第一篇:高中主谓一致讲义
一、含义
一)句子中谓语动词的数必须与主语的数保持一致。
二)三原则:语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近原则。
二、语法一致原则
主语的单复数决定谓语动词的单复数。
一)主语是单数,谓语动词用单数;主语是复数,谓语动词用复数。
The results of the research are to be published soon.His suggestion has been accepted.二)复合不定代词someone,anyone,everyone,nobody,something,anything,everything,nothing等作主语,谓语动词用单数。
If anyone sees Lisa, ask her to call me.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.三)each of+名词复数作主语,谓语动词用单数形式;但名词复数+each作主语,谓语动词用复数形式。
Each of the students has an apple.The students each have an apple.四)代词all作主语,若指人,谓语动词用复数;若指事物或现象,谓语动词用单数。
All are equal before the law.All is well that ends well.五)不定式(短语), 动名词(短语), 或从句作主语时, 谓语动词用单数。如:
Serving the people is my great happiness.When we’ll go out for an outing has been decided.三、意义一致原则
一)形式为单数但意义为复数概念的词,如police,cattle等作主语,谓语动词用复数。
The police have not made any arrests.二)“the+adj/分词”或者“the+姓氏复数”作主语,谓语动词用复数。
The rich are to help the poor.The Greens are going to London.三)English, Chinese, Japanese等与the连用时表示复数意义,作主语时,谓语动词用复数。
The Chinese are kind and friendly.四)以-s结尾名词,如news, maths, plastic及以-ics结尾的学科名称名词,如physics, politics等做主语,谓语动词必须用单数。
Physics is my favorite subject.Bad news has wings.五)单复数同形的名词sheep, deer, means, works等作主语,谓语动词的数与实际意义一致。
Three sheep are eating grass there
A sheep is lying there.六)family, class, group, team,audience, committee, government, team等有生命意义的集体名词做主语时,如强调整体,谓语动词用单数;如被看作组成该集体的一个个成员,谓语动词用复数。
The class consists of 25 boys and 20 girls.The class are doing experiments.四、就近原则
or, either… or…, neither… nor…, not only… but also…, not…but…在句子中连接并列主语的时候或者在there be句型中,谓语动词要和离它最近的主语保持一致。
eg: Neither the students nor the teacher knows anything about it.There is a pen, a knife and several books on the desk.
第二篇:主谓一致讲义
集体名词作主语
1.集体名词如:army,class,audience,enemy,family,crew,government,group,team,couple,party,union,public,nation,crowd,population,company,majority,committee等作主语时,如果强调的是整体,即把它看作一个整体,谓语动词常用单数;如果强调组成的个体,即把它看成其中的成分(个体),谓语动词常用复数形式。2.有些集体名词如:people,police,cattle,folk,youth(青年),poultry(家禽),vermin(害虫),militia(民兵)等作主语,谓语动词一般用复数形式。
3.有些无生命的集体名词如 equipment,furniture,machinery(机器),foliage(树叶),merchandise(货物)等在句中充当主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。Much of her jewellery was stolen.Some of the furniture has been moved to another room.并列结构作主语
1.and 连接的两个名词作主语,表示不同的人或事物,其概念是复数,句子谓语动词用复数形式。The headmaster and the maths teacher are going to attend the meeting.What he said and what he did have greatly encouraged his brother.2.and 连接两个名词,指同一个人、同一件事或同一概念时,谓语动词用单数形式。My teacher and friend is a young girl.Bread and butter is served for breakfast.A knife and fork is on the table.3.and 后加 no 或 not 构成复合主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。Tom,(and)not Jim, is going to visit New York City.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.4.当主语为 many a +名词+ and + many a +名词;no +名词+ and + no +名词时,谓语依然用单数形式。No teacher and no student has seen the film.5.and 连接的并列主语为单数概念,前面有 every,each 等词修饰时,谓语动词用单数形式。Every man-worker and every woman-worker enjoys free medicine care.Each actor and actress was invited.6.each 放在主语后面,修饰复数概念的主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。The boy and the girl each have their own toys.They each have a book to read in the reading room.7.both„ and„ 连接并列主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。
Both he and his parents are going to visit the Great Wall next month.8.当 either„ or„,neither„ nor„,not only„ but also,not„ but„,or 等连接两个并列主语时,谓语动词应遵循“临近一致”的原则,即根据最接近谓语的主语来变,当邻近的主语为单数时,谓语用单数;当邻近的主语为复数时,谓语用复数。
9.当主语后面跟有 with,together with,along with,as well as,like,but,except,besides,including,as much as,more than,no less than,rather than,in addition to 等短语时,谓语动词应和(不亚于)第一个名词的人称和数保持一致。
时间长度等复数名词作主语
通常作整体看待,谓语动词用单数。Ten minutes is enough to get there.但是,如果把这一复数名词看作一个个的个体时,句子的谓语动词常用复数形式。There are ten dollars on the table.以-s 结尾的名词作主语
1.有些以 –s 结尾的名词单复数同形,如 means,works,series,species 等,当它们作主语时,谓语动词要根据这个名词在句中的单、复数意义而变,当它们前面有 a,such a,this,that 等修饰时,谓语常用单数;当它们前面有 all,such,these,those 等修饰时,谓语常用复数。2.有些以 –s 结尾的名词常作复数看待,当它们作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。
(1)一些由两个部分构成的表示衣物或工具的名词作主语时,谓语常用复数形式,这类名词有:glasses,shoes,shorts,stocks,gloves,trousers,chopsticks,scissors,compasses 等。
但当这些名词前面有 a pair of,a kind of,a series of 等修饰时,谓语用单数形式。
(2)以 –s 结尾的名词如 clothes,goods,stairs,contents 等,通常作复数看待,谓语用复数形式。
(3)由-ings 结尾的名词如surroundings,sweepings,earnings,lodgings,clippings 等作主语,谓语动词常用复数。(4)以 –s 结尾的群岛、海峡、山脉等名称的词作主语,谓语常用复数。
3.有些以 –s 结尾的名词如 news(新闻),billiards(台球)及其他以 –s 结尾的游戏名称;arthritis(关节炎),measles(麻疹)及其他以-s 结尾的疾病名称;politics(政治),physics(物理),mathematics(数学)及其他以-ics 结尾的学科名称,还有一些以 –s 结尾指单一事物的专有名词,如 the United States,the United Nations 等,这些名词尽管形式是复数,但却都是不可数名词或作为一个整体来看待,谓语要用单数形式。
单复数同型的名词作主语
一些单复数同形的名词如:sheep,fish,deer,aircraft,Chinese,Japanese 等作主语时,要根据其所在句子的实际意思来确定谓语动词的单复数形式。
more than one +名词
作主语时,谓语常用单数形式。one and a half +复数名词
但是,more +复数名词+ than one 作主语时,谓语常用复数形式;而 more than one不接名词作主语时,谓语用单数也可用复数。
另外,a +名词+ or two 作主语时,谓语可用单数也可用复数;而 one or two +复数名词作主语,谓语常用复数形式。
代词作主语的主谓一致问题
.sb.等不定代词作主语
当主语是不定代词 somebody,anybody,nobody,everybody,everything,nothing,something 等时,谓语动词常用第三人称单数形式。
none、neither 修饰复数名词作主语
代词 neither(两者都不),none(全都不)修饰复数名词或代词作主语时,谓语动词可用单数,也可用复数,取决于说话人的意思,当说话人着眼于“每一个都不„„”或“两个中的任何一个都不„„”时,谓语动词用单数;当说话者着眼于“所有的都不„„”或“两个中的全部都不„„”时,谓语动词用复数。
但是,如果 none 指的是不可数名词,或 none of +不可数名词作主语时,谓语动词常用单数形式。None of the money is wasted.None of us like(likes)the film.all 作主语
all 指人时,谓语常用复数形式;当它指物时,如果修饰复数名词,则谓语用复数;若其单独指物或修饰的是不可数名词,谓语则要用单数形式。
All(of the)water is polluted.All(of the)students have arrived.定语从句中关系代词作主语
定语从句中,关系代词 who,which,that 等作主语时,其人称和数的变化随先行词而定。先行词是单数名词或不可数名词,关系代词 who,which 和 that 一般视为单数概念,从句谓语动词用单数形式。若先行词是复数名词,who,which 和 that 则视为复数概念,从句谓语动词用复数形式。
注意:在 one of +复数名词+定语从句这种结构中,定语从句所修饰的先行词应为该复数名词,所以其谓语应用复数形式;若 one 前面有 the only 或 the 等限定词和修饰语时,这时定语从句所修饰的先行词应为 the(only)one,其谓语应用单数形式。
Tom is one of the students who have helped me.Tom is the only one of the students who has helped me.名词性物主代词作主语
名词性物主代词作主语时,如果它指代的是复数意义时,谓语用复数;若它指代的是单数意义,谓语则相应地用单数形式。
疑问代词 which、who 作主语
疑问代词 which,who,what 作主语时,谓语动词要根据它所表达的意思决定单复数形式。如: Who is the boy over there?
Who are the boys over there?
指示代词 such、the same 作主语
指示代词 such,the same 作主语时,谓语要根据它所指的具体内容来决定单、复数形式。如: Such is my plan.Such are his words.其他结构作主语的主谓一致问题 1.There be 句型
在 There be„ 句型中,如果主语不只一个,谓语动词根据临近一致的原则,常和邻近的即第一个主语在单复数上保持一致,以 Here 开头的句子也是如此。如:Here is a book and a pencil for you.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:Between the two windows hangs a picture..2.四则运算
在四则运算中,谓语动词用单复数均可。如:Two and ten is/are twelve.24 divided by 4 is/are 6.the + adj./ 过去分词作主语
the +形容词/过去分词作主语时,如果它表示某一类人时,如 the dead,the blind/rich/poor,the wounded 等,其谓语常用复数形式;如果它指一个人或抽象概念时,如 the good/new/difficult/known 等,谓语动词常用单数形式。如:The old are respected in our country.The new is sure to replace the old.A/The number of + n.(pl)作主语
A number of +复数名词作主语时,表示“许多„„”、“大量„„”,谓语常用复数形式。The number of +复数名词作主语时,表示“„„的数量”,谓语常用单数形式。
the rest/the rest of +名词作主语,若它所代表/修饰的名词为复数,则谓语动词用复数;若它所代表或修饰的名词为不可数名词或可数名词的单数形式,则谓语动词用单数。
分数、百分数 most,half,plenty of,lots of 等词用法也是如此。

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。
Seven months is needed to translate this book into Chinese.Five hundred miles is a long distance.Where is the ten dollars I gave you yesterday? 2.“分数或百分数+of„”构成的短语作主语,如果of后面是单数,谓语动词用单数;如果of后面是复数,谓语动词要用复数。Two-thirds of the gasoline has been used.Over forty percent of the employees are women.Ninety percent of the wasteland has been turned into rice fields.Three-fifths of the trees have been cut down.3.“all(half, most, some, the rest, none等)+of„”构成的短语作主语,如果of后面是复数,谓语动词用复数;如果of后面是单数,谓语动词也用单数。All of his energy has been used up.All of the restaurants are closed.Most of the oil is imported from Saudi Arabian.Most of the rubbish has been removed from the playground.4.“lots(plenty, heaps, loads, scads等)+of„”构成的短语作主语时,如果of 后gender是复数,谓语动词也用复数;如果of后跟的是不可数名词单数,谓语动词用单数 Plenty of time has been spent on this experiment.Loads of friends have come to attend his wedding.Scads of money has been wasted in the past 2 years.5.当“many a+名词”或“more than one+名词”作主语时,谓语动词用单数。Many a customer complains about the poor quality of the washing machines.More than one train was delayed.6.“a portion(series, pile, panel, kind, sort, type等)+of+名词”构成的短语作主语,谓语动词用单数(无论名词时单数还是复数)。A portion of the products is being inspected.A series of questions was asked by the students.A pile of reference books is on his desk.7.“a number(或numbers)of +可数名词复数”作主语时,谓语用复数形式,但a great deal(an amount, a quantity)of +不可数名词单数作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。A large number of workers were dismissed.Numbers of houses were destroyed.A great deal of time has been wasted.但the number of „作主语时,谓语动词要用单数形式 The number of students is increasing.8.“an average(或total)of +名词复数”构成的短语作主语,谓语动词一般用复数。An average of 500 students graduate from this school every year.A total of 200 bicycles were sold last month.但the average(或total)of +名词复数作主语时谓语要用单数形式
The average of students who graduate from this school every year is 500.9.“a group(crowd, gang, flock, herd)of +可数名词复数”构成的短语作主语时,谓语动词既可以单数也可以用复数。
A group of people was /were standing under the big tree.A gang of gunmen was/were robbing the jeweler's.A herd of cows was/were grazing there.三、并列结构作主语时主谓一致
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
Each boy and each girl was given an apple.Every teacher and every student was looking at him.No bus and no taxi was found in the street.2.由or, either..or„, neither„nor„, not only„but also„连接的并列结构作主语时,谓语动词的单复数形式与离它最近的主语保持一致。Neither he nor I am able to get there in ten minutes.Not only he but also I am curious about this.Neither her husband nor the doctors have told her about her condition.3.由某些介词或准并列连词连接的短语作主语,谓语动词的形式应与真正的主语保持一致。
常见的这类介词有:with, along with, together with, besides, in addition to, except, but, like, including等,准并列连词有:as well as, as much as, no less than, more than, rather than等。
Practical experience as well as formal education is considered very important in today’s job market.No one except hi relatives helps him.The bus driver, as much as the passengers, was very impatient.Jack, like many other children, often dreams of travelling in the space.The school, rather than the parents, is mainly responsible for the children’s safety.四、动名词、不定式和短语作主语时主谓一致
动名词或不定式短语作主语,谓语动词一般用单数形式。To err is human.To learn three foreign languages at the same time is very difficult.Smoking is very harmful to one’s health.Walking is the easiest way to exercise.五、名词性从句作主语时主谓一致 名词性从句作主语,谓语动词通常用单数
Whether you go or not makes no difference to me.It’s quite obvious that they have nor received the letter.How the plan is to be carried out still needs to be discussed.六、there be„ 句型中的主谓一致
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:
She is one of the few passengers who were not killed in the crash.This is the only one of the books which is worth reading.
