主谓一致典型错误分析

香河七中 李晓娟

1. read and butter B their daily food. (面包加黄油是他们的日常主食。)

A. is B. are C. have D. were

【辨析】错误认为bread and butter 是两种不同物质。用and连接的并列主语,如果表示一种事物或一种概念时,应用单数动词,此时,后面的名词之前往往没有修饰词;如果不表示一种事物或概念,则用复数动词。如:The poet and writer has come.(诗人间作家来了,指同一个人。)再如: Tom and Jim are friends.(汤姆和吉姆是朋友,指两个人。)因此本题应选【A】。

2. My son and daughter each A their own bikes.(我儿子和女儿各自有自己的自行车。)

A. has B. have C. is D. are

【辨析】错解在于受到each的影响,以为强调的是个人。其实,句子中的each只是说明主语的,谓语动词仍应取决语主语my son and daughter,只有当each作句子主语时,谓语动词才用单数。如:We each earn a dollar. 与Each of us earns a dollar.(我们每人都赚了一美元。),两句意思相同,但句中的主语不同,所以谓语动词形式也不同。故此题选【B】。

3. Professor Li, and not I , D to attend the meeting.(是李教授而不是我被选去参加这个会。)

A. is chose B. are chose C. is chosen D. are chosen

【辨析】错解在于认为此句用and连接的是并列主语,故选“D”。实际上,句中的“and

not I”的前后都有逗号,说明它是插入语,真正主语是professor Li,所以应选【C】。

4. Each boy and each girl D on their wonderful work..(每个男孩和女孩都因为成绩异而受到祝贺。)

A. congratulate B. congratulated C. was congratulated D. were congratulated

【辨析】“each/every+单数名词+and +each/every+单数名词”结构应当作两个单独结构看待,谓语用单数。如:Each book and each paper is found in its place.(每一本书,每一份文件,都可在一定的地方找到。)。所以此题选【C】。

5. Many a D and many a D to the exhibition.(许多学生和许多老师到过这展览会。)

A. student , teacher has been B. student, teacher have been

C. students , teachers has been D. students, teachers have been

【辨析】错解在于不知道many a 与many 虽同义,但用法不同。Many后面必须接可数名词复数,谓语动词也相应的用复数形式。而many a +单数名词,后要求接单数谓语动词,这种结构多用于正式文体中。如:Many a fine man has died in that battle.(许多优秀士兵死于那次战役。)类似的结构还有“more than one +名词单数”,谓语动词也用单数形式。如:More than one student in our class has worked out that math

problem.(我们班不止一个学生解出了这道数学题。)。此题选【D】

6. Not only the students but also the class teacher B this kind of game.(不仅是学生,而且我们的班主任老师也喜欢这种游戏。)

A. like play B. like playing C. likes play D. likes playing

【辨析】not only…but also…, either…or…, neither…nor…,or等连词连接主语时,谓语词应遵循就近一致的原则。如:He or I am in the wrong.(他或我错了。) Either you

or your brother is good at skating.(不是你就是你哥哥擅长滑冰。)。所以本题选【D】。

7. A you or your wife going to attend the parents’ meeting tonight?(是你还是你妻子今晚去出席家长会?)

A. Is B. Are C. Was D. Were

【辨析】本题也是属于就近一致的典型错误。因为be动词离主语you最近,所以应选【B】。

8. The engineer with some works D the machine.(工程师和几位工人一起在检修机器。)

A. is examined B. are examined C. is examining D. are examining

【辨析】错误的原因在于with some workers与and some workers含意不同。本题中with

some workers是介词短语,是状语,不是主语。与此题用法相似的还有along/

together with, like, but, except, besides, as well as等介词或介词词组,连接主语时,都作状语成分,谓语动词与主语一致。如:The students as well as the teacher

were present at the meeting.(学生和老师出席了会议。)Nobody except/but two boys

was late for school.(除了两个男孩子,没人上学迟到。)。此题选【C】。

9. The younger brother, rather than his two elder brothers, B for the wrong doings.(是弟弟而不是他的两个哥哥,要对错误行为负责。)

A. was to answer B. were to answer C. was to be answered D. were to be answered

【辨析】错误的以为谓语动词应该就近一致,事实上,rather than 引导的部分在句子中作状语,结构上与谓语动词无关,根据主语the younger brother选择单数谓语。句中rather than引导的部分也可放在句末,意义不变。类似的主语后面跟有从属结构的还有:as much as(和 ……一样), more than(倒不如说), no less than(和…… 一样)等,句中谓语动词的数必须与主语一致。此题选【A】。

10. Large quantities of food C for the winter.(大量的食物已贮存起来以备过冬。)

A. has stored B. have stored C. has been stored D. have been stored

【辨析】错误以为large quantities of food短语中的food不可数,作主语,谓语应用单数。英语中large/small quantities of 不管后面是可数还是不可数名词,谓语动词都用复数形式。如果改用a good large quantity of food,谓语动词用单数。此题选【D】

11. Either of D wrong. (两位学生中,有一位是错的。)

A. the student is B. the student are C. the students is D. the students are

【辨析】either 与neither后面须接单数名词,而 both后须接复数名词;neither, either作主语,谓语动词用单数,both作主语,谓语动词须用复数。“Either of+名词复数”表示两者中的任意一个,是单数,所以应选【C】。

12. Two thirds of little Franz’s time D playing in the woods and fields.(小弗朗兹三分之二时间浪费在树林和田野里玩耍了。)

A. waste B. wasted C. was wasted D. were wasted

【辨析】错误在于将分数看作是复数形式,所以用了复数谓语。实际上分数作主语时,谓语动词的形式取决于其后的名词,如果是可数名词复数,谓语动词用复数;如果是不可数名词或单数可数名词,则用单数谓语动词。如:Two thirds of the

students in our class are girls.(我班三分之二的学生是女生。)。本题中的名词time是不可数的,所以应用单数谓语,故选【C】。

13. A number of science books D from our library in the past few months, so the number

of the books D now being reduced..(最近的几个月里图书馆里的许多科技书被偷了,所以书的数目在减少。) A. has been stolen, is B. have been stolen, is

A. has been stolen, are D. have been stolen, are

【辨析】a number of 表示“许多,若干”,修饰可数名词,作主语时,谓语动词应用复数;the number of表示“……的数量”,也修饰可数名词,但是作主语时,谓语动词用单数。所以本题选【B】。

14. One and a half D in the dish.(盘子里有一只半橘子。)

A. orange is left B. oranges is left C. orange are left D. oranges are left

【辨析】错解在于认为one and a half后接的是名词复数,所以谓语动词也用复数形式。实际上,根据英语习惯,表示“一个半”,有两种表达方法,“a+名词单数+and
