线话英语语法之:主谓一致

线话英语|2015-05-11 16:45:15

   在英语句子里,谓语受主语部署,其动词必需和主语在人称和数上保持一致,这就叫主谓一致。寻其法令,大抵可演绎为三个原则,即语法一致、逻辑意义一致和就近一致准则。

   (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。 内容来自

   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 Young Pioneers. 内容来自

   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辨别有no, each, every more than a (an) , many a (an)修饰时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。如:Every student and every teacher was in the room.. / No boy and no girl likes it. 内容来自

   3、主语为单数名词或代词,只管后面跟有with, together with, except, but, like, as well as, rather than, more than, no less than, besides, including等引起的短语,谓语动词仍用单数形式;若主语为复数,谓语用复数形式。如:Mr Green, together with his wife and children, has come to China. / Nobody but Jim and Mike was on the playground. / She, like you and Tom, is very tall.

   4、either, neither, each, every 或no +单数名词跟由some, any, no, every构成的复合不定代词,都作单数看待。如:Each of us has a new book. / Everything around us is matter.

   留神:① 在书面语中当either或neither后跟有"of+复数名词(或代词)"作主语时,其谓语动词也可用复数。如:Neither of the texts is (are) interesting. ② 若none of后面的名词是不可数名词,它的谓语动词就要用单数;若它后面的名词是复数,它的谓语动词用单数或复数都可能。如:None of us has (have) been to America.

内容来自

 

   5、在定语从句时,关系代词that, who, which等作主语时,其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。如:He is one of my friends who are working hard. / He is the only one of my friends who is working hard. 内容来自

   6、如果集体名词指的是全体群体,它的谓语动词用单数;如果它指群体的成员,其谓语动词就用复数形式。这些词有family, class, crowd, committee, population, audience等。如:Class Four is on the third floor. / Class Four are unable to agree upon a monitor.

内容来自

 

   注意:people, police, cattle等名词个别都用作复数。如:The police are looking for the lost child. CopyRight .com

   7、由"a lot of, lots of, plenty of, the rest of, the majority of + 名词"构成的短语以及由"分数或百分数+名词"形成的短语作主语,其谓语动词的数要根据短语中后面名词的数而定。如:There are a lot of people in the classroom. / The rest of the lecture is wonderful. / 50% of the students in our class are girls.

 

 

   注意: a number of"很多",作定语修饰复数名词,谓语用复数;the number of"…的数量",主语是number,谓语用单数。

 

 

   8、在倒装句中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如:There comes the bus./ On the wall are many pictures. / Such is the result. / Such are the facts. 内容来自

   (二)逻辑意思一致准则:逻辑意义一致就是谓语动词的数必须跟主语的意义一致(因有时主语形式为单数,但意义为复数;有时形式为复数,但意义为单数)。

   1、what, who, which, any, more, all等代词能够是单数,也可是复数,主要靠意思来决定。如:Which is your bag? / Which are your bags? / All is going well. / All have gone to Beijing.

 

 

   2、表示"时间、分量、长度、价值"等的名词的复数作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数形式, 这是由于作主语的名词在概念上是一个整体,如:Thirty minutes is enough for the work.

内容来自

 

   3、若英语是书名、片名、格言、剧名、报名、国名等的复数形式,其谓语动词通常用单数形式。如: "The Arabian Nights"is an interesting story-book.

 

 

   4、表数目的短语"one and a half"后接复数名词作主语时,其谓语动词可用单数情势(也可用复数。如:One and a half apples is (are) left on the table.

CopyRight .com

 

   5、算式中表示数量(字)的主语通常作单数对待,其谓语动词采用单数形式。如:Twelve plus eight is twenty. / Fifty-six divided by eight is seven.

   6、一些学科名词是以 -ics 结尾,如:mathematics, politics, physics 以及news, works等,都属于形式上是复数的名词,实际意思为单数名词,它们作主语时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。如:The paper works was built in 1990. / I think physics isn't easy to study.

 

 

   7、trousers, glasses, clothes, shoes, 等词作主语时,谓语用复数,但如果这些名词前有a (the) pair of等量词修饰时,谓语动词用单数。如:My glasses are broken. / The pair of shoes under the bed is his.

   8、"定冠词the + 形容词或分词",表现某一类人时,动词用复数。

 

 

   (三)就近一致原则:在英语句子中,有时谓语动词的人称和数与最近的主语保持一致。 CopyRight .com

   1、当两个主语由either … or, neither … nor, whether … or …, not only … but also连接时,谓语动词和邻近的主语一致。如:Either the teacher or the students are our friends. / Neither they nor he is wholly right. / Is neither he nor they wholly right?

 

 

   2、there be句型be动词单复数取决于其后的主语。假如其后是由and衔接的两个主语,则应与凑近的那个主语坚持一致。如:There are two chairs and a desk in the room..
