主謂一致的語法一致原則 該原則要求謂語動詞必須與主語在語法形式上保持一致,即主語是單數(shù)形式,動詞用單數(shù)形式,主語是復(fù)數(shù)形式,動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式: Both my parents are doctors. 我的父母都是醫(yī)生。 Her job is teaching French. 他的工作是教法語。 注意事項: 1. 主語后面接說明主語的修飾語 主語后面接說明主語的修飾語如with,along with,together with,as well as,like,rather than,but,except,besides,including,in addition to,謂語動詞不受修飾成分的影響,仍保持同主語一致的關(guān)系。 The teacher with two students was at the meeting. 那位老師和兩個學生參加了會議。 The girl as well as the boys has learned to drive a car. 這個姑娘和男孩子一道,也學會了開汽車。 A library with five thousand books is offered to the nation as a gift.一個有5000冊書的圖書館作為禮物贈送給了國家。 2. 由as well as, as much as, rather than , more than, no less than 等連接的并連主語 謂語動詞通常與前面一個主語保持一致: The teacher as well as the students has read it 不僅學生讀過它,老師也讀過。 The teacher rather than the students is to blame. 應(yīng)受責備的是老師而不是學生。 3.由and和both...and連接的并列主語 如果主語指的是兩個或兩個以上的人或物,則謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。 My mother and I have seen the film. 我媽媽和我已看過這部電影。 Both rice and wheat are grown in this part of China. 在中國的這個地方既種稻子又種小麥。 注:(1) 當由and連接的兩個并列主語受each, every, no的修飾時,謂語用單數(shù): Every boy and (every) girl likes the book. 每個男孩女孩都喜歡這本書。 No desk and (no) chair was seen in the room. 房間里不見桌椅。 (2) 當and連接兩個數(shù)相加時,謂語動詞可用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù): Six and eight makes [make] fourteen. 六加八等于十四。 (3) 當and連接的兩個的詞語指同一個人或事物時,謂語通常要用單數(shù): A cart and horse was seen in the distance. 遠處看見一輛馬車。 【例】A library wit five thousand books __________ to the nation as a gift. A. is offered B. has offered C. are offered D. have offered 【分析】此題應(yīng)選A。用連詞and連接的兩個并列主語,其謂語要用復(fù)數(shù),但是若主語后跟有with,like,but,except,besides,including,together with,along with,as well as,more than,no less than,rather than等連接的另一個名詞,其謂通常要與前面一個主語保持一致: 4. 不定式(短語), 動名詞(短語), 或從句作主語時, 謂語動詞用單數(shù)。 如: Serving the people is my great happiness. 為人民服務(wù)是我最大的幸福。 When we'll go out for an outing has been decided. 我們什么時候出去郊游已決定了。 5. 用連接的并列主語被each, every 或no修飾時, 謂語動詞用單數(shù)。 Every boy and every girl likes to go swimming. 每個男孩和每個女孩都喜歡去游泳。 No teacher and no student was absent from the meeting. 沒有老師也沒有學生開會缺席。 Each man and (each) woman is asked to help. 每個男人和每個女人都被請去幫忙。 6. each of + 復(fù)數(shù)代詞, 謂語動詞用單數(shù)。 復(fù)數(shù)代詞+each, 謂語動詞用單數(shù)。如: Each of us has something to say. 我們每個人都有話要說。 7. 若主語中有more than one 或many a/an , 盡管從意義上看是復(fù)數(shù), 但它的謂語動詞仍用單數(shù) (即遵循語法一致的原則) 。 但more+復(fù)數(shù)名詞+than one做主語時, 謂語動詞仍用復(fù)數(shù)。 如: Many a child was playing there. 很多小孩在那兒玩。 More than one student has failed the exam. 不止一個學生考試未及格。 Many a boy likes playing basketball. 許多男生都喜歡打籃球。 More than one student was late. 不只一個學生遲到 More persons than one come to help us. 不止一個人來幫助我們。 8. none 做主語時,謂語動詞可用單數(shù), 也可用復(fù)數(shù); 但在代表不可數(shù)的東西時總是看作單數(shù),因而謂語動詞要用單數(shù)。 如: None of us are (is) perfect. 人無完人。 None of this worries me. 這事一點不使我著急。 9. 名詞如: trousers, scissors, clothes, goods, glasses 等作主語時, 謂語動詞必須用復(fù)數(shù)。 如: His clothes are good. 注意;(1)這些名詞前若出現(xiàn) a pair of , 謂語一般用單數(shù)。如: A pair of glasses is on the desk. 桌上有一副眼鏡。 (2)means作主語 名詞means(方法)單數(shù)與復(fù)數(shù)同形,用作主語時,其謂語的單復(fù)數(shù)要視具體含義而定(尤其注意其前的修飾語): These means are very good. 這些方法很好。 Such a means is really unpleasant. 這樣的方法確實是令人不愉快。 若沒有特定的修飾語或語境,則用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)謂語均可: There is [are] no good means. 沒有好的方法。 Are [Is] there any other means of doing it? 做這事還有其它的什么辦法嗎? 10. 形復(fù)意單名詞如:news ; 以ics 結(jié)尾的學科名稱如: physics, mathematics, economics; 國名如: the United States; 報紙名如: the New Times; 書名如: Arabian Night <天方夜談>; 以及The United Nations<聯(lián)合國> 等作主語時, 謂語動詞用單數(shù)。 11. ”a +名詞+and a half “, ”one and a half + 名詞“, ”the number of + 名詞“ 等作主語時, 謂語動詞要用單數(shù)。 如: Only one and a half apples is left on the table. 注意: one or two + 復(fù)數(shù)名詞作主語, 謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式, 如: One or two places have been visited. 參觀了一兩個地點。
