主谓一致

考点知识清单

“一致”是指句子之间或词语之间在人称、数、性等方面保持的协调关系。在英语中最主要的一致关系是主语与谓语动词之间数的一致。谓语动词的数必须和主语的人称和数一致,这就叫主谓一致。

在判定一个句子主谓语是否一致时,要遵循下列三个原则:语法一致、意义一致和就近一致。“语法一致”也就是平常说的从语法形式上取得一致,即主语为单数形式,谓语动词也采用单数形式;主语为复数形式,谓语动词亦为复数形式。“意义一致”就是从意义着眼来处理主谓语一致问题。有时,主语形式为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词依意义而定,也采用复数形式。“就近一致”是指谓语动词的人称和数往往和其最近的主语保持一致。

单数名词作主语时的主谓一致

单数名词作主语,谓语动词通常用单数形式,但是有些单数名词形式却含有复数意义,这时谓语动词要用复数形式。

[例1] A perfect gift with many flowers _______ _to the beautiful girl.

A.is sent

B.are sent

C.has sent

D.has been sent

[解析] 句子的真正主语为a perfect gift,所以谓语动词须用第三人称单数形式;根据题干大意此处要用现在完成时态。

[答案] D

[例2] In my opinion,What Zhai Zhigang,Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng _______ _good to our country’s international position.

A.did do does

B.did does do

C.does did do

D.do do did

[解析] 句子的主语是what引导的主语从句,即:what Zhai Zhigang,Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng did。谓语动词用单数,借助于助动词does强调谓语,后用动词原形do。

[答案] B

[例3] Next to me sat an old lady and a country girl who _______ __looking at the foreigners in the air.

A.are

B.is

C.were D.was

[解析] 本句是倒装句,an old lady and a country girl是主句的主语,也是who引导的定语从句的先行词。定语从句的谓语应与先行词保持一致。

[答案] C

方法二

分清并列连词

1.两个单数名词(主语)用and或both...and...连接时,谓语用复数,但要注意前后两个名词都带有冠词。

[答案] C

[例2] The writer and the educator _______ __visited our school.

A.have

B.has

C.had

D.are

[解析] The writer and the educator是两个人,谓语动词用复数。句意:那位作家和那位教育家参观了我们的学校。如果换成The writer and educator,就是一个人了,即“那位作家兼教育家”,谓语动词用单数。

记熟一些习惯用法

1.“many a以及more than one+单数名词”作主语.谓语用单数。

2.“a/an+单数名词+or two”作主语,谓语用单数;而“one or two+复数名词”作主语,谓语用复数。 3.不定代词anybody,anything,something,everybody,no one,nothing等作主语,谓语用单数。 4.表示“时间、距离、价格”等复数名词作主语时,谓语用单数。 5.“one and a half+复数名词”作主语时,谓语用单数。

6.each...and each...;every...and every...;no...and no...;many a...and many a...等作主语时,谓语用单数。

7.“分数或百分数+of+名词”作主语,谓语与of后的名词保持数的一致。

[例1]

_______ _of the land in that district _______ __covered with trees and gra.

A.Two fifth;is

B.Two fifth;are

C.Two fifths;is

D.Two fifths;are

[解析] 首先“五分之二”应为two fifths,故答案应为C、D中的一个;当“分数+of+名词”作主语时,谓语动词的数要与of后的名词保持数的一致,这里的名词是the land。

[答案] C

[例2] The number of the students of this school _______ __large.

A.are

B.are not

C.isn’t

D.aren’t

[解析] 在“the number of+复数名词”的结构中,“of+复数名词”的介词短语作后置定语,the number是中心名词,所以谓语动词应用单数形式。

[答案] C

[例3] Every boy and every girl as well as some teachers who _______ __to visit the museum _______ _asked to be at the school gate before 6:30 in the morning.

A.are;are

B.is;is

C.are;is

D.is;are

[解析] 本题是一个带有定语从句的复合句,定语从句修饰的是teachers,关系词在从句中作主语,应与先行词的数保持一致,故从句谓语用复数。句子主语是Every boy and every girl,当主语后面跟有with,together with,as well as等连接的词时,其谓语动词的单复数不受这些词语的影响。every...and every...作主语,谓语用单数。

[答案] C
