第一篇：集合名词VS主谓一致
Collective Noun 定义
集合名词（英语：Collective noun）是语言学上的一个专有名词，意指一种可用来指称一群对象的字，而这些对象，可以是人、动物、或是一群概念等事物。举例而言，在英语中，“一群狮子”可称为“a pride of lions”，此时“pride”为一个集合名词。
词语信息
“集合名词”是名词的一个特殊子类，表示集合，描述成群成组的事物。析而言之，又可分为“可分集合名词”和“不可分集合名词”。
词语释义
可分集合名词：该类事物可以个体化，可用集合量词计数，同时也可以用除“一”以外的个体量词计数。
示例：干警，愿意指公安部门中干部和警察的合称，可以说“寒冷的子夜，一批干警仍在一线执勤”，也可以说“五位公安干警受到了表彰”，但不能说“我作为一名普通的司法干警，也可以为普通百姓办事”。
不可分集合名词：该事物不可以个体化，即不受个体量词修饰。除了可用集合量词修饰之外，有时还可以受容器量词、度量词或不定量词修饰。
示例：可以说“上海港停靠了很多船舶”，但不能说“上海港停靠了一条（只，艘）船舶”。
“军火”，是武器和弹药的总称，没有专用的个体量词修饰它，但有可用的集合量词，如：一批军火。同时也可以用容器量词、度量词和不定量词度量，如“一车军火”、“三吨军火”。
应注意，有部分词原意是表示集合，但现在词意有所变化。例如“图书”，原指图画和书，现在泛指书籍，如“北大图书馆珍藏了几百万册图书”，也可以说“我今天借了一本图书”。本、册是个体量词，“图书”是能受个体量词修饰的名词，所以是个体名词，而不是集合名词。“书本”不能受个体量词的修饰，是集合名词。
分类
第一类
形式为单数，但意义可以用为单数或复数这类集合名词。包括family(家庭Y: 'Times New Roman'">family(，team(队)，class(班)，audience(听众)等，其用法特点为：若视为整体，表示单数意义；若考虑其个体成员，表示复数意义。比较并体会：His family is large.他的家是个大家庭。His family are all waiting for him.他的一家人都在等他。This class consists of 45 pupils.这个班由45个学生组成。This class are reading English now.这个班的学生在读英语。
这个班的学生在读英语。
第二类
形式为单数，但意义永远为复数这类集合名词。包括cattle(牛，牲畜)cattle(，people(人)，police(警察)等，其用法特点为：只有单数形式, 但却表示复数意义，用作主语时谓语用复数；不与 a(n)连用，但可与the连用(连用)。如：People will laugh at you.人们会笑你的。The police are looking for him.警察在找他。Many cattle were
killed for this.就因为这个原因宰了不少牲畜。注：表示牲畜的头数，用单位词 head(单复数同形)。如：five head of cattle 5头牛，fifty(head of)cattle 50头牛
第三类
形式为复数，意义也为复数这类集合名词。包括goods(货物), clothes(衣服)等，其用法特点是：只有复数形式(当然也表示复数意义，用作主语时谓语也用复数)，但通常不与数词连用。如：Clothes dry slowly in the rainy season.衣服在雨季不易干。Such clothes are very expensive.那样的衣服很贵。If goods are not well made you should complain to the manufacturer.如果货物质量不好，则理应向制造商提出控诉。
第四类
形式为单数，意义也为单数这类集合名词。包括baggage / luggage(行李), clothing(衣服), furniture(家具), machinery(机器), poetry(诗), scenery(风景), scenery(), jewelry(珠宝), equipment(设备)等, 其用法特点为：是不可数名词，只用单数形式，不用不定冠词(当然更不能用数词)，没有复数形式。如：Our clothing protects us from [against] the cold.我们的衣服可以御寒。<>Have you checked all your baggage? 你所有的行李都托运了吗?The thief stole all her jewelry.小偷把她所有的首饰都偷走了。The hospital has no decent equipment.这家医院没有像样的设备。The Tang Dynasty is thought of as the high summer of Chinese poetry.人们认为唐朝是中国诗歌的全盛时期。注：machinery, poetry, jewelry, scenery等相应的个体可数名词是 machine, poem, jewel, scene等。如：a poem / a piece of poetry 一首诗many machines / much machinery / many pieces of machinery 许多机器
第五类
补充几个常考的集合名词除上面提到的四类集合名词外，以下几个集合名词也应重点注意：
1.hair(头发，毛发)
指全部头发或毛发时，为集合名词(不可数)；指几根头发或毛发时，为个体名词(可数)。如：My hair has grown very long.我的头发已长得很长了。The police found two hairs there.警察在那儿找到了两根头发。
2.mankind(人类)
人是一个不可数的集合名词，不用复数形式，也不连用冠词。如：This is an invention that benefits mankind.这是一项造福人类的发明。Mankind has its own problems.人类有自己的问题。注：mankind 表示“mankind 人(类)”时，虽不可数，但有时却可以表示复数意义，尤其是当其表语是复数时。如：Mankind are intelligent animals.人是理智的动物。
3.fruit(水果)
作为集合名词，它通常是不可数的。如：He doesn’t eat much fruit.他不大吃水果。He is growing fruit in the country.他在乡下种水果。但是，当要表示种类时，它可视为可数名词，即a fruit 指一种水果，fruits 指多种水果。比较：fruits Some fruits have thick skins.有些水果皮很厚。The potato is a vegetable, not a fruit.土豆是一种蔬菜，而不是一种水果。

第二篇：主谓一致专题)
主谓一致
主谓一致指的是主语和位于动词在“数”的方面一定要保持一致，而这种一致关系通常是由下列三种原则支配的
一、语法一致：主语是单数形式或不可数名词，谓语动词也用单数形式；主语用复数形式，位于也用复数形式。
The library does not open until nine o’clock.The Great Wall draws numbers of tourists every year.The best reward I get from teaching is the joy of seeing my students grow and develop.Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.二、意义一致原则：主语虽在语法形式上是复数形式，但意义上是单数，谓语动词也要用单数；主语虽在语法形式上不是复数形式，但意义上时复数，谓语动词也要用复数。Cattle are grazing peacefully on the pasture.The police have arrested a lot of suspects.Two miles is a long walk for the 80-year-old man.One thousand dollars is a large sum of money for the couple.Five pounds is enough.Twenty years is a long time on one’s life.三、就近原则：有时谓语动词的形式是和它最近的词（或词组）保持一致的。Neither you nor I am right.Not only the boy but also his parents enjoy playing that game.Twenty percent of students are from Wuhan.Only half of the members agree with him.易出现问题的地方：
一、集体名词与以“s”结尾的名词作主语时主谓一致 1.people, cattle, police, poultry, militia, youth等形式上是单数，但意义上时复数，所以谓语用复数。
The police are questioning him.People often hear him telling about his experience in the Second World War.The militia are determined to fight the enemy to the finish.2.audience, committee, family, government, group, staff, team, public, class, crew, arm等若表示整体概念，谓语动词用单数，若强调成员或个体，谓语动词用复数。His family are proud of him.His family is not very large.The audience burst into thunderous applause.A large audience was watching their performance.某些表示疾病的词，如mumps, arthritis, bronchitis, rickets, diabetes等，以及某些表示游戏的词，如cards, ninepins, darts, bowls, marbles, billiards, chequers等，它们在形式上虽然是复数，但在意义上是单数，因此谓语动词要用单数。Sometimes mumps is rather dangerous.Arthritis is not a kind of infectious disease.Marbles is greatly enjoyed by the children here.Diabetes is a kind of chronic disease.4.某些以-ics 结尾的表示学科的词，如physics, mathematics, economics, politics, linguistics, optics, electronics, acoustics等，形式上是复数形式，但意义上是单数，因此谓语动词要用单数。
Some students say physics is much more interesting than mathematics.I don’t think linguistics is difficult to learn.但当这些词不表示“学科”时，有时可当复数用，谓语动词也要用复数。
Statistics show that the divorce rate in China is much higher than ten years ago.Politics have never interested her.5.以“s”结尾的国家、组织、机构等虽然形式上是复数，但却表示单数意义，所以谓语动词要用单数形式。
Some people say the United States is a large “melting pot”.The United Nations was founded on October 24, 1945.但表示群岛、瀑布、山脉等以“s”结尾的专有名词常被看成是复数，谓语动词也要用复数。The Niagara Falls attracts tourists from many countries every year.The Rocky Mountains are vast and spectacular.6.某些表示由两部分组成的物体的名词在形式和意义上都是复数如：scissors, pants, trousers, shorts, glasses, spectacles, jeans等，谓语动词也用复数。His glasses were broken this morning.Your trousers are in the wardrobe.另外还有一些常以“s”结尾的词，如：contents, archives, arms, goods, suburbs, stairs, earnings, surroundings, belongings, particulars等也通常被看成是复数，作主语时谓语也用复数形式。
The suburbs are more and more seriously polluted.The surroundings are very beautiful.All his belongings are in that big bag.二、表示数量概念的名词（或词组）作主语时主谓一致
1.表示时间、距离、价值、重量等的名词或词组作主语时，常把这些数量看成一个整体，谓语动词用单数形式。

1.由and或both„and„连接的并列结构作主语，如果意义为单数，谓语动词就用单数；如果意义为复数，谓语动词就要用复数。
Asia, Africa and Latin America make up the third world.Both families and society are responsible for juvenile delinquency.下面由and连接的并列结构表面上是复数，实际上表示复数意义，所以谓语动词要用复数。Chinese and America culture are quite different.What they have said and done are quite disappointing.当each„and each„, every„and every„, no„and no„作主语时，谓语动词要用单数形式

be 动词的形式由它后面的主语决定，但当be 动词后是并列结构作主语时，遵循就近原则，be动词的形式要与它最近的主语保持一致。There are servants in the house.There is no water on the moon.There are a lot of spectators in the stadium.七、定语从句中的主谓一致
定语从句中谓语动词的单、复数形式是由先行词所决定的。That’s the young man who comes to the library every week.Yesterday they visited the palaces which were built 200 years ago.在one of+名词复数+定语从句的句型中，定语从句的谓语动词通常用复数形式，但当one 前有the或the only 时，谓语动词用单数：

既可修饰可数又可修饰不可数的有：some, any, half, most, all, a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large quantity of, quantities of 等。2.名词的单复数
（1）.绝大多数的可数名词的复数形式，是在该词末尾加上后辍-s。friend→friends;cat→cats;style→styles;sport→sports;piece→pieces(2).凡是以s、z、x、ch、sh结尾的词，在该词末尾加上后辍-es构成复数。
bus→buses;;fox→foxes;match→matches;flash→flashes box →boxes;watch →watches;actress →actresses;class →classes;dress →dresses;sandwich →sandwiches;toothbrush →toothbrushes;waitress（女侍者）→waitresses
(3).以辅音字母+y结尾的名词，将y改变为i，再加-es。candy→candies;lady→ladies;story→stories strawberry →strawberries;baby →babies;library →libraries;dictionary →dictionaries;activity →activities

这类集合名词包括family(家庭)，team(队)，class(班)，audience(听众)等，其用法特点为：若视为整体，表示单数意义；若考虑其个体成员，表示复数意义。
His family is large.他的家是个大家庭。
His family are all waiting for him.他的一家人都在等他。This class consists of 45 pupils.这个班由45个学生组成。This class are reading English now.这个班的学生在读英语。

表示人或物所属关系时,我们就需要使用名词所有格。如：“奶奶的房子”表示为“grandma's house”。名词所有格的构成有以下规则：(1).一般情况下，在名词的末尾加“'s”构成。如：Mike's bike迈克的自行车,Tom's books汤姆的书.(2).以s结尾的复数名词的所有格，只在其末尾加’如：my parents' car我父母的车,our teachers' books我们老师的书。
(3).表示几个人共同拥有的东西时，只在最后一个名字上加所有格。如：Jenny and Joan's bedroom詹妮和琼共同拥有的卧室;但如果是分别拥有的东西就要在每个名字上加所有格.如:Tim's and Jack's toy cars提姆和杰的玩具车。
(4).名词所有格后面有指地点等的名词时，有的习惯上可以省去不用。如：The doctor's(office)医生诊所;my uncle's(house)我叔叔的家;The barber's(shop)理发店。

The window of the classroom教室的窗户 the capital of China中国的首都 The weather of ShangHai上海的天气.(6).双重所有格
即’s属格和of属格结合起来表示所有关系 A book of my friend’s.4.名词作定语
作定语的名词往往是说明中心名词的材料、用途、时间、地点、内容、类别等。
作定语的名词有以下三种形式：
（1）.一般用单数形
a meeting room 会议室 morning exercise早操 a story book 故事书a shoe shop 鞋店
（2）.man, woman要与所修饰的名词的单复数一致。a woman teacher 一位女教师
two women teachers 两位女教师
（3）.sports, sales, clothes, goods, arts, customs等只用复数形式。a sports meet 运动会 a goods train 货车
customs house 海关 a sales manager 营业主任 *名词作定语和所有格作定语的区别;所有格表示所属关系 The girl friend 女朋友
The girl’s friend那位女孩的朋友 5.主谓一致（1）就近原则 a.由并列结构或连词（either…or，neither…nor，not…but，not only…but also，or等）连接的并列主语，谓语动词与靠近的那个名词或代词保持一致。
Neither his parents nor Tom is at home.Tom和他的父母都不在家。
b.在倒装句和there be句型中，谓语动词与后面的第一个主语保持一致。
There is a book and some pens on the desk.桌子上有一本书和几支钢笔。

I know the man who is talking to my father.我认识那个正在和我父亲谈话的人。
d.在强调句(It’s ….that/who….)中，who/that又在句中作主语，这时它应与被强调的主语保持一致。
It is Mary's brother who was injured in the car accident.是Mary的哥哥在车祸中受伤了。
(2).意义一致原则
a.”every/each/no+名词+and every/each/no+名词”作主语时，谓语用单数。Every boy and every girl is having sports now.b.”one+单数名词+and a half”作主语时，谓语动词用单数。One apple and a half was on table.c.”more than one +单数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数。More than one student has failed the exam.d.”many a+单数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数。Many a child was playing there.（3）。语法一致原则
只要确定主语时单数意义，则谓语用单数，主语是复数意义，则谓语用复数。
a.不可数名词作主语，一律视为单数
b.“one, either, neither, each of+复数名词或代词”作主语时，谓语通常用单数形式。
Either of the stories is very funny.c.表示时间、金钱、距离、重量、数量的复数名词作主语，通常看做一个整体，谓语动词用单数形式。Ten pounds was missing from the box.d.a series of, a kind of, a piece of, a pair of等量词修饰名词，通常以量词的单复数形式来确定谓语的单复数。This pair of glasses is very expensive.Two series of new stamps have been ordered, e.”a number of+复数名词意思是“许多…”,表示复数意义；“the number of+复数名词意思是“…的数目”，表示单数概念。“the population of…”意思是“...的人口数量，”作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式，但是如果有分数、百分数等修饰，指具体的其中多少人，表达复数意义，谓语动词常用复数形式。“the average of…”意思是“...的平均数量”，作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。
The number of the student in our school is quite large and a number of teachers work hard.The population of China ia large and most of the population are famers.f.主语后有with, together with, along with, except, besides, as well as等修饰时，谓语动词的数要和这些词汇前面的名词的数保持一致 Mr.Greentogether with his children goes to the park every Sunday.g.“the+adj.”表示一类人时，谓语动词用复数，如果个别人或表示抽象的概念，谓语动词用单数。

答案与解析：
1.have;is。表示时间、金钱、距离、重量的复数名词表示单位数量用作主语时，通常看作整体，谓语动词用单数形式（第二空）;若强调数目，谓语动词用复数形式（第一空）。
2.Is。不定代词anyone, anybody, anything, everyone, everybody, everything, someone, somebody, something, nobody, nothing等作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。
3.is;are。集体名词family, class等作主语时，如果强调整体（第一空），谓语动词用单数形式；如果强调个体（第二空），则用复数形式。4.are。
5.is。某些名词以-s结尾，表面看是复数形式，实际上是单数概念，如physics, news等，它们作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。6.is。当主语是不定式短语，-ing形式短语或主语从句时，谓语动词一般用单数形式。
7.is。一个单数名词同时被两个不同的形容词修饰，如果表示的是同一概念，谓语动词一般用单数。该句意为“最后一课十四课是最难的一课。” 8.am。
9.has。两个名词或代词由and连接作主语时，当and不表示并列意 义，而连接两个在意义上表示同一人、物或概念或由两个部件配成的物品时，谓语动词用单数。
10.was。主语后面接说明主语的修饰语，如用with，along with，as well as, like, rather than, but, except, besides, including等与修饰语连接，谓语动词不受修饰成分的影响，仍保持同主语一致的关系。11.has。两个并列的名词由each，every，no等修饰时，谓语动词一般用单数。
12.Is;am。当用作主语的两个名词或代词由or，either...or, neither...nor或 not only...but also等连接时，谓语通常与邻近的名词或代词保持一致。
13.are。一个单数名词同时被两个不同的形容词修饰，表示两个不同的概念时，谓语动词一般用复数。
14.has。“many a + 单数名词”作主语时，表达的是复数意义，但谓语动词要用单数。
15.are。“the+形容词 / 过去分词”表示一类人时，谓语动词用复数。16.have, has

18.Some pictures of the river brought the days back to the old ________ they swam in it.A.when B.that C.who D.where 19.The man showed us so heavy a stone ________ no man can lift.A.that B.as C.which D.and 20.He stayed there for quite a long time, during ________ time he learned much spoken English.A.that B.this C.which D.same 答案与解析：
1.A.主语与run(延伸)是主动关系，所以用现在分词。Those指街道，所以不用who而用that来引导定语从句。2.B.因为在此题中where引导定语从句，表示“在这种种况下”，与in which相当。3.A.因为先行词是Beijing而不是this autumn所以用where引导定语从句。
4.B.答案B是省略了关系代词that的定语从句，另外，to后还省略了动词原形paint。5.C.因为of which引导定语从句，并在从句中作定语。of which the telephone number = whose telephone number。6.D.因为这是个非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面一句话的内容。
7.B.因为表示“阶段、程度、地步”的the point在定语从句中作地点状语，所以用where引导定
语从句。8.B.因为先行词是research centers并在定语从句中作状语，所以用where。
9.C.因为当先行词是表示事物的all, little, few, much, anything, everything, nothing等时，多用that引导定语从句。
10.因为先行词是the time，且在定语从句中作状语，所以用when引导。此题的先行词与定语从句被主句谓语分开了，要善于辨别。11.B.先行词是Taiwan is a part of China整个主句，一般由as或which引导定语从句，但which引导的定语从句只能放在主句之后，另外，as有“正如”之意，而which没有，所以用as。顺便说说，原句改为：It is known to everybody that Taiwan is„= What is known to everybody is that Taiwan is„
12.A.两空都是考查定语从句，先行词分别是the day和Shen Zhou V was launched, the day在定语从句中作状语，用when引导；后句是非限制性定语从句，不能用that，要用which。13.A.因为替代不可数名词(the bread)只能用that，排除B和D；又因为先行词that(the bread)在定语从句中作buy的宾语，用which，所以选A。14.D.当定语从句的先行词前有such, so, as等词语时，由as引导，并且as在定语从句中作主语或宾语，as在此题中作dream of的宾语。注意：在表示“如此„以致„”的such /so„that„结构中，that不作任何句子成份。15.B.考查非限制性定语从句，all of whose homes = all of their homes他们所有的房子。16.D.因为先行词是前面整个句子，且在从句中作主语，所以用which。of course是插入语。17.D.将疑问句改为陈述句：this research center is„显然缺少先行词，必须加上代词the one来作先行词，又因定语从句不缺主语或宾语，所以用关系副词where。假若在this后加the，就选where，请想想这是为什么。18.A.因为先行词是the days，并在定语从句中作状语。19.B.当先行词前有so时，用as引导定语从句，as在从句中作主语或宾语。假若在lift后加上it，答案就是that了，请想想这是为什么。
20.C.因前后均的句子，必须要选连词，排除B和D；又因在介词后不能用that来引导定语从 主谓一致练习

第五篇：主谓一致讲稿
英语主谓一致的三个原则
1.形式一致的原则
即单复数形式与谓语要一致。一般说来，当作主语的名词或代词是第三人称单数时，谓语动词就用单数形式；当作主语的名词或代词是复数时，谓语动词就复数形式：如：
(1)He likes skating in winter.他喜欢冬天滑冰。(2)They don’t live here.他们不住这里。2.意义一致的原则
即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致。英语中，有些名词或代词形式上是单数，而意义上可能是复数，这时，谓语动词的形式就须依据名词或代词的意义决定。如：
(1)People there were very glad to see our team win the match.在那里的人们看到我们队赢了比赛时都非常高兴。
(2)His family were watching TV when I got to his home.我到他家时，他家的人在看电视。(3)Our class are working hard to make ours a good class.我们班的同学都在努力工作以便是我们班成为优秀班。
3.邻近一致的原则
英语中，有时几个名词或代词有某些此连接起来一起作句子的主语，此时，谓语动词的形式就须有与之最接近的名词或代词的人称和数决定。如：
(1)There is a desk and five chairs in his room.他房间里有一张办公桌和五把椅子。(2)There are five chairs and a desk in his room.他房间里有五把椅子和一张办公桌。(3)Either you or Li Lei is going to be sent there.要么是你要么是李蕾将被派到那里去。(4)Are either you or Li Lei going to be sent there.是你将被派到那里去还是李蕾将被派到那里去？
英语主谓一致详解
1.代词做主语
A．主语是he, she, it, either, neither, each, one, the other, another, anything, anyone, something, someone, somebody, everybody, everyone, everything, nobody, no one, nothing等代词时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。如：
(1)Everyone is here.大家都来了。
(2)There is something wrong with my bike.没有的单车有点毛病。
B．主语是I(除be 动词用am外), you, we, they代词时，谓语动词用第三人称复数形式。如：(1)I like to stay here with you.我喜欢跟你在这儿。(2)They are all soldiers.他们都是战士。
C．主语是：who, what, which, all, more, most, some, any, none, the rest, the remainder时，谓语动词的形式须依具体情况而定。如：
(1)Who’s the girl over there? 那边的那个女孩是谁？
(2)Who are the boys playing games there? 在那里做游戏的男孩子是哪些人？(3)What’s this? 这是什么？(4)What are those? 哪些是什么？(5)Which is yours? 哪一个是你的？(6)Which are children’s? 哪一些是孩子们的？(7)What’s under the tree? 树下有什么？(8)All is right.一切顺利。
(9)All are present.所有人都到齐了。
2.名词做主语
A.一般说来，不可数名词及可数名词的单数做主语时，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。如：(1)Water is necessary for living things.水对于生物来说是必须的。(2)The dog is a useful animal.狗是一种有用的动物。
B.表示总称意义只能单数形式作复数用的集合名词people 人们, cattle 牛, police，youth年轻人，做主语时，谓语动词用第三人称复数形式。如：
(1)English people are fond of talking about weather.英国人喜欢谈论天气。(2)Cattle are farmers’ friends.牛是农民的朋友。
只能作不可数名词的集体名词如mankind 人类, furniture 家具, clothing 衣服, machinery总称的机械，equipment（设备）等做主语时，谓语动词要用单数形式。
(1)The advanced equipment has been offered to the factory.(2)All the furniture in my home is made in Hong Kong.C.主语是集合名词：army（军队）, audience（观众、听众）, board（委员会）, class, committee（委员会）, crew（全体队员、船员、机组人员等）, family, firm（公司）, government（政府）, group（组、群）, public（公众）, team, staff（全体工作人员）, union（联盟）等时，如果是作为整体的，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式；如果作为其中一个个的成员，谓语动词用第三人称复数形式。如：
(1)Our class is made up of fifty students.我们班有五十个学生组成。(2)Our class are working very hard.我们班的同学学习都很努力。(3)His team is very strong.他们队很强大。
(4)His team are talking with the coach.他们队在跟教练谈话。(5)His family isn't very large.他家不是一个大家庭。
(6)His family are music lovers.他的家人都是音乐爱好者。
D.主语是以 s 结尾的名词表示的是学科或国家时： politics, physics, mathematics（数学）politics（政治学），economics（经济学），谓语动词也只能用第三人称单数形式。如：
(1)Physics is very interesting and useful.物理既很有趣也很有用。
(2)The United Nations is made up of more than one hundred countries.联合国由100多个国家组成。
E.主语是两个对称部分组成的事物时：clothes, compasses(圆规), glasses, trousers, scissors, shoes, socks, gloves，它们单独作主语时谓语动词要用复数，但如果前面有 a / this pair / sort / kind of 等修饰时，则谓语动词要用单数形式。
(1)The trousers are not expensive.这条裤子不贵。(2)Your socks are over there.你的袜子在那边。
F.主语是：goods, arms（武器），clothes（衣服），thanks（感谢）等通常以复数形式出现在句子里的名词时，谓语动词用第三人称复数形式。如：
(1)All the goods were shipped from America.(2)All the arms you want have been prepared.G.主语是：works（工厂）, series(系列), means, data(资料数据), sheep, fish, Japanese, Chinese等其单复数形式相同的名词时，谓语动词的形式须依照它们在句中的意义来确定。如：
(1)That Japanese has been to China for twenty times.（这位日本人已来过中国20次了。）(2)Those Japanese are visitors to our university.（那些日本人是到我们大学来参观的客人。）注意：Chinese, Japanese这样的词不仅可做名词，还可和定冠词一起连用，表示“……一类人”，是种集合名词的表达形式。因此，用于后者时，其动词的单复数不能取决于内容，而是一定要用复数。
(3)The Japanese are united.日本人很团结。
H.主语是：时间、距离、金钱、价格、度量衡单位等名词或短语，通常把这些名词看作一个整体，谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。如果强调个体则谓语动词用复数形式。常见的这种词有：years, dollars, dozens, miles, length, width等。如：
(1)Three years passes quickly.三年很快过去了。
(2)Twenty dollars is not enough to buy this book.20元不够买这本书。(3)There are twenty dollars on the desk.桌上有20元。
I.主语若是书名，剧名、报刊、杂志名称或单位名称时，即使名词是复数形式，谓语动词也只能用第三人称单数形式。如：
(1)The Arabian Nights is very interesting.《一千零一夜》很有趣。
(2)The New York Times is popular in America.《纽约时报》在美国很受欢迎。J.在算式里，主语是数词时，加法和乘法的谓语动词单复数皆可；而减法和除法的谓语动词一律用单数。如：
(1)Three and five is/are eight.三加五等于八。(2)Twelve divided by six is two.十二除以六等于二。
K.主语里面有：a lot of, lots of, plenty, half of, part of, most of, a portion of, 分数 / 百分数of +名词时，谓语动词的形式须依照名词的数而确定（一个形容词性词组修饰主语的中心部分）。如：
(1)A lot of people have taken part in the activity.很多人参加了这次活动。(2)Lots of water is lost.大量的水被流失了。
(3)Two thirds of the students in this school have been admitted to universities.(4)Two thirds of the water has been polluted in this river.主语是：kind of, type of, pair of, amount of, quantity of + 名词时，谓语动词的形式须依照kind, type, amount, pair, quantity的数而确定。（名词性词组，一般主语就是它，A of B）如：
(1)This pair of trousers was made by Master Li.这条裤子是李师傅做的。
