第一篇：句子改錯(cuò)主謂一致

SAT 文法中的主謂一致

根據(jù)ＳＡＴ歷年真題以及官方指南習(xí)題，主謂一致的句子改錯(cuò)題又可以分為五大類：１ 迷失主語(yǔ) ２ 復(fù)合主語(yǔ) ３ 單數(shù)原則 ４ 關(guān)系從句 ５ 倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)

１ 迷失主語(yǔ)：

即修飾主語(yǔ)的成份過(guò)長(zhǎng)，難以辨別真正主語(yǔ)。因此很難判斷謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的形式。例一 A group of yachts with brightly colored banners flying in the wind were entering the harbor.在這個(gè)句子中很少有同學(xué)能夠認(rèn)識(shí)到真正的主語(yǔ)是a group，yachts with brightly colored banners 以及flying in the wind都是對(duì)其修飾的成份。因此根據(jù)主謂一致原則，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用單數(shù) was entering 而非were entering。

在這里Sally 告訴大家，SAT文法中經(jīng)常有 名詞一 of 名詞二 的結(jié)構(gòu)，在這樣的結(jié)構(gòu)中，核心名詞是 of 之前的名詞一，判斷謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用 單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)是根據(jù)名詞一來(lái)決定。

例二 French mountain honey made from linden blossoms, which are sometimes called ‘lime blossoms’, have a distinctively citrus flavor.在這里真正的主語(yǔ)是 honey，和謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之間相隔了一個(gè)分詞短語(yǔ)：made from liden blossoms 和一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句： which are sometimes called ‘lime blossoms’,因此謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用單數(shù) has 而非have。

例三 Despite the heavy rain, the television reporter, accompanied by her loyal film crew, were willing to wait outside the hotel until the delegates finished their meeting.該句中，主語(yǔ)和謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞之間有一個(gè)插入語(yǔ)：accompanied by her loyal film crew, 真正的主語(yǔ) the television reporter, 因此謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞為 was 而非were

2、復(fù)合主語(yǔ)： 顧名思義，復(fù)合主語(yǔ)就是有兩個(gè)或者兩個(gè)以上的主語(yǔ)，這是我們應(yīng)該跟不同的復(fù)合主語(yǔ)選用不用的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。

一般情況下復(fù)合主語(yǔ)有以下幾種情況： A． both…and…(謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞使用復(fù)數(shù))B． neither…nor;either….or;not only…but also….(謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞根據(jù)就近原則選用相應(yīng)形式)例一 Our genetic make-up and our personal experience make us who we are.在這個(gè)句子中，降到了 genetic make-up 和 personal experience 兩個(gè)方面做主語(yǔ)，因此謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該使用復(fù)數(shù)形式 make。

例二 Either a novel by Isaac Asimov or one by Arthur C.Clarke are going to be discussed at the next meeting of the Science Fiction Book Club.該句主語(yǔ)是一個(gè)either…or 的句型結(jié)構(gòu)，要根據(jù)就近原則決定謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞單復(fù)數(shù)，因此應(yīng)該是is going 而非are going。永遠(yuǎn)單數(shù)原則

有些詞語(yǔ)修飾主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞永遠(yuǎn)使用單數(shù)。這些詞為：each，every，either of;neither of 例： Because neither of the dolls were in its original box, the pair would not be worth as much as

the toy collector had hoped.因?yàn)樵~句用了neither of 的結(jié)構(gòu)，因此謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù) was 而非were，盡管dolls 緊跟謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞。關(guān)系從句中的單復(fù)數(shù) 關(guān)系從句又叫定語(yǔ)從句，意思是定語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞形式由此從句所修飾的名詞單復(fù)數(shù)決定。

例一： Thanks to the strength of the bonds between its constituent carbon atoms, a diamond had exceptional physical properties that makes it useful in a wide variety of industrial applicants.該句包含一個(gè)定語(yǔ)從句_ that makes it useful in a wide variety of industrial applicants.該從句中的that 指代的是physical properties 是復(fù)數(shù)名詞，因此定語(yǔ)從句中的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)形式 為 make 而非makes 倒裝

倒裝意為著謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞放在主語(yǔ)之前，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式由放在其后的主語(yǔ)決定。例一：Over that hill are thousand of bison.該句中介詞短語(yǔ) over that hill 不能做主語(yǔ)，因此該句為倒裝句，真正的主語(yǔ)是thousand of bison，因此謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞為復(fù)數(shù)形式：are。

例二：Riding on the bus were a dozen commuters.句子里面 a dozen commuters 是主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用were

例三： Across the street from the new bookstore and coffee shop were an old, dilapidated playground whose broken equipment and overgrown weeds attested to long neglect.不難看出，這是一個(gè)介詞短語(yǔ)提前的倒裝，真正的主語(yǔ)是 an old，dilapidated playground，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞當(dāng)然要用單數(shù)形式：was。

18.Some pictures of the river brought the days back to the old ________ they swam in it.A.when B.that C.who D.where 19.The man showed us so heavy a stone ________ no man can lift.A.that B.as C.which D.and 20.He stayed there for quite a long time, during ________ time he learned much spoken English.A.that B.this C.which D.same 答案與解析：

1.A.主語(yǔ)與run(延伸)是主動(dòng)關(guān)系，所以用現(xiàn)在分詞。Those指街道，所以不用who而用that來(lái)引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。2.B.因?yàn)樵诖祟}中where引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，表示“在這種種況下”，與in which相當(dāng)。3.A.因?yàn)橄刃性~是Beijing而不是this autumn所以用where引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。

4.B.答案B是省略了關(guān)系代詞that的定語(yǔ)從句，另外，to后還省略了動(dòng)詞原形paint。5.C.因?yàn)閛f which引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，并在從句中作定語(yǔ)。of which the telephone number = whose telephone number。6.D.因?yàn)檫@是個(gè)非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞是前面一句話的內(nèi)容。

7.B.因?yàn)楸硎尽半A段、程度、地步”的the point在定語(yǔ)從句中作地點(diǎn)狀語(yǔ)，所以用where引導(dǎo)定

語(yǔ)從句。8.B.因?yàn)橄刃性~是research centers并在定語(yǔ)從句中作狀語(yǔ)，所以用where。

9.C.因?yàn)楫?dāng)先行詞是表示事物的all, little, few, much, anything, everything, nothing等時(shí)，多用that引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句。

10.因?yàn)橄刃性~是the time，且在定語(yǔ)從句中作狀語(yǔ)，所以用when引導(dǎo)。此題的先行詞與定語(yǔ)從句被主句謂語(yǔ)分開(kāi)了，要善于辨別。11.B.先行詞是Taiwan is a part of China整個(gè)主句，一般由as或which引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，但which引導(dǎo)的定語(yǔ)從句只能放在主句之后，另外，as有“正如”之意，而which沒(méi)有，所以用as。順便說(shuō)說(shuō)，原句改為：It is known to everybody that Taiwan is?= What is known to everybody is that Taiwan is?

12.A.兩空都是考查定語(yǔ)從句，先行詞分別是the day和Shen Zhou V was launched, the day在定語(yǔ)從句中作狀語(yǔ)，用when引導(dǎo)；后句是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，不能用that，要用which。13.A.因?yàn)樘娲豢蓴?shù)名詞(the bread)只能用that，排除B和D；又因?yàn)橄刃性~that(the bread)在定語(yǔ)從句中作buy的賓語(yǔ)，用which，所以選A。14.D.當(dāng)定語(yǔ)從句的先行詞前有such, so, as等詞語(yǔ)時(shí)，由as引導(dǎo)，并且as在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)，as在此題中作dream of的賓語(yǔ)。注意：在表示“如此?以致?”的such /so?that?結(jié)構(gòu)中，that不作任何句子成份。15.B.考查非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，all of whose homes = all of their homes他們所有的房子。16.D.因?yàn)橄刃性~是前面整個(gè)句子，且在從句中作主語(yǔ)，所以用which。of course是插入語(yǔ)。17.D.將疑問(wèn)句改為陳述句：this research center is?顯然缺少先行詞，必須加上代詞the one來(lái)作先行詞，又因定語(yǔ)從句不缺主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)，所以用關(guān)系副詞where。假若在this后加the，就選where，請(qǐng)想想這是為什么。18.A.因?yàn)橄刃性~是the days，并在定語(yǔ)從句中作狀語(yǔ)。19.B.當(dāng)先行詞前有so時(shí)，用as引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句，as在從句中作主語(yǔ)或賓語(yǔ)。假若在lift后加上it，答案就是that了，請(qǐng)想想這是為什么。

20.C.因前后均的句子，必須要選連詞，排除B和D；又因在介詞后不能用that來(lái)引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從 主謂一致練習(xí)

第四篇：主謂一致專題)

主謂一致

主謂一致指的是主語(yǔ)和位于動(dòng)詞在“數(shù)”的方面一定要保持一致，而這種一致關(guān)系通常是由下列三種原則支配的

一、語(yǔ)法一致：主語(yǔ)是單數(shù)形式或不可數(shù)名詞，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也用單數(shù)形式；主語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)形式，位于也用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

The library does not open until nine o’clock.The Great Wall draws numbers of tourists every year.The best reward I get from teaching is the joy of seeing my students grow and develop.Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.二、意義一致原則：主語(yǔ)雖在語(yǔ)法形式上是復(fù)數(shù)形式，但意義上是單數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也要用單數(shù)；主語(yǔ)雖在語(yǔ)法形式上不是復(fù)數(shù)形式，但意義上時(shí)復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也要用復(fù)數(shù)。Cattle are grazing peacefully on the pasture.The police have arrested a lot of suspects.Two miles is a long walk for the 80-year-old man.One thousand dollars is a large sum of money for the couple.Five pounds is enough.Twenty years is a long time on one’s life.三、就近原則：有時(shí)謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的形式是和它最近的詞（或詞組）保持一致的。Neither you nor I am right.Not only the boy but also his parents enjoy playing that game.Twenty percent of students are from Wuhan.Only half of the members agree with him.易出現(xiàn)問(wèn)題的地方：

一、集體名詞與以“s”結(jié)尾的名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)主謂一致 1.people, cattle, police, poultry, militia, youth等形式上是單數(shù)，但意義上時(shí)復(fù)數(shù)，所以謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)。

The police are questioning him.People often hear him telling about his experience in the Second World War.The militia are determined to fight the enemy to the finish.2.audience, committee, family, government, group, staff, team, public, class, crew, arm等若表示整體概念，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)，若強(qiáng)調(diào)成員或個(gè)體，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)。His family are proud of him.His family is not very large.The audience burst into thunderous applause.A large audience was watching their performance.某些表示疾病的詞，如mumps, arthritis, bronchitis, rickets, diabetes等，以及某些表示游戲的詞，如cards, ninepins, darts, bowls, marbles, billiards, chequers等，它們?cè)谛问缴想m然是復(fù)數(shù)，但在意義上是單數(shù)，因此謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)。Sometimes mumps is rather dangerous.Arthritis is not a kind of infectious disease.Marbles is greatly enjoyed by the children here.Diabetes is a kind of chronic disease.4.某些以-ics 結(jié)尾的表示學(xué)科的詞，如physics, mathematics, economics, politics, linguistics, optics, electronics, acoustics等，形式上是復(fù)數(shù)形式，但意義上是單數(shù)，因此謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)。

Some students say physics is much more interesting than mathematics.I don’t think linguistics is difficult to learn.但當(dāng)這些詞不表示“學(xué)科”時(shí)，有時(shí)可當(dāng)復(fù)數(shù)用，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也要用復(fù)數(shù)。

Statistics show that the divorce rate in China is much higher than ten years ago.Politics have never interested her.5.以“s”結(jié)尾的國(guó)家、組織、機(jī)構(gòu)等雖然形式上是復(fù)數(shù)，但卻表示單數(shù)意義，所以謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式。

Some people say the United States is a large “melting pot”.The United Nations was founded on October 24, 1945.但表示群島、瀑布、山脈等以“s”結(jié)尾的專有名詞常被看成是復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也要用復(fù)數(shù)。The Niagara Falls attracts tourists from many countries every year.The Rocky Mountains are vast and spectacular.6.某些表示由兩部分組成的物體的名詞在形式和意義上都是復(fù)數(shù)如：scissors, pants, trousers, shorts, glasses, spectacles, jeans等，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也用復(fù)數(shù)。His glasses were broken this morning.Your trousers are in the wardrobe.另外還有一些常以“s”結(jié)尾的詞，如：contents, archives, arms, goods, suburbs, stairs, earnings, surroundings, belongings, particulars等也通常被看成是復(fù)數(shù)，作主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)也用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

The suburbs are more and more seriously polluted.The surroundings are very beautiful.All his belongings are in that big bag.二、表示數(shù)量概念的名詞（或詞組）作主語(yǔ)時(shí)主謂一致

1.表示時(shí)間、距離、價(jià)值、重量等的名詞或詞組作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，常把這些數(shù)量看成一個(gè)整體，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式。

Seven months is needed to translate this book into Chinese.Five hundred miles is a long distance.Where is the ten dollars I gave you yesterday? 2.“分?jǐn)?shù)或百分?jǐn)?shù)+of?”構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)，如果of后面是單數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)；如果of后面是復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用復(fù)數(shù)。Two-thirds of the gasoline has been used.Over forty percent of the employees are women.Ninety percent of the wasteland has been turned into rice fields.Three-fifths of the trees have been cut down.3.“all(half, most, some, the rest, none等）+of?”構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)，如果of后面是復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)；如果of后面是單數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也用單數(shù)。All of his energy has been used up.All of the restaurants are closed.Most of the oil is imported from Saudi Arabian.Most of the rubbish has been removed from the playground.4.“l(fā)ots（plenty, heaps, loads, scads等）+of?”構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，如果of 后gender是復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也用復(fù)數(shù)；如果of后跟的是不可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù) Plenty of time has been spent on this experiment.Loads of friends have come to attend his wedding.Scads of money has been wasted in the past 2 years.5.當(dāng)“many a+名詞”或“more than one+名詞”作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。Many a customer complains about the poor quality of the washing machines.More than one train was delayed.6.“a portion(series, pile, panel, kind, sort, type等)+of+名詞”構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)（無(wú)論名詞時(shí)單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)）。A portion of the products is being inspected.A series of questions was asked by the students.A pile of reference books is on his desk.7.“a number(或numbers)of +可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)”作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)形式，但a great deal（an amount, a quantity)of +不可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式。A large number of workers were dismissed.Numbers of houses were destroyed.A great deal of time has been wasted.但the number of ?作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式 The number of students is increasing.8.“an average(或total)of +名詞復(fù)數(shù)”構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般用復(fù)數(shù)。An average of 500 students graduate from this school every year.A total of 200 bicycles were sold last month.但the average（或total)of +名詞復(fù)數(shù)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)謂語(yǔ)要用單數(shù)形式

The average of students who graduate from this school every year is 500.9.“a group(crowd, gang, flock, herd)of +可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)”構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞既可以單數(shù)也可以用復(fù)數(shù)。

A group of people was /were standing under the big tree.A gang of gunmen was/were robbing the jeweler's.A herd of cows was/were grazing there.三、并列結(jié)構(gòu)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)主謂一致

1.由and或both?and?連接的并列結(jié)構(gòu)作主語(yǔ)，如果意義為單數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞就用單數(shù)；如果意義為復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞就要用復(fù)數(shù)。

Asia, Africa and Latin America make up the third world.Both families and society are responsible for juvenile delinquency.下面由and連接的并列結(jié)構(gòu)表面上是復(fù)數(shù)，實(shí)際上表示復(fù)數(shù)意義，所以謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用復(fù)數(shù)。Chinese and America culture are quite different.What they have said and done are quite disappointing.當(dāng)each?and each?, every?and every?, no?and no?作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式

Each boy and each girl was given an apple.Every teacher and every student was looking at him.No bus and no taxi was found in the street.2.由or, either..or?, neither?nor?, not only?but also?連接的并列結(jié)構(gòu)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式與離它最近的主語(yǔ)保持一致。Neither he nor I am able to get there in ten minutes.Not only he but also I am curious about this.Neither her husband nor the doctors have told her about her condition.3.由某些介詞或準(zhǔn)并列連詞連接的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的形式應(yīng)與真正的主語(yǔ)保持一致。

常見(jiàn)的這類介詞有：with, along with, together with, besides, in addition to, except, but, like, including等，準(zhǔn)并列連詞有：as well as, as much as, no less than, more than, rather than等。

Practical experience as well as formal education is considered very important in today’s job market.No one except hi relatives helps him.The bus driver, as much as the passengers, was very impatient.Jack, like many other children, often dreams of travelling in the space.The school, rather than the parents, is mainly responsible for the children’s safety.四、動(dòng)名詞、不定式和短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)主謂一致

動(dòng)名詞或不定式短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般用單數(shù)形式。To err is human.To learn three foreign languages at the same time is very difficult.Smoking is very harmful to one’s health.Walking is the easiest way to exercise.五、名詞性從句作主語(yǔ)時(shí)主謂一致 名詞性從句作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用單數(shù)

Whether you go or not makes no difference to me.It’s quite obvious that they have nor received the letter.How the plan is to be carried out still needs to be discussed.六、there be? 句型中的主謂一致

be 動(dòng)詞的形式由它后面的主語(yǔ)決定，但當(dāng)be 動(dòng)詞后是并列結(jié)構(gòu)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，遵循就近原則，be動(dòng)詞的形式要與它最近的主語(yǔ)保持一致。There are servants in the house.There is no water on the moon.There are a lot of spectators in the stadium.七、定語(yǔ)從句中的主謂一致

定語(yǔ)從句中謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)形式是由先行詞所決定的。That’s the young man who comes to the library every week.Yesterday they visited the palaces which were built 200 years ago.在one of+名詞復(fù)數(shù)+定語(yǔ)從句的句型中，定語(yǔ)從句的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)形式，但當(dāng)one 前有the或the only 時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)：

She is one of the few passengers who were not killed in the crash.This is the only one of the books which is worth reading.

第五篇：高中英語(yǔ)主謂一致

高中英語(yǔ)主謂一致

一）主謂一致的種類

1．語(yǔ)法形式上的一致

主語(yǔ)為單數(shù)形式，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式；主語(yǔ)為復(fù)數(shù)形式，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如： The number of the students present is 200.Jane and Mary look alike.2．意義上一致

1）主語(yǔ)形式雖為單數(shù)，但意義為復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)。如：The crowd were shouting.單數(shù)形式代表復(fù)數(shù)內(nèi)容的詞有：people, police, cattle等。2）主語(yǔ)形式為復(fù)數(shù)，而意義上卻是單數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。如：The news was so surprising.形復(fù)意單的單詞有news和一些以ics結(jié)尾的學(xué)科名稱，如physics，politics, economics等。

3．就近原則

即謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)形式取決于最靠近它的詞語(yǔ)。如用連詞or，either…or, neither…not, not only…but also等連接的并列主語(yǔ)，如果一個(gè)是單數(shù)，一個(gè)是復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞與靠近它的主語(yǔ)一致。如：

Either your students or Mr.Wang knows this.（二）主謂一致的應(yīng)用 1．名詞作主語(yǔ)

1）某些集體名詞，如family, team等作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，如果作為一個(gè)整體看待，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式，如果就其中一個(gè)個(gè)成員而言，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：

His family is a happy one.The whole family are watching TV.這類名詞有：audience，class，club，company，crew，enemy，crowd，government，group，party，public，team等。

名詞population一詞的使用情況類似。“a group(crowd)of +復(fù)數(shù)名詞”等短語(yǔ)之后的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也同樣可用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)，前者強(qiáng)調(diào)整體，后者強(qiáng)調(diào)各個(gè)部分。

2）某些集體名詞，如people, police, cattle等，只當(dāng)復(fù)數(shù)看待，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞必須用復(fù)數(shù)。如： The police are searching for the thief.3）單、復(fù)數(shù)同形的名詞主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)根據(jù)意義決定單、復(fù)數(shù)。如： A sheep is over there.Some sheep are over there.4）名詞所有格之后的名詞被省略，這種情況一般只指商店、工廠、住宅等，作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，動(dòng)詞一般用單數(shù)。如：

The doctor’s is across the street.My uncle’s is not far from here.常見(jiàn)的省略名詞有：the baker’s, the barber’s, the carpenter’s, the Zhang’s等。

表示店鋪的名詞，一般作集體名詞看待，但用作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞往往用復(fù)數(shù)。如： Richardson’s have a lot of goods to sell.5）當(dāng)名詞詞組中心詞為表示度量、距離、金額、時(shí)間、書(shū)名等復(fù)數(shù)名詞時(shí)，往往可以根據(jù)意義一致的原則，把這些復(fù)數(shù)名詞看作一個(gè)整體，謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)形式。如：

Three years has passed since then.6）不定代詞each, every, no所修飾的名詞即使以and或逗號(hào)連接成多主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞仍用單數(shù)形式。如： Each boy and each girl wants to go to the cinema.7）如果主語(yǔ)有more than one…或many a…構(gòu)成，盡管從意義上看是復(fù)數(shù)內(nèi)容，但它的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞仍用單數(shù)形式。如：

More than one student has read the book.Many a girl has been there.但是，“more +復(fù)數(shù)名詞+than one”結(jié)構(gòu)之后，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般多用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如： More members than one are against your plan.8）一些有兩個(gè)部分構(gòu)成的名詞表示衣物或工具作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)形式，例如：glasses, clothes, trousers, shoes, compasses, chopsticks, scissors等。但如果主語(yǔ)用“a kind of, a pair of , a series of等加名詞”構(gòu)成時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般用單數(shù)形式。如：

A pair of shoes was on the desk.9）this kind of book =a book of this kind（這種書(shū)），其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)；短語(yǔ)this kind of men =men of this kind =these kind of men(口語(yǔ))（這一類人），但this kind of men的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)，men of this kind和these kind of men的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)，all kinds of后跟復(fù)數(shù)名詞，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：

This kind of men is dangerous.Men of this kind are dangerous.10）復(fù)數(shù)形式的單、復(fù)數(shù)同形名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，按意義一致原則，作用單數(shù)意義時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)，反之，謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)。這類名詞有：means（方法），works（工廠），species（種類），Chinese，Japanese等。如：

The(This)glass works was set up in 1980.(這家玻璃廠建于1980年。)The（These）glass works are near the railway station.（這些玻璃廠在火車站附近。）當(dāng)它們前面有a, such a , this, that修飾時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)；有all, such, these, those修飾時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)，但means, no means, the means等詞前沒(méi)有以上修飾詞時(shí)，可用作單數(shù)，也可用作復(fù)數(shù)。

11）如果名詞詞組中心詞是all，most, half, rest等詞語(yǔ)，所指的復(fù)數(shù)意義，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式；反之，用單數(shù)。如：

All of my classmates like music.All of the water is gone.12)在主謂倒裝的句子中，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數(shù)應(yīng)與其后的主語(yǔ)一致。如： Between the two windows hangs a picture.2．由連接詞連接的名詞作主語(yǔ)

1）用and或both…and連接并列主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如： Plastics and rubber never rot.Walking and riding are good exercises.但是，并列主語(yǔ)如果指的是同一個(gè)人、同一事物或同一概念時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式，這時(shí)and后面的名詞沒(méi)有冠詞。如：

Truth and honesty is the best policy.The girl’s teacher and friend is a young doctor.To love and to be loved is great happiness.Going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit.A knife and fork is on the table.2）當(dāng)主語(yǔ)后面跟有as well as, as much as, no less than, along with, with, like, rather than, together with, but, except, besides, including, in addition to等引導(dǎo)的詞組時(shí)，其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)而定。如：

The teacher as well as the students was reading in the library.３）以or, either…or, neither…nor, not only…but also等連接的名詞（代詞）作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復(fù)數(shù)應(yīng)根據(jù)就近一致的原則。如：

Tom or his brothers are waiting in the room.Either you or he is to go.3．代詞作主語(yǔ)

1）名詞性物主代詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，既可以用作單數(shù)，也可以用作復(fù)數(shù)，這取決于它所代替的是單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)。如：

Ours(Our Party)is a great party.Your shoes are black, and mine(=my shoes)are brown.2）such, the same起指示代詞作用時(shí)，應(yīng)根據(jù)其所指的內(nèi)容來(lái)決定單、復(fù)數(shù)。如： Such is our plan.Such are his words.3）關(guān)系代詞who, that, which等在定語(yǔ)從句中作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數(shù)應(yīng)與句中先行詞的數(shù)一致。如：

Those who want to go please put up your hands.Some of the energy that is used by man comes from the sun.4）疑問(wèn)代詞who, what, which作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞可根據(jù)說(shuō)話人所要表達(dá)的意思決定單、復(fù)數(shù)。如：

Who lives next door ? It is Xiao Liu.Who live next door ? It is Zhang and Liu.What produce(s)heat ?

5）不定代詞any, either, neither, none, all some, more等作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，有以下兩種情況：

單獨(dú)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，視其在文中的意義，動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)形式，例如： Now all has been changed.All are present.either, neither單獨(dú)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)通常用單數(shù)。

但后接of時(shí)，若of的賓語(yǔ)為不可數(shù)名詞，動(dòng)詞當(dāng)然用單數(shù)形式，若of的賓語(yǔ)為復(fù)數(shù)名詞或代詞時(shí)，動(dòng)詞可以是單數(shù)，也可以是復(fù)數(shù)，在正式文體中，單數(shù)形式的動(dòng)詞更常用。如：

Do(es)any of you know his address ? None of them has(have)seen the film.4．分?jǐn)?shù)、量詞作主語(yǔ)

1）“分?jǐn)?shù)或百分?jǐn)?shù)+名詞”構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)以及由“a lot of, lots of plenty of, a large quantity of, a heap of, heaps of, half of +名詞”構(gòu)成的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞要與短語(yǔ)中of后面的名詞的數(shù)保持一致，這是因?yàn)槎陶Z(yǔ)中后面的名詞是中心詞，而短語(yǔ)中前面的量詞是修飾語(yǔ)，例如：

Lots of damage was caused by fire.About three-fourths of the earth’s surface is covered with water.Three-fifths of the workers here are women.和這種情況類似的還有“a number of+名詞復(fù)數(shù)”，但是，“the number of +名詞”的中心詞卻是number, 試比較：

A number of students have gone home.The number of pages in this book is two hundred.注意：(large)quantities of修飾可數(shù)或不可數(shù)名詞，其短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般用復(fù)數(shù)，例如：

Quantities of food(nuts)were on the table.短語(yǔ)in quantity, in large quantities意為“大量”；in small quantities意為“少量”。2）a great deal of , a large amount of修飾不可數(shù)名詞，其短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用單數(shù)；large amounts of修飾不可數(shù)名詞，其短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)，例如：

A large amount of(A great deal of)damage was done in a very short time.Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge.3）表示數(shù)量的one and a half后，名詞要用復(fù)數(shù)形式，但是其短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式，例如：

One and a half bananas is left on the table.4）half of,(a)part of修飾可數(shù)名詞單數(shù)及不可數(shù)名詞時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)，修飾可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)。

5．名詞化的形容詞作主語(yǔ)

如果主語(yǔ)由“the+形容詞（或過(guò)去分詞）”結(jié)構(gòu)擔(dān)任時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)通常用復(fù)數(shù)，這類詞有：the brave, the poor, the rich, the blind, the young, the old, the sick, the dead, the deaf and dumb, the oppressed, the injured, the wounded, the unemployed等；但也有少數(shù)的過(guò)去分詞與定冠詞連用時(shí)指?jìng)€(gè)別，則用單數(shù)。如：

The blind study in special schools.The departed was a well-known engineer.這類形容詞或分詞如果要表示個(gè)體時(shí)，就要與名詞man, person或表示人的單數(shù)連和，如：an old man, a rich person, the(a)wounded soldier 6．從句作主語(yǔ)

1）由what引導(dǎo)的主語(yǔ)從句，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用單數(shù)，但所指的具體內(nèi)容是復(fù)數(shù)意義時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般用復(fù)數(shù)形式，例如：

What we need is more time.What we need are doctors.2）在“one of+復(fù)數(shù)名詞++who/that/which”引導(dǎo)的從句結(jié)構(gòu)中，關(guān)系代詞who/that/which的先行詞是靠近它的復(fù)數(shù)名詞而不是one，因此，從句中的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該是復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：

This is one of the most interesting stories that have been told.但是當(dāng)one之前有the only等修飾語(yǔ)時(shí)，關(guān)系代詞的先行詞是one，而不是靠近它的復(fù)數(shù)名詞，因此從句的動(dòng)詞應(yīng)是單數(shù)形式。如：

She was the only one of the girls who was late.
