一、主谓一致的基本原则
现代英语主谓一致大致要遵循以下三条原则:
1. 语法一致原则。主语是单数,谓语动词用单数形式;主语是复数,谓语动词用复数形式。例如:
Susan goes to work by bus every day. 苏珊每天坐公共汽车上班。
The boys are playing basketball there. 那些男孩在那边打篮球。
2. 意义一致原则。主语和谓语的一致不是由主语的语法形式来决定,而是由主语所表达的意义决定。例如:
The class are busying writing English passages. 班上同学在忙于写英语短文。
The United States is a developed country which has advanced science and technology. 美国是一个科技先进的发达国家。
3. 就近原则。谓语动词的单、复数取决于最靠近它的主语。由either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also连接或由here, there等引导的句子,谓语动词遵循这一原则。例如:
Neither my friends nor I was able to persuade him to accept our advice. 我的朋友们和我都不能说服他接受我们的意见。
Either he or she has broken the window, for there is no one else there. 不是他就是她打破了窗户,因为再没有别人。
There is a teacher and fifty students in the classroom. 教室里有一位老师和五十个同学。
二、相关知识点讲析
1. 并列结构作主语时的情况
并列结构作主语,谓语一般用复数,例如:
Reading and writing are very important. 读写很重要。
注意:当主语由and连接时,如果它表示一个单一的概念,即指同一人或同一物时,谓语动词用单数,and 此时连接的两个词前只有一个冠词。例如:
The iron and steel industry is very important to our life. 钢铁工业对我们的生活有重要意义。
2. 谓语动词与前面的主语一致的情况
当主语有with, together with, like, except, but, no less than, as well as 等词组成的短语时,谓语动词与前面的主语部分一致。例如:
The teacher together with some students is visiting the factory. 教师和一些学生在参观工厂。
He as well as I wants to go boating. 他和我想去划船。
3. 谓语动词常用单数的情况
(1)代词each以及由every, some, no, any等构成的复合代词作主语时,或主语中含有each, every时, 谓语需用单数。例如:
Each of us has a tape-recorder. 我们每人都有录音机。
There is something wrong with my watch. 我的表坏了。
(2)表示时间、距离、重量、体积、金钱的复数名词,作主语时作为整体来看待,谓语动词通常用单数。例如:
Five thousands dollars is quite a large sum of money to me. 5000美元对于我来说是一大笔钱。
Ten years has passed but he didn’t change at all. 10年过去了,但他一点都没变。
(3)“a portion of , a series of, a kind of, a body of, a species of, a pair of+名词”作主语时,其谓语动词一般用单数形式。
A series of accidents has occurred recently in America. 最近在美国发生了一系列的事故。
A pair of new glasses is quite expensive. 一副新眼镜是相当昂贵的。
(4)事件、机构、国名、作品等专有名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数。
The Arabian Night is a book known to lovers of English. 《天方夜谭》是英语爱好者熟悉的一本书。
The United Nations is an organization to defend world peace. 联合国是维护世界和平的机构。
4. 谓语动词常用复数的情况
(1)“the +形容词”作主语,在表示一类人或事物时,谓语动词用复数。
The poor are often looked down upon by the rich. 穷人经常被富人看不起。
The young have respect for the old in China. 在中国,年轻人尊重老年人。
(2)a number of, a lot of, any of, most of, the rest of, some of, none of, all of修饰复数名词时,谓语动词用复数。
Most of the teachers are responsible and knowledgeable. 大多数老师是负责任的并且知识丰富的。
A number of books have been published on the subject. 很多有关这个科目的书籍出版了。
None of the books attract me a lot. 所有这些书都吸引不了我。
注意:the number of表示“……的数量”,谓语动词用单数。
The number of foreign visitors to China has been increasing over the last several years. 近几年来,到中国来旅游的外国人的数量一直在增长。
5. 指代意义决定谓语的单复数
(1)代词what, which, who, none, some, any, more, most, all等词的单复数由其指代的词的单复数决定。例如:
All is right.一切顺利。
All are present.人都到齐了。
(2)集体名词作主语时,谓语的数要根据主语的意思来决定。如family, audience, crew, crowd, class, company, committee等词后,谓语动词用复数形式时强调这个集体中的各个成员,用单数时强调该集体的整体。例如:
His family isn’t very large. 他家成员不多。
His family are music lovers.他家个个都是音乐爱好者。
但集合名词people, police, cattle, poultry等在任何情况下都用复数形式。例如:
Are there any police around?附近有警察吗?
