主谓一致

主谓一致基础知识解析主谓一致的概念:英语中的谓语形式随主语的人称、数以及动作的时态、语态的变化而发生变化,即谓语动词必须与主语保持人称和数的一致,以便于协调交际。

这种语法现象叫做主谓一致。

一般分为语法一致、意义一致和就近一致三种情况以及一些特殊表达方式等。

一、语法一致1、如果主语后面跟有but,besides,as well as,no less than,rather than,with,along with,together with,like,unlike,including等带其它名词起连接作用时,谓语动词应在人称和数上与主语中心词(即前面的词)一致。

如:Jane with her two brothers was seen playing chess in the room.当时看见简和她的两个弟弟正在房间里下棋。

Nobody but Tom and Jack knows the secret. 只有汤姆知道这个秘密。

She as well as the other students has learned how to type.她和其他学生一样,也学会了如何打字。

A professor,together with some students,was moving into a new laboratory.教授和几个学生同时搬到新实验室里去了。

2、some,any,every,no构成的复合代词及no one,enough,each,either,neither作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。

如:Somebody is waiting for you downstairs. 有人在楼下等你。

Enough has been done to prevent it from happening.已经采取了足够的措施来防止这事的发生。

Has either of your parents visited you? 你的父母亲来看过你吗?Neither of them wants to see you. 他们俩都不想见你。

Nobody wants to go there. 没有人愿意去那里。

〖注〗none作主语指不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数形式;表示人或物的复数名词时,谓语单、复数均可。

如:None of us has / have heard of it. 我们没有一个人听说过这事。

None has / have been found. 一个也没找到。

None of the money in the pocket is his. 袋里的钱没有一点儿是他的。

3、由no,each,any,every,many a,either,neither,each. . . and each. . . ,more than one…,every. . . and every. . . 加名词用作主语,尽管意义有些为复数,谓语都用单数。

但no. . . and no. . . 接单数名词,谓语用单数,如接复数,谓语用复数。

如:Every boy and every girl know s that each day and each hour bring s its duty. 每个男女生都知道每日每时都有该做的事情。

4、如果主语是否定与肯定组合而成时,则谓语与肯定的一致。

如:Not you but he (He,not you) has been chosen to do so. 不是你而是他被选来做这事。

It's not you but she (It's she,not you) that is wrong. 错的是他而不是你。

5、it引导的强调句型结构中,无论所强调的是单数还是复数,都应用It is /was,如强调的是主语,that/who 之后的谓语要与主语一致。

如:It's those girls that (who) have made so many mistakes. 是那些姑娘们出了那么多的差错。

It's I who am a student. 是学生的人是我。

6、有些集体名词作主语时,如作为一个整体看待,则用单数;若就其中各个成员来考虑,谓语动词则用复数。

如fruit,luggage,class,police,government,family,team,group,audience,crowd,population,mathematics等。

但cattle,police,sheep,deer几乎总是被看成复数。

如:His family lives on Beijing Road. 他家住在北京路。

His family are fond of music. 他们一家人都喜欢音乐。

The cattle are grazing. 牛群正在吃草。

〖注〗clothes,goods,trousers,remains,glasses,thanks,wages等词一般只能用作复数。

7、当town,school,village等分别表示部称的“镇民、全校师生、村民”时,谓语动词可以用单数,也可以用复数。

有时可用the或加形容词whole修饰。

如:The whole school were/was sorry when she left.当她离开时,全校都感到难过。

The whole town is/are in agreement about the plan.全镇居民都同意这个计划。

8、特例:This kind of men is dangerous. 这种类型的男人是很危险的。

(习惯上用单数)二、意义一致:有时主语是单数形式,但其意义为复数形式; 有时主语是复数形式,其意义却为单数,且谓语要用单数形式。

1、形式上复数,意义上为单数形式的词有:news,mathematics,physics,politics 等。

means和works可根据谓语是单复数来判断其主语所表示的事物是单数还是复数。

如:The steel works was built in the 1950s. 这个钢厂是50年代建的。

The steel works in the country produce more steel than those in that country. 这个国家的钢厂比那个国家的钢厂生产的钢要多。

3、代词what,who,which,any,all,most,more,half等作主语时,谓语动词用单数还是复数主要取决于它们所代替的意义。

the rest of,all of,two-thirds of,half of,most of,a lot of,lots of,ninety percent of,plenty of,part of等用作主语时,谓语动词与介词of后面的名词保持一致。
