 代词作主语代词作主语时,谓语动词的数也要根据代词的数来决定。
•单数代词作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
例如:–He is a teacher.(他是一名教师。
)•复数代词作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。
例如:–They are students.(他们是学生。
)1.3 句子作主语当整个句子作主语时,谓语动词的数要根据句子的需要来决定。
•使用“there be”结构的句子作主语时,谓语动词的数要与句中的名词一致。
例如:–There is a book on the table.(桌子上有一本书。
)•使用“it”作主语的句子,谓语动词要用单数形式。
例如:–It is raining.(正在下雨。
)二、谓语动词的数谓语动词的数要与主语的数保持一致。
根据主语的不同,谓语动词的数可以是单数或复数。
2.1 单数谓语动词当主语是单数时,谓语动词也要用单数形式。
例如:•The sun rises in the east.(太阳从东方升起。
)2.2 复数谓语动词当主语是复数时,谓语动词也要用复数形式。
例如:•Students study hard.(学生们学习努力。
)三、主谓一致的例外情况在某些情况下,主谓一致的规则会有例外。
初中英语语法(主谓一致)主谓一致是指一个句子的主语和谓语动词保持数的一致关系。
主谓一致要遵循三条原则:语法一致、意义一致、就近一致。
一、复习要点:1.语法一致的原则:语法一致的原则就是指主语和谓语动词保持语法形式上的一致,即主语为单数形式,谓语动词也采用单数形式;主语为复数形式,谓语动词也采用复数形式。
⑴单数名词或代词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句用作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。
主语为复数名词或代词时,谓语动词用复数形式。
例如:His father works for a computer company. 他的父亲在一家电脑公司工作。
Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes. 在阳光下看书对眼睛有害。
What he said is very important for us all. 他所说的话对我们大家都很重要。
⑵由连词and或both… and连接的并列主语后面,要用复数形式的谓语动词。
例如:New York and Boston are American cities. 纽约和波士顿是美国城市。
Both she and her sister like drawing pictures. 她和她的姐姐都喜欢画画⑶由―a… and a half, more than one +名词‖―one and a half + 名词‖, 等作主语时, 谓语动词要用单数. 如:Only one and a half apples is left on the table.注意: one or two + 复数名词作主语, 谓语动词用复数形式, 如:One or two places have been visited. 参观了一两个地点构成的主语,尽管从意义上看是复数,但谓语动词要用单数形式。
例如:A month and a half has passed since I saw him. 自从我见到他,已经过去一个半月了。
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 father is working on the farm. / To study English well is not easy. / What he said is very important for us all. / The children were in the classroom two hours ago. / Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes.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 were three English 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 when they heard the news. / Both she and he are Y oung Pioneers.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, every more than a (an) , many a (an)修饰时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。
第一讲主谓一致“一致”(Concord 或Agreement)是指句子成分之间词语之间在语法形式上的协调关系。
主要有主语与动词的一致,主语与补语的一致,限定词与名词中心词的一致,人称代词与并列和非并列先行词的一致,名词与名词或代词的一致。
“主谓一致”是指主语和谓语动词之间在人称和数的方面的一致关系,这又叫做“主——动一致”(Subject ——verb Concord)。
1. 主谓一致三原则主语和随后的动词(词组),即谓语动词之间的一致关系常为三种不同的原则所支配,即语法一致原则(Grammar Concord),意义一致原则(Notional Concord)和就近原则(Principle of Proximity)。
1.1 语法一致指作主语的名词中心词是复数,动词就用复数形式;如果名词中心词是单数名词或不可数名词,动词就用单数形式。
例如:Both boys have their own merits.In my heart are peace and goodwill.The elevator works very well.Much effort is wasted.1.2 意义∕概念一直指主语和动词的一致关系并非取决于语法上的单、复数形式,而是取决于主语的单、复数意义。
有时主语在语法形式上并非复数,但有复数意义,随后的动词就用复数;主语在语法形式上是复数,而在意义上可视为单数,随后的动词用单数。
例如:The jury has asked more time.The jury are unable to agree.Fifty minutes isn’t enough time to finish this test.“ Senior citizens” means people over sixty.1.3 就近原则指谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语的单、复数形式,而不是与充当主语的名词短语中心词相一致。
主语和谓语的一致
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。
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 并列结构做主语时谓语用复数
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。
e.g.: 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
当主语后面跟有with/together with/along with跟......一起,like如„„,combined with加
上,accompanied by 由„„陪同,including 包括, except除外,but但是,no less than不
少于, as well as以及,rather than而不是„ 等词引起的短语做定语时,谓语动词与前面的
主语一致。
例如:
1. The teacher together with some students is visiting the factory.
2.He as well as I wants to go boating.
4 谓语需用单数
1) 代词each和由every, some, no, any等构成的复合代词作主语,或主语中含有each, every,
谓语需用单数。
Each of us has a tape-recorder.
There is something wrong with my watch.
用and 连接两个带有each等定语的单数名词做主语时,谓语动词要用单数。
2) 当主语是一本书或一条格言时,谓语动词常用单数。
The Arabian Night is a book known to lovers of English.
<<天方夜谭>>是英语爱好者熟悉的一本好书。
3) 表示金钱,时间,价格或度量衡的复合名词作主语 时,通常把这些名词看作一个整体,
谓语一般用单数。(用复数也可,意思不变。)
Three weeks was allowed for making the necessary preparations.
Ten yuan is enough.
5 指代意义决定谓语的单复数
1) 在代词what, which, who, none, some, any, more, most, all等词的单复数由其指代的词的单
复数决定。
All is right. (一切顺利。)
All are present. (所有人都到齐了。)
2) 集体名词作主语时,谓语的数要根据主语的意思来决定。如family, audience, crew, crowd,
class, company, committee等词后用复数形式时,意为这个集体中的各个成员,用单数时表示
该个集体。
His family isn't very large. 他家不是一个大家庭。
His family are music lovers. 他的家人都是音乐爱好者。
但集合名词people, police, cattle, poultry等在任何情况下都用复数形式。
Are there any police around?
3)有些名词,如variety, number, population, proportion, majority 等有时看作单数,有时看作
复数。
A number of +名词复数+复数动词。
The number of +名词复数+单数动词。
A number of books have lent out.
The majority of the students like English.
