语法知识主谓一致的解析
语法是掌握英语的一个基础,打好这个基础会使你分析文章更容易,也能够写出很好的句式,小编整理了主谓一致的语法点,供大家学习参考。
主谓一致
I要点
谓语受主语支配,须和主语在人称和数上保持一致,这叫做主谓一致,主谓一致包括语法一致、意义上一致和就近一致。
1、语法上一致
(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,谓语动词要用单数,主语为复数时,谓语用复数,如,To work hard is necessary for a student.
(2)、用and或both……and连接的并列主语,谓语动词用复数,如,Both he and I are right.
但并列主语如果指的是同一人,同一事物或同一概念,谓语动词用单数,如, His teacher and friend is a beautiful girl.
(3)、主语是单数时,尽管后面跟有as well as, but ,except, besides, with ,along with, together with, like等,谓语动词仍用单数,如,The teacher as well as his students is excited.
(4)、某些不定代词,如做主语,谓语动词要用单数,如:Everyone has a book.
(5)、一些只有复数形式的名词,如people, cattle, clothes等作主语时,谓语动词要用复数,如,A lot of people are dancing outside.
2、意义上一致
(1)、表时间、距离、价格、度量衡等的名词作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数,如,Twenty years is not a long time.
(2)、表示总称意义的名词public, police, cattle, clothes等作主语时,谓语动词用复数,如,People are talking about the accident.
(3)、有些集合名词,如family, team等作主语,如作为一个整体看待,谓语动词用单数,如指其中每个成员,则用复数,如,My family is a big one.
My family are watching TV.
3、邻近一致
用连词or, either……or, neither……nor, whether……or, not only…but also,等连接的并列主语,如果一个是单数,一个是复数,则谓语动词按就近一致原则,与最靠近它的主语一致,如,Either you or I am mad.
II.例题
例1、The chemical works _______ where my father has worked for thirty years in 1949.
A. was built B. were built C. is built D. are built
解析:该题答案为A。works形式上是复数,意思上是单数,因此谓语动词用单数,类似的还有news, maths, politics, physics.
例2、They each _______ a copy of the new physics.
A. have B. has C. having D. gets
解析:该题答案为A。They each不等于each of …, each of 这个词组作主语谓语用单数如each of the students hands in their homework,而they each作主语,谓语要随each前面的词来变化。
主谓一致
主谓一致即谓语动词在人称和数上要和主语保持一致。人称指的是主语作为第一、第二、第三等不同人称时,谓语动词的变化;数指的是谓语动词的单复数变化。
总的来说,主谓一致有以下 3 个指导原则:
语法一致:主语是单数形式,谓语也采取单数形式;主语是复数形式,谓语必须采取复数形式。例如:
Both teachers have their own merits.
The boy has a cute sister.
意义一致:主语和谓语的关系不取决于语法上的单、复数形式,而是取决于主语的单复数意义。例如:
The family are all fond of football.
The family is the tiniest cell of the society.
就近原则:这一原则是指,谓语动词的人称和数常常与最近作主语的词语保持一致。例如:
Not only he but also all his family are keen on music.
Neither his family nor he knows anything about the news.
