英语中易错语法
1.Even if you disagree with her, she's worth _ listening to
be worth之后要选动名词listening to，意为“……（她的意见）值得听取。”注意worth, worthy， worth while的用法：
worth : (1) worth+名词（表示钱、价值、代价的名词）。如：The instrumentis worth 10000yuan.
(2) worth+动名词（主动形式表被动意义）。如：Her methd is worth trying.
worthy : (1) worthy of+动名词（被动形式）。如：The book is worthy of being read.
(2) worthy+不定式（被动形式）。如：The book is worthy to be read.
(3) wrothy of＋名词(praise, the name等。)如：We shall prove worthy of the Party's trust.
worthwhile:可单独作定语或表语，作表语 时可分开写。
如：It is a worthwhile book. 或：It isn't worth (your) while to go (going) there.（那地方不值得你去。）
2. 当一个句子有两个主语，而它们又是由either…or或neither…nor连接起来时，谓语通常和最邻近的主语一致。
如：Neither Bill nor his parents are at home. Either you or Lao Yang is to do the work.（不是你就是老杨来做这项工作。）
3.Nearly half of the ancient meteor craters have been found in central and eastern Canada.
考查主谓一致。在“half of＋名词”的结构中，名词是复数，谓语用复数形式；名词是不可数的，谓语则用单数形式。
`1
有类似用法的词还有all, most, the rest, the remaider, lots of, heaps of, loadsof, scads of, enough of等。
如：(1) When enough of the tree is chopped away, the tree falls.
(2) Enough of the data have been collected.
4.None of these assignments ___have been__ graded by the professor.
考查主谓一致。none作 语时，of后的名词是复数，一般谓语则用复数；of后的名词是单数，谓语则常用单数
如：None of the blame was your brother's.
5.the cause and effect指同一概念或事物，谓语多用单数。如：The number and diversity of British newspaper is considerable.
6.Every member of that vast crowd of 50000 people was_____ pleased to see him
7.In the room _was found____ a big table and a great many chairs.
考查主谓一致。根据谓语动词的形式与邻近名词一致的原则，选单数was found。如：Here is a pen, a few envelops and some paper for you.
（这儿有一支笔，几个信封和一些纸给你。）Where is your wife and children to stay while you are away?
（你不在这儿的时候，你爱人的孩子在哪儿待着呢？
8.The greater part of your mistakes __were made___ through carelessness.
考查主谓一致。在“the great part of＋名词”结构中，中心名词的数决定着谓语动词的单复数形式。
句中的中心名词是复数mistakes，所以选were made；
9.The majority of
the group _are____ for the proposal, and _they____ insist on __their___ right.
考查主谓一致。the majority作主语时，谓语用单复数皆可，但要视情况而定，若重心放在“成员”用复数；
重心放在“整体”则用单数。用法类同于the family, the committee, the enemy, the police, the public, the staff等
10.。当主语是由“many a, more than one, a great deal of+名词”构成时，谓语用单数。如：More than one case has been noted.
但在“a great many, a great nmber of＋名词复数”的结构中，谓语
则用复数。
11.the number of＋名词（复数）”结构，谓语多用单数。如：The number of stamp-collectors is growing apace，
而“a number of＋名词（复数）”的结构中谓语则多用复数。如：A number of people were injured.
12. His knowledge of language and international relations __ helps___ him greatly in his work.
考查主谓一致。虽用and连接两个名词，但指同一概念，即同一个主语，谓语常用单数。如：Time and tide waits for no man.
13..Alfred no less than all of you __is___ worthy of praise.
考查主谓一致。当主语后面跟有由no less than, as well as, as much as, rather than, more than,with, along with, together with, except等引
导 的词组时，谓语的单复数形式以主语而定。如：(1)
The pilot as well as two of the passengers has miraculously escaped death. (2) No one
except two servants was late for the dinner.
14.A series of stamps often _ makes ____ the little boy happy.
考查主谓一致。“a series of＋名词（复数）”，意为“一套……”，谓语常用单数。类似的词组还有
“a pair of, a group of, a portion of, a kind of＋名词”，其谓语动词一般根据语法原则用单数形式。
15.He said that London is a great city.
考查时态。尽管主句中有said，但“伦敦是座大城市”，表示一种客观的真实的情况，故用一般现在时is。
16.When noon arrives, _it is estimated that we'll have shot____ at least ten birds.
考查时态。A)项是一般现在时，与“打了至少10只鸟 B)项中的“might＋现在完成时”，通常用于对过去情况的推测。
如：You might have read the book before you saw the film
. D)项为结构错误；C)项中除了estimated表示推测外，用了将来完成时will have shot，故为正确答案。
17.Eric had thought the plane _ would have left____ by the time he arrived.
考查时态。主句的谓语had thought（原以为）发生时，the plane的left动作还没发生，先确定要用would；再看by the time he arrived，“by＋时间
常用于完成时态，这样就明确应该选would have left。
18.I will come with you, but wait until I __have written ___ this letter
.
考查时态。根据句意，要wait至写完信才走，所
以应选have written。
19.Automobiles __ have constantly been improved___ by new inventions.
考查时态和语态。首先判断automobiles与improve之间的关系是被动的，合乎被动结构要求的只有A)
、B)两项；其次再看选项中的constantly（一直不断地），故选B)。句意是“汽车由于新的发明而不断更新。”
20.Whether you're still in school or you head up a company, the better_____ command youhave of words, ___ the better__ chance you have
of getting what you want in the world.
考查形容词或副词比较级的强调形式。其形式为“the+形容词（副词）比较级……”。“the＋形容词（副词）比较级……”结构表示“越……越……”。
如：Actually, the busier he is, the happier he
feels.（事实上，他越忙越高兴。）
21.A rainbow cannot be seen at noon, __ when___ the sun is high in the sky.
解释:
考查状语从句。A)和B)项作定语从句的引导词，可排除；while和when的区别是：前者是during the
time，后者是at he time，根据句意，故应选when
22. Psychologists believe that the most important cause of normal forgetting is the effect of new mental activity on what was
previously learned.
考查名词性从句。此句是“主语＋宾语从句”结构，宾语从句的主语是the most important cause，表语是the effect。effect 意为“对……的影响”，常
与介词on搭配，在介词on之后跟一个名词从句，what作名词怀从句的主语。全句意思是“心理学家认为正常遗忘的一个重要原因是大脑新的活动对过去
所学的东西造成了影响。”
23..My lawyer succeeded in getting the expenses of the case __ awarded___ against the police.
考查分词的用法。句中the expenses与award为逻辑上的动宾关系，故应选过去分词；award意为“判与，判给”，
如：The judge awarded a large sum of morey to those hurt by the explosion
24.As for this weekend, let's go dancing for a change, shall we
考查反意疑问句。Let's…的祈使句，反意部分用shall we；而以动词开头的祈使句则用will you。如：
Have a little more coffee, will you? Let's meet at the station, shall we?这种祈使句反意部分不套用前肯定后否定、前否定后肯定的公式。
25.The competition from experienced staff members, some of whom are higher in rank, _ works____ to my disadvantage.
考查主谓语一致。主语是the competition，谓语用单数works；A)、C)为语法错误；D)与定语从句中的are所表示的时间不符，也应排除。
