英语主谓一致倒装练习题讨论
1.Seventy percent of water is clean.这里的单复数要看主语，water 不可数，所以单数。请问这么理解对吗？另外，表示百分之多少的时候，用单数percent？有没有用percents的情况，若有，在什么情况下？
1）分数表达方式：没有percents。
2）water（物质名词一般单数）复数用法：
1.表示江河湖海等的“水域”“水体”时，习惯上要用复数。如：
They will cross the waters tomorrow.他们明天要渡海。
The waters of the lake flow out over a large waterfall.这个湖的水流出后形成一个大瀑布。
This is where the waters of Amazon flow out into the sea.这就是亚马孙河入海的地方。
2. 表示某国的“近海”“海域”“领海”时，习惯上要用复数。如：
British territorial waters英国的海域
British waters were a “military area”.英国领海是“军事区”。
The number of fish in coastal waters has decreased.沿海鱼的数量已减少了。
The ship successfully underwent sea trials in coastal waters.那条船在近海水域试航成功。
3. 表示“矿泉水”“泉水”“喷泉水花”时，习惯上要用复数。如：
We drink table waters.我们喝瓶装矿泉水。
A great poem is a fountain forever overflowing with the waters of wisdom and delight.一首伟大的诗篇犹如一座喷泉，永远喷出智慧和欢乐的水花。注：take [drink] the waters为习语，指喝矿泉水治疗或到矿泉胜地疗养。如：
He went abroad to drink the waters他出国去进行矿泉治疗。
He is taking [drinking] the waters at Bath.他在巴斯进行矿泉治疗。
4. 表示“洪水”等大量的水时，习惯上要用复数。如：
The flood waters are going down.洪水渐退。
The dam was not strong enough to hold back the flood waters.水坝不太坚固，挡不住洪水。
5. 表示几条不同河流或海域的水，习惯上要用复数。如：
The waters of the two rivers mingled (together) to form one river.两条河汇合成一条。
6. 在某些固定表达中，习惯上用复数。如：
in smooth water(s)进展顺利，一帆风顺
pour oil on troubled waters平息风波，作和事佬，调停争端
fish in muddy waters趁火打劫，混水摸鱼
fish in troubled waters混水摸鱼
延伸water的其他用法
1. To hold water 站得住脚，说得通
按字面解释，To hold water当然可以说是“不让水漏出来”。但是，它还可以引申为指某人的论点、借口、理由站得住脚。美国人经常说："That excuse simply doesn't hold water." 意思是：那个借口根本站不住脚。
Several of his suggestions about changes in the government simply don't hold water.
他有关政府改革的意见中有几条根本说不通。
2. Like water off a duck's back 毫无意义
鸭子身上的毛就像雨衣一样，水在上面呆不住，一下全滑掉了。因此，like water off a duck's back指的就是某件事毫无意义，不起作用。
The doctors tell us it’s dangerous to smoke, but such good advice rolls off some people like water off a duck's back.
医生都告诉我们抽烟对身体是有害的。可是，这种合理的建议对于有些人来说就像耳边风一样，毫无作用。”
3. To make someone’s mouth water 让某人流口水
让某人嘴里流水自然就是让某人流口水的意思了。
The roast ducks that restaurant serves is my favorite dish. Every time I think about it, it makes my mouth water.
我最喜欢吃那个饭馆的烤鸭。每当我想起它我就会流口水。
2.More than one answer ________ to the question.
A．have been given B．has been given C．were given D．h ad given
解释：More than one 不止一个，很多
两个情况：
1）more than one (或more than one + 单数名词)，many a + 单数名词作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式。
2）more than后面是复数名词，则谓语动词要用复数。
more + 复名+ than one "接复数谓语。
More students than one have been there . 不止一个学生去过那儿。
3.Most of the mistakes ________ because of carelessness. A．were made B．are made C．has been made D．were making
解释：c和d是首先拍排除的。c mistakes是复数。 d 过去进行时
选择A是因为：句子虽然没有表示过去确定时间的状语，但实际上是指过去发生的动作或存在的状态。错误不是现在犯的，而是犯完了才知道是错的。
4、________of the money________ used up.
A．Three-five, are B．Three-fifths, have been
C．Three-fifths, has been D．Third-fifths, is
解释：考核分数表达用法选c
1) money 不可数
2）
5、The sheets for your bed ________ washing.
A．needs B．are needing C．want D．are wanting
解释：个人观点选need这个词，但A的形式不太对。排除法下来应该是C。
我不确定这道题。这个题需要问下助教陈老师。在群里，你找一下。
1）need：
The flowers need watering．这些花需要浇水。
Her room needs cleaning．她的房间需要打扫。
2）want：表示客观上的“需要”“有必要”，是一无意识行为，其后可接不定式或动名词，但要注意：后接动名词，该动名词要用主动形式表示被动意义；后接不定式，要用被动形式表示被动意义。
如：这些花草得天天浇水。
正：The plants want watering every day.
正：The plants want to be watered every day.
误：The plants want being watered every day.
误：The plants want to water every day.
6. The students in our school each ________ an English dictionary. A．have B．has C．had D．are having
解释：考核each同位语用法：真正主语
The students，each是同位语，遵循主
谓一致原则，所以要复数
例句：We each have a computer. 我们每人都有一台电脑
7. On each side of the street ________ a lot of trees.
A．stands B．grow C．is standing D．are grown
解释：倒装。地点状语On each side of the street提前，主语是a lot of trees，所以要用复数谓语，tree和grow是主动关系
主谓一致,倒装
一．主谓一致（指主语和谓语动词在…人称?和…数?方面的一致关系。）主谓一致遵循以下三条原则（形合，意合，就近） 1．形合（主单→谓单；主复→谓复） ★1．由and或both……and连接的并列成分作主语时，谓语动词用复数e.g. Both milk and coffee are on sale in Walmart supermarket. Ru Hua and Wang Xiaohu are a couple. ◆注：⑴and连接的并列主语如果指的是同一人、同一事物或同一概念(and 后无冠词)，谓语动词用单数。 e.g. The teacher and writer has come. Bread and butter is the breakfast of the western people. and所连接的表示同一概念的短语有：a horse and cart马车, a knife and fork刀叉, bread and butter涂有黄油的面包 ⑵由and连接的并列单数主语之前如果分别由each, every, no 修饰时，其谓语动词要用单数形式。 e.g. In our country every boy and every girl has the right to receive education. ★2. 用one, every one, each one, any one, each, either, neither 等+ of +复数名词/人称代词作主语时，谓语用单数。 e.g. Neither of his parents is a doctor. They are both teachers. Every one of the students is studying hard. ◆注：(1)“both of +复数名词/人称代词”作主语时，谓语用复数。Both of them are students. (2) none作主语时如果指人或可数的物，表数目，谓语动词用单复数形式皆可；如果指不可数名词，表量，谓语动词用单数。e.g. None of that money on the table is mine. None of us is/are interested in your new subject. (3)在定语从句中主语是关系代词who , that , which , 谓语动词的数应与先行词的数一致。 但在“one of +复数名词+ who/that/which”引导的定语从句中，从句谓语的单复数取决于one前是否有the （only）、the very。如果有，从句的谓语动词用单数，如没有the only就用复数形式。 He was one of the students who were late for school . ★3. each, either, neither, another, the other 和由some, any, no, every + thing/ one/ body构成的复合不定代词作主语时，谓语动词用单数。 e.g. There is something wrong with my computer. Everyone is ready for the big dinner. I have two sisters. One is a doctor, the other is a nurse. ◆注：each作同位语，谓语动词仍与主语一致。 They each have a book. ★4. 不定式/动名词（短语）作主语，谓语用单数。 e.g. Doing morning exercises is good for your health. To teach is to learn. 如果多个非谓语动词连在一起表达同一概念，谓语动词用单数形式；如果表达不同概念，谓语动词用复数。 e.g. To go to bed early and to rise early is a good habit. To work and to live are two different things but they are always together. ★5.all/most/ part /some/none/half/plenty/a lot/lots/the rest/分数/百分 数+of+ n. 等短语作主语时，谓语动词的单复数取决于of后面的名词的数。此名词可数，则谓语用复数；此名词不可数，则谓语用单数。All of the work has been finished. Part of the work has been done by us . Let?s eat the food fi rst. The rest is going to be given to them. ★6. 成双成套的词如glasses, shoes, trousers, chopsticks, scissors ，socks等作主语时，谓语动词用复数。 ◆注：如果这类名词前用了a pair /two pairs等修饰，则谓语与pair 的单复数一致。The shoes in the shop are beautiful. A pair of shoes was sold out this morning. ★7．由“a/this kind of, many kinds of”或…n. + of this kind?，以及由与kind 意义相似的type, sort 等词构成的类似短语作主语时，谓语与of前的名词保持一致。A kind of bird has been discovered by them.Machines of this kind are very useful. ★8. a number of后面加复数名词或代词，谓语用复数形式；但the number of后面加复数名词或代词时，其谓语用单数。 The number of the students in our school is over 20 thousand. A number of students are coming to our school to learn English. ★9. 倒装句中谓语单复数要看其后面的主语。 There comes the bus. Between the two buildings is a supermarket. ★10. 主语后面跟有with ，together with ，along with ，as well as ，but ,except, besides, like ，including, rather than, in addition to等引导的介词短语+其它名词时，谓语动词与前面的主语一致。 The women with two children is my aunt . Everyone here, including children and old people, is for the plan. Mary, along with her boyfriend, goes climbing every Sunday. 2．意合（主语表单数概念→谓语单数；主语表复数概念→谓语复数） ★1. 主语表事物的总称，若指有生命的集合体，如people, police, staff，cattle, crew等作主语时，谓语动词要用复数。The police are looking for the missing boy. 主语表事物的总称，若指无生命的集合体，如traffic, clothing, fruit, equipment等作主语时，谓语动词要用单数。 ★2. 复数形式、单数意义的名词作主语 (1)有些词形似复数，实为单数，其作主语时谓语用单数. 常见的有： 抽象名词news ，学科名词maths，physics ，politics，报纸、杂志名The New York Times,专有名词James, the United States等 The United States was founded in 1776. The New York Times sells well all over the United States . ◆但clothes, goods(货物), works(著作)，the Olympics等词或短语 作主语时，谓语用复数。 The Olympics are held every four years. (2) 表时间、距离、价格、度量衡等的名词或短语作主语时，应将 它们看作一整体，谓语用单数。Ten years is a long time. Five million dollars is a lot of money. ★3. “the +形容词”表一类人（如the poor ，the rich ，the young，the old ，the dead ，the sick，the brave 等）作主语，谓语用复数； 1

九年级英语主谓一致专项练习题及答案详解
九年级英语主谓一致专项练习题及答案详解 一、主谓一致 1．（题文）--Look! Mum, this pair of gloves worn out. I need a new pair. –OK! A．is B．are C．be D．were 【答案】A 【解析】 试题分析: 句意：---看，妈妈，这双手套坏了。我需要一双新的。---好的。此题是this pair of做主语，应用单三，故选A。 考点：考查主谓一致。 2．In our class _____ of the students _____ girls. A．third fifths; is B．third fifth; are C．three fifth; is D．three fifths; are 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】 句意：我们班五分之三的学生是女孩。 在英语中表示分数，分子要用基数词，分母用序数词，当分子大于一时，分母用复数形式。五分之三应该是three fifths;另外，分数+名词复数作主语的时候，后面的谓语动词应该用复数。所以选D。 3．---______ is the population of the town? ---Over 20,000.

九年级英语总复习(十三)主谓一致和倒装句
(十三)主谓一致和倒装句 主谓一致是初中阶段的重要语法项目之一，经常出现在近几年的中考试卷中。考查重点是主谓一致：语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近一致原则，其中语法一致原则和就近一致原则是历年的考查热点。从命题形式来看，主要以单项选择为主，在完形填空、句型转换和翻译句子中有时也会涉及此考点。预计2016年主要考查主谓一致的基本用法，there be句型是考查的重点；倒装句主要考查so与neither引导的倒装句。 主谓一致是指谓语动词与主语在人称和数上保持一致。主谓一致必须遵循三个原则，即语法一致原则、意义一致原则、就近一致原则。 语法一致原则是指主语和谓语在语法形式上保持一致，即主语是单数形式，谓语动词用单数形式，主语是复数形式，谓语也用复数形式。意义一致原则是主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致，即主语形式上为单数，但意义为复数，则谓语动词用复数形式；若主语形式上为复数，但表示单数意义，则谓语动词用单数形式。就近一
致原则也叫邻近原则，是指谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的主语。 ①语法一致原则 使用情况例句“不可数名词、可数名词单数、单数代词、 不定式(短语)、动名词(短语)、从句”等用作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。The girl is fond of singing. To protect the environment is our duty. Reading in the sun is bad for our eyes. 表示复数的名词、代词作主语，谓语动词用复数形式。The students are having their math class. They have been to Qingdao twice. and连接主语时，如果该并列主语指的是两个或两个以上的人或事物，谓语动词用复数形Eating vegetables and doing exercise are good for our health. The writer and teacher is coming. The writer and the teacher are coming.
复习专题 倒装句专项练习和答案
复习专题倒装句专项练习和答案 一、倒装句 1．— I have never visited a paper factory. — . A. So have I B. I haven't now C. Neither have I 【答案】 C 【解析】【分析】句意:-我从来没有参观过造纸厂。-我也没去过。根据句意可知这里表示的是否定的意思，故Ａ可以先排除，因为so 的这个倒装的用法只能用在肯定句中，表示上面所说的情况也适用于另外一人。在否定句应该用neither，当neither 位于句首时，应该用倒装的结构。故选C。 【点评】考查倒装。 2．一 I didn't watch the football match on TV yesterday. 一 . I got home too late to watch it. A. So did I B. Neither did I C. So I did D. Neither I did 【答案】 B 【解析】【分析】neither/nor+助动词+主语，译为“某人（物）也不……”，如果上句是否定句，那么下句就是也不是这种情况；so+助动词+主语，意为“某人（物）也是……”如果上句是肯定句，那么下句就是也是这种情况。用于这种结构的主语是不同的人，如果是上下的两句的主语是同一个人，则用半倒装结构，so+主语+助动词，表示“某人的确是这样”。句意：—我没看昨天的聊天节目，—我也没看，我到家太晚而没有看。结合句意，故选B。 3．If you go to his party tomorrow, A. won't, neither do I B. don't, neither will I C. don't, neither do I D. /, so do I 【答案】 B 【解析】【分析】句意：如果你明天不参加他的聚会，我也不去。分析：考查if引导的条件状语从句，通过时间状语tomorrow体现时间将来时，因此从句用一般现在时，主语是第二人称用do; 我也不去，为主句，同时前句为否定形式，因此用neither.故选 B 【点评】考查if条件状语从句应使用主将从现。 4．My sister went to the cinema, and _________________. A. so did I B. so have I C. neither did I D. neither have I 【答案】 A 【解析】【分析】句意：我姐姐去看电影了，我也是。went是一般过去时，助动词是did，故排除B和D选项，省略句，so+助动词+主语，用于肯定句，……也是，neither+助动

英语语法主谓一致 指的是谓语动词在人称和数上必须与主语保持一致。处理主谓一致问题，可依据三项原则：语法上一致、意义上一致和就近一致。根据这些原则，总结如下： 一.谓语动词用单数 (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，谓语动词一般要用单数动词。 例如：To work hard is necessary.努力工作是必要的。 Reading without comprehension is no good.只读不理解是不好的。 It pays to work hard. 天道酬勤。 (2)事件、国家、机构名称、书刊及其他作品的名称(专有名词)用作主语时，谓语动词用单数。例如：The United States was formed in 1776.美国于1776年成立。 The New York Times still has a wide circulation.纽约时报发行量仍然很大。 Roots is a novel about a black family.《根》是一部关于(美国)黑人家庭的小说。 (3)表示时间、距离、金额、重量、面积、体积、容积等度量的名词短语做主语时，谓语用单数。 例如：Two weeks was too long.两周太长了。 Ten dollars is a small sum.十美元是个小数目。 Five times five makes twenty five.五乘以五是二十五。 One and a half bananas is left on the table.一只半香蕉留在桌子上。 4)表示学科和某些疾病名称的名词是复数形式，作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。 例如：Linguistics is a branch of study on human language.语言学是人类语言中的一个分枝。(5)有些名词形式是复数，意义为单数，作主语时，要求单数动词。 例如：The chaos was stopped by the police.混乱被警察阻止了。 The news is a great encouragement to us.这新闻对我们来说是一个很大的鼓舞。 Her present whereabouts is still unknown.她目前的行踪仍然不明。 (6)主语是单数时，尽管后面跟as well as (以及)，no less than (不少于……，多达)，rather than(而不是)，more than(不止是，超过)，but(除了)，except(除……外)，besides( 加之，还有)，with(和……一起，和……一块儿)，along with(跟……一起)，accompanied by ( 由……陪同)，combined with(加上)，in addition to(除……以外)，including(包括)，together with(与……一起)等，谓语动词仍用单数形式。 (7)某些不定代词，如：either,neither,each,one,other,another,anybody,anyone, anything,somebody,someone,something,everybody,everyone,everything,nobody,no one,nothing 等，当他们作主语时，其谓语动词通常用单数形式。 例如：Each of the boys has an apple.每个孩子都有苹果。 Somebody is using the phone.有人正在用电话。 Everything around us is matter.我们周围一切都是物质。 但是口语中当either或neither后+of+复数名词(或代词)作定语时，其谓语动词也可用复数。例如：Is (Are)either of the boys ready?两个男孩都准备好了吗? Neither of the novels is (are)interesting.哪一本小说都没意思。 (8)集合名词作主语表示整体概念时，动词用单数谓语形式。 例如：The government is made up of senior members of the four main right wing parties. 这届政府由四个主要右翼党的高级官员组成。 His family is not very large.他的家庭并不太大。 The staff of our school is opposed to the drastic changes in the system of education.
