主謂一致用法詳解及練習題附答案
．主謂一致
主謂一致是指一個句子的主語和謂語動詞保持數(shù)的一致關(guān)系。英語主謂一致一般要遵循三條原則，即：語法一致原則；意義一致原則和就近原則。
1.語法一致原則
語法一致原則是指謂語動詞和它的主語在語法形式上必須取得一致，即主語是單數(shù)形式，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式，主語為復(fù)數(shù)形式，謂語動詞也用復(fù)數(shù)形式，如：
Tom doesn’t like swimming. 湯姆不喜歡游泳。
Jane and Mary look alike. 簡和瑪麗看起來很像。
意義一致原則是指謂語動詞和主語的一致，同由主語所表達的單數(shù)概念來決定，而不是根據(jù)主語的實際語法形式。有時主語的語法形式是單數(shù)，但所表達的概念是復(fù)數(shù)意義，這時動詞應(yīng)采用復(fù)數(shù)形式，如：
The football team are having breakfast now. 足球隊員們在吃早飯。
The news was exciting. 這條消息令人振奮。
3.就近原則
就近原則指謂語動詞的人稱和數(shù)要在形式上與最靠近它的那個名詞或代詞取得一致。當一個句子有兩個主語而它們又是either...or…, neither…nor…, not only…but also…, or 等連接時，謂語動詞與靠近它的主語保持一致，如：
Either your students or Mr Wang knows this. 你的學生們或王老師知道這件事。
Neither Jim nor his friends were interested in this film. 湯姆和他的朋友們都對這部電影不感興趣。
主謂一致這三個原則中有很多需要注意的問題，
1.主語為集體名詞
(1)某些集體名詞既可表示單數(shù)也可表示復(fù)數(shù)。如果集體名詞作為一個整體看待，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式，如果就其中一個成員而言，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式，如：
Our group were discussing heatedly on the subject. 我們小組成員正對這個問題進行熱烈的討論。（group 指小組成員） Our group is made up of four girls and five boys. 我們小組有4個女孩和5個男孩組成。（group 指小組整體）
The population in China is very large, and one third of the population are farmers.
中國的人口很多，其中三分之一是農(nóng)民。（前一個population 指整體，后一個population 指成員）
(2)某些集體名詞如people, police, cattle, youth 等常作復(fù)數(shù)看待，謂語動詞與復(fù)數(shù)形式的`謂語搭配，如：
The police are searching for him. 警察正在搜尋他。
The cattle were driven away from the hill. 那些牲畜從山上被趕走了。
3.某些名詞如equipment（設(shè)備），furniture（家具），jewelry（珠寶），clothing（衣服），machinery（機械），表示單數(shù)概念，謂語動詞要相應(yīng)地采用單數(shù)形式,如：
A lot of equipment has been replaced by the new equipment. 許多舊設(shè)備已經(jīng)被新設(shè)備代替了。
All the machinery in the factory was controlled by robots. 這個廠所有的機械都由機器人來控制的。
2.主語為代詞
(1)．有些代詞盡管意義上是多數(shù)，但謂語動詞要用單數(shù)形式，這類代詞有：either, neither, each, another, somebody, someone, something, anything, anyone, everyone, everything, everybody, no one, nothing, nobody 等，如：
Neither likes the friends of the other. 兩人都不喜歡對方的朋友。
Everything around us is matter. 我們周圍所有的東西都是物質(zhì)。
注意：
① 在neither of 與either of 的結(jié)構(gòu)中，謂語動詞可用單數(shù)形式也可用復(fù)數(shù)形式，如：
Neither of them was / were in good health, but both worked hard.
他們倆身體都不好，但工作卻都很努力。
② each 用于單數(shù)名詞前，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式, each 用于復(fù)數(shù)主語后，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。each of, each one of 后接復(fù)數(shù)名詞或代詞，但謂語動詞常用單數(shù)形式。
Each (one) of the houses was different. 每座房子都不同。
Each student has been given their own e-mail address. 每個學生都得到了一個自己的電子郵件地址。
They each have their own car.他們每個人都有自己的車。
(2).none 作主語時，謂語動詞既可用單數(shù)也可用復(fù)數(shù)，這要取決于說話人的看法，如：
None of us seem to have thought of it. 似乎我們?nèi)紱]有想到這一點。
None of us has got a camera. (None = Not a single one)我們都沒有照相機。
(3).both, (a) few, many, several 作主語時，謂語動詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)形式，如：
Both (of) the instruments are not precise ones. 這兩種儀器并不都是精密儀器。
(4).all 作主語表示人時，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)；表示物時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)，如：
All is well that ends well. 結(jié)果好一切都好。
All are eager to reach an agreement. 大家都急于達成一項協(xié)議。
(5).either…or…; neither…or; not only; but also; or 連接時謂語通常和最鄰近的主語保持一致，如：
Not only Mary but also her parents have agreed to go there. 不但瑪麗而且她的父母都同意去那兒。
He or they are to blame ?他還是他們要受懲罰？
主謂一致中還有其它一些問題也是高考�？嫉臒狳c，下面補充一下這些語法項目。
1.“a number of +復(fù)數(shù)名詞或代詞”作主語，表示“許多”之意，謂語動詞一般用復(fù)數(shù)；“the number of +復(fù)數(shù)名詞或代詞”作主語，表示“……的數(shù)目”，“……的數(shù)量”，謂語動詞一般用單數(shù), 如：
The number of people invited was fifty, but a number of them were absent for different reasons.
被邀請的人數(shù)是50人，但很多人因各自不同的原因沒有到席。
2.“分數(shù)或百分數(shù)+of +名詞”作主語，謂語動詞要與of后面的名詞保持一致，如：
More than 70 percent of the earth’s surface is covered by water. 地球表面70％的地方被水覆蓋。
3。.主語后面跟有with, together with, but, along with, like, except, besides, including, in addition to, rather than, as much as, as well as, no less than 等短語時，謂語動詞通常和這些短語前面的名詞或代詞保持一致，如：
E-mail, as well as telephones, is playing an important part in daily communication.
電子郵件及電話在日常交往中起著重要的作用。
4.表示數(shù)量、距離、金錢、時間、書名等的復(fù)數(shù)名詞作主語時，通常當作整體看待，謂語動詞用單數(shù)，如：
There thousand dollars has been spent on books. 這本書花了3000美元。
Ten kilometers is a long way. 一萬里是一段很長的行程。
5.由and 連接并列名詞短語作主語時，如果是指兩個或更多個人或物，謂語動詞要用復(fù)數(shù)；如果是指同一人或物，謂語動詞要用單數(shù)。這時，and 后面的名詞前沒有冠詞，如：
The singer and dancer is to attend our English party. 這位既是歌唱家又是演員的人將參加我們的英語晚會。
6.不定式短語，-ing 短語或從句作主語時，謂語動詞通常用單數(shù)，如：
When and where to build the new factory is not decided yet.什么時間，什么地方建這個新工廠還沒有決定。
7.“the +形容詞”表示一類人，如the old, the young, the rich, the poor, the black, the white, the dead, the living 等，當它們用作主語時謂語動詞要用復(fù)數(shù)，如：
The old are well looked after by the government. 老年人受到政府極好的照顧。
8.在“one of the +復(fù)數(shù)名詞+定語從句”結(jié)構(gòu)中，復(fù)數(shù)名詞是先行詞，定語從句的謂語動詞要用復(fù)數(shù)，但當one 前有the only, the very 等修飾時，one 是先行詞，定語從句的謂語動詞要用單數(shù)，如：
He is the only one of the students who has been a winner of scholarship for three years.
他是唯一一個連續(xù)三年獲得獎學金的人。
She is one of the few girls who are well paid in the kindergarten. 她是在幼兒園薪水很高少數(shù)幾個女孩中的一個。
9.Quantity + of +名詞用作主語，謂語動詞和quantity 保持一致，如：
As a result of destroying the forests, quantities of desert have covered the land.
由于森林受到了破壞，大量的沙漠覆蓋了土地。
10. “more than one ＋名詞”作主語時，謂語動詞常用單數(shù):More than one teachers gets the dictionaries.
“many a ＋名詞”作主語時，從意義上看是復(fù)數(shù)，但謂語動詞常用單數(shù)：Many a workers has been sent to build the dam．
