【复习目标】
•掌握主谓一致的原则。
•掌握主谓一致应注意的几个问题。
【前准备】
•要求学生回忆有关主谓一致的具体应用。
【知识要点】
1/语法形式上的一致。
主语为单数形式, 谓语动词用单数形式:主语为复数形式,谓语动词用复数形式。
2.意义上一致。
(1)主语形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词用复数。
单数形式表示复数意义的词有people, police, audience等。
(2)主语形式为复数而意义上却是单数或不可数,谓语动词用单数。
形复意单(不可数)的词有:news, maths, physics等。
3.就近原则
谓语动词的单、复数取决于最靠近它的主语,如there be句型或用连词either...or...,neither...nor...,not only...but also等。
4.要注意的几个问题。
(1)class, family, team, country, school等集合名词作主语时,如果指整体,用单数;如果指每个成员,用复数。
如:His family are watching TV in the sitting room.
His family is very big.
(2)trousers, shoes, glasses, socks, stockings, scissors单独作主语时,谓语动词用复数,但当它们与a pair of或pairs of连用时,谓语动词与pair的数保持一致。
如:The pair of glasses fits you well.
Several pairs of new shoes have been sent to the old men.
(3)名词性物主代词后的动词单复数,取决于它所代替的是单数还是复数。
如:ours (=Our Party) is a great party.
Your shoes are black, mine (=my shoes) are brown.
5.当主语后面跟有with, together with, like, but, except, besides, as well as等引导的词组时,其谓语动词的单、复数按主语单、复数而定。
如:r Green together with his children goes to the park every Sunday.
6.the+adj表示一类人,作主语时,谓语动词用复数。
如:The old are going to be looked after well.
7.and连接并列主语、谓语动词通常用复数,但如果指同个人,同一事物或同一概
念,谓语动词用单数,这时and后面的名词无冠词。
如:A speaker and writer is coming tomorro(同一个人)
A speaker and a writer are coming tomorro(两个人)
8.Every A and every B/Each A and each B/No A and no B作主语时,谓语动词
用单数,其中A、B代表单数名词。
9.The number of+...,谓语动词用单数。
A number of+...,谓语动词用复数,相当于a lot of。
如:The number of the students in our class is 50.
A number of students are learning Japanese no
10.在主谓倒装的句子中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致
Behind the house are some trees.
11.表示数量的one and a half后,名词要用复数形式,但是其短语作主语时,谓
语动词用单数形式。
如:One and a half bananas is left on the table.
12.几分之几/half of/part of/the rest of+n/pron.作主语,谓语动词由后面的n/pron决定。而one of+n/pron作主语时,谓语动词用单数。
如:Two thirds of the bread was eaten.
13.名词所有格之后的名词被省略的情况一般只指商店、工场、住宅等,作主语时,动词一般用单数。
如:The doctor's is on the other side of the street.
14.表示“一段时间”“一段距离”“一些钱”的名词作主语时,谓语动词一般用
单数。
如:Six miles is too far for an old man to walk.
15.关系代词who, that, which在定语从句中作主语时,其谓语动词的数与先行词
一致。
如:Those who want to go have signed their names here.
16.疑问代词who, what, which作主语时,谓语动词根据说话人所表达的意思决定单
复数。如:
Who live next door? It's Zhang and Liu./Who lives next door? It's Liu.
