主 谓 一 致 的 三 个 原 则
A 语法一致 B 意义一致 C 就近原则
A 语法一致
语法一致是指主语和谓语在单复数形式上的 一致关系,主语为单数形式,谓语动词用单数 形式;反之,谓语动词用复数形式. My child has no intention of spending a vacation with me. My children have no intention of spending a vacation with me.
集合名词作主语
B 集合名词作主语
集合名词表示有若干个体组成的集合体,如army, audience, class, club, company, crowd, government, group, party, population, team, union等. 1.集合名词作主语时,若表示整体概念,谓语动词用 单数,若表示构成该集合体的成员,则谓语动词用复 数. His family are waiting for him. But the man's family was small - only himself and his wife.
2.一个名词为几个并列形容词所修饰时,这时主语 和谓语动词的一致关系一般遵循语法一致的原则. Clever and slow students are treated alike. A black and white kitten was found in the garden yesterday. 比 较 A black and a white dogs are playing in the yard. A black and white dog is playing in the yard.
这类名词前有a, such a, this, that, every修饰时,谓语用单数; 有all, such, these, those修 饰时,谓语用复数. Every means has been tried out without much result. All means have been tried out without much result.
B 某些词组采取就近原则
以or, either...or, neither...nor, not...but, not only...but also等连接的名词 (代词)作并列主语时,谓语动词的单复数应根据 就近一致的原则. Neither he nor I am willing to go shopping today. Not the students but their teacher is invited to the party. -Are either you or he to go there __ 是你 还是他将去那里 -Neither is.______
Bቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ意义一致
意义一致是说谓语动词的单,复数要取决于主 语所表达的概念,而不取决于表面上的语法标 记. 1.主语形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动 词用复数. The majority of primary school teachers are women.
2.主语形式为复数,而意义上却是单数,谓语动词用单 数. No news is good news. Billiards is becoming more and more popular in some cities
3.一些形复意单的名词,包括有成双成套部分的衣物 或工具名称,作主语时,谓语用复数. My blue trousers have been worn out. His glasses are new. 提 示 这些名词如用a pair of修饰时,谓语动词用单数. The shoes are under the bed. 鞋在床下. The pair of shoes is under the bed. 这双鞋在 床下.
单一主语的主谓一致
A形复意单的名词作主语 形复意单的名词作主语(即形式为复数,意义 为单数),按意义一致的原则,用作单数意义时, 谓语用单数,反之,谓语用复数. 1.许多学科名称,如mathematics, physics, economics, politics,以及news等名词作主 语时,动词用单数. News is traveling fast nowadays.
A 由and连接的并列主语
1.用and (或both...and) 连接并列主语时,谓 语动词通常用复数. A hammer and a saw are useful tools. ★当and连接的两个名词是指组合到一起的一件 完整的或成套的东西,或表示同一个人或一种概 念时,谓语动词要用单数形式. The writer and teacher is speaking at the meeting.
4.单,复数同形名词作主语时,按意义一致的原则,用 作单数意义时,谓语用单数;用作复数意义时,谓语有 复数.这类名词有:sheep, deer, fish, means, works, species, Chinese, Japanese等. The (This) glass works was set up in 1986. This species of rose is very rare.
4.带有并列动词的what从句作主语时,要根据 意义一致的原则决定动词的数. What he says and does do not agree. What he says and does does not concern me.
在某些成语中,一些并列主语用and相连时,其 后谓语用单数. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.
C 谓语动词的数不受某些词组影响 主语后跟有as well as, as much as, no less than, along with, like, rather than, together with, besides, including, in addition to等引导的词组 时,其谓语动词的单,复数按主语的单,复数 而定. The manager, rather than the workers, is responsible for the loss. Nobody but three policemen was on the spot.
3.在each...and each..., every...and every..., no...and no...等结构之后,谓 语动词用单数形式. Each boy and each girl has an apple. Every hour and every minute is precious. No bird and no beast is seen on the lonely island.
C 代词作主语
C 代词作主语
1.名词性物主代词作主语时,既可以用作单数,也 可以用作复数,这取决于它所代替的是单数还是 复数. Ours is a great country. Your shoes are black, and mine are brown. 2.such, the same等指示代词作主语时,应根据 其所指的内容来决定单,复数. Such are her wishes. Such was Albert Einstein, a simple man with great achievements.
提 示 一般说来,究竟何时采用何种原则,应视 英语习惯用法而定.但在实际使用中,如 果对上述三种原则捉摸不定时,遵循语 法一致的原则是一种比较稳妥的方法.
