quantity主谓一致

a quantity of/quantities of主谓一致问题主谓一致是高中英语考试的重要考点之一,其中不乏难题,尤其是带有限定词的名词短语作主语时,最难选择谓语的单复数形式。

例如,“a quantity of +名词”作主语时,谓语是用单数还是用复数就让广大考生困惑不已,因为目前的教辅读物中众说纷纭,矛盾重重,让人莫衷一是,到底是用单数还是用复数呢?且看下文:问题篇:下述几例选自学生中很有市场的几种教辅读物,他们的结论让学生误入歧途:1.《高中专项无敌---语法》(新疆青少年出版社---王建村)(P74)a large quantity of 不管后面跟可数名词还是不可数名词,都要用单数动词,比较:Large quantities of money have been sent there.A large quantity of books has been offered to us.2.《各个击破丛书(高中英语专项)---语法》(延边人民出版社---王建军)(数词与主谓一致p24)A (large) quantity of 修饰可数或不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数。

例如:A large quantity of people is needed here.(large) quantities of修饰可数或不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词用复数。

例如:Quantities of food (nuts) were on the table.专家观点:1.徐广联在《大学英语语法讲座与测试》(华东理工大学出版社)中表示,a quantity of 只能修饰不可数名词,谓语动词用单数。

A quantity of 间或也可以修饰可数名词,例如,A quantity of baskets were on sale.2.张怀信在《英语高考活用图解辞典》(延边大学出版社)中讲到,a large/small quantity of 大量的/ 少量的(可以修饰可数名词或不可数名词),例如,I need a large quantity of oil (apples). quantities of 大批的,大量的,例如,Large quantities of polluted water are flowing into the sea. 该书所附〈语法祥解篇--- 主谓一致〉还明确指出“在以上(a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large quantity of + 名词)的词组后面的名词是中心词,谓语动词根据后面的名词的数而定”。

quantity做主语,谓语单复数

quantity做主语,谓语单复数

很多语法书上都认为,quantity修饰名词时,谓语动词不是根据名词判断,而是看quantity 的形式,如果是a quantity of,动词就用第三人称单数,如果是quantities of,动词就用复数形式。

但是也有另外一种说法,就是quantity的主谓一致分三种情况:the quantity of 后面用单数a quantity of 后面的动词根据名词的单复数判断quantities of 后面的动词用复数。

a large quantity of 后接单数还是复数动词要根据前面的名词作判断---这一点比较统一the quantity of 不管后面是名词的复数形式还是不可数名词,都把主语当成一个主体,后接动词单数形式,这也是比较统一的认识。

但quantities of 后接动词的单数还是复数形式,不同语法书就有不同的认识。

有的认为不管怎样都用复数形式,有的认为quantities of +不可数名词+单数动词+ 复数名词+复数动词所以不好形式统一的认识。

但是赞成都用复数的人比较多。

高考英语语法主谓一致专题讲解练习含答案

高考英语语法主谓一致专题讲解练习含答案

在英语句子里,谓语受主语支配,其动词在人称和数上必须和主语保持一致,这就叫主谓一致。

主谓一致大致可归纳为三个原则,即语法一致、逻辑意义一致和就近一致。

语法一致原则语法一致就是谓语动词和主语在单、复数形式上保持一致。

1.单数名词、代词、动词不定式(短语)、动名词(短语)或主语从句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式;主语为复数时,谓语动词用复数形式。

►To study French well is not easy.学好法语不容易。

►What he said is very important for us all.他说的话对我们大家很重要。

【注意】由what引导的主语从句,后面的谓语动词多数情况用单数形式;但若表语是复数或what从句是一个带有复数意义的并列结构时,主句的谓语动词用复数形式。

►What I bought were three Chinese books.我买的是三本中文书。

►What I say and do are helpful to you.我所说的、所做的都对你有帮助。

2.由连接词and或both...and...连接起来的合成主语后面,谓语动词要用复数形式。

►Both she and he are middle school students.他和她都是中学生。

【注意】(1)若and所连接的两个词是指同一个人或事(物)时,主语后面的谓语动词就应用单数形式。

►The writer and artist has come.那个兼有作家和艺术家双重身份的人来了。

►To go to bed early and to rise early is a good habit.早睡早起是个好习惯。

(2)由and连接的并列单数主语前如果有no, each, every, more than a(an), many a(an)修饰时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。

►No boy and no girl likes it.男孩和女孩没有一个喜欢这个的。

与of有关的短语作主语的主谓一致

与of有关的短语作主语的主谓一致

与of有关的短语作主语时的主谓一致1.“all/most/half/plenty/enough/some/the rest/the remainder等+ of”作主语的主谓一致:如果of后面的部分为复数形式,作主语时谓语动词用复数;如果of后面所接名词为单数,谓语动词用单数。

e.g. Half of the students are boys.The rest of the lecture is dull.The rest of the bicycles are on sale today.注意:上面这些词可以单独做主语,如果所指代意义为复数,谓语动词用复数形式,如果所指为单数意义,谓语动词用单数形式。

e.g. All is ready for the reception.All are eager to reach an agreement.2.“a lot/mass/heap… + of +名词”短语作主语时的主谓一致:如果of后面所接名词为复数形式,谓语动词就用复数形式;反之,谓语动词则用单数形式。

(the mass of的用法也一样)e.g. A heap of difficulties were pressing him.Amass of information has been revealed.A mass of books are arranged in the bookshelves.Lots of people were present at the meeting.The mass of the people in the country are foreigners.3.“none/neither/either of…”构成的短语作主语的主谓一致:(1)none of 后接可数名词,作主语时,谓语动词用单复数都可以;若接的是不可数名词,就用单数形式;e.g. None of us have/has ever been abroad.None of the money was paid to me.(2) neither/either of…构成的短语作主语,谓语动词通常用单数形式,但在口语中也可视为复数。

2020届高考英语(人教版)必修四课堂要点精析讲义Unit 1 Section Ⅲ Grammar—主谓一致含答案

Section_ⅢGrammar—_主谓一致语法图解探究发现①Following Jane’s way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest.②Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day.③Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off.④Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right.⑤Ten hours has passed since I came here.[我的发现](1)句①中group强调成员,故其后谓语动词用复数形式;句③中的family和句④中的group强调整体,故其后谓语动词用单数形式。

(2)句②中的主语为动名词短语,故其谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。

(3)表示时间、距离、金额、度量衡等名词作主语时,常表示一个整体概念,谓语动词用单数形式,如句⑤。

谓语动词与主语必须在人称和数上保持一致,这叫主谓一致。

主谓一致的应用主要有以下几种情况:一、名词作主语主语谓语动词可数名词单数或不可数名词单数可数名词复数复数只表示复数意义的集体名词people, police, cattle等复数family, class, group, team类集体名词强调整体单数强调成员复数只作不可数名词用的集体名词clothing, equipment,furniture, jewellery等单数单复数同形的名词means, sheep, works, deer, fish等根据其表达的单复数意义而定The public was kept in the dark about the matter.关于这件事情公众被蒙在鼓里。

quantity of与quanties of

quantity of与quanties of
不过,网上语料库可以帮忙。
在CORPUS OF CONTEMPORARY AMERICAN ENGLISH中,找到下面的例句:
His head is entirely covered with a trap or basket used to catch fish called " ocengo " which is in the form of a cone and in which a quantity of small pieces of wood that light easily are placed.
语出:Old serpent Nile. A journey to the source. Stewart, Stanley. London: John Murray (Pubs) Ltd, 1991, pp. 3-120. 2831 s-units.
证明我的推测是正确的。
另外,上述语料库中没有找到quantities of 后用单数动词的例句。
老师,你好!关于quantity的主谓一致,我有些疑惑。我查到有两种观点:
1、与词形保持一致
a quantity of /quantities of 不管后面接复数还是单数(包括不可数)名词,只看quantity 本身。即:a quantity of 中的quantity 是单数,谓语动词就用单数;quantities of 中quantities 是复数,谓语动词则与复数保持一致。
更多例句:
Small quantities of poison were detected in the dead man's stomach.
(海词在线)
所以,你看到的第一个观点可信度更高。但我不能排除"A quantity of books have ..."这样的可能性,虽然词典上暂未找到类似例句。

a quantity of/quantities of主谓一致问题
主谓一致是高中英语考试的重要考点之一,其中不乏难题,尤其是带有限定词的名词短语作主语时,最难选择谓语的单复数形式。

例如,“a quantity of +名词”作主语时,谓语是用单数还是用复数就让广大考生困惑不已,因为目前的教辅读物中众说纷纭,矛盾重重,让人莫衷一是,到底是用单数还是用复数呢?且看下文:
问题篇:
下述几例选自学生中很有市场的几种教辅读物,他们的结论让学生误入歧途:
1.《高中专项无敌---语法》(新疆青少年出版社---王建村)
(P74) a large quantity of 不管后面跟可数名词还是不可数名词,都要用单数动词,比较:
Large quantities of money have been sent there.
A large quantity of books has been offered to us.
2.《各个击破丛书(高中英语专项)---语法》(延边人民出版社---王建军)
(数词与主谓一致p24)
A (large) quantity of 修饰可数或不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数。

例如:A large quantity of people is needed here.
(large) quantities of修饰可数或不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词用复数。

例如:Quantities of food (nuts) were on the table.
专家观点:
1.徐广联在《大学英语语法讲座与测试》(华东理工大学出版社)中表示, a quantity of 只能修饰不可数名词,谓语动词用单数。

A quantity of 间或也可以修饰可数名词,例如, A quantity of baskets were on sale.
2.张怀信在《英语高考活用图解辞典》(延边大学出版社)中讲到, a large/small quantity of 大量的 / 少量的(可以修饰可数名词或不可数名词),例如, I need a large quantity of oil (apples). quantities of 大批的,大量的,例如, Large quantities of polluted water are flowing into the sea. 该书所附〈语法祥解篇 --- 主谓一致〉还明确指出“在以上( a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large quantity of + 名词)的词组后面的名词是中心词,谓语动词根据后面的名词的数而定”。

3.顾南华在《中高级英语考试指南》(华中工学院出版社)中说, a quantity of, quantities of 可跟可数名词与不可数名词 , 并举有三例: There is a large quantity of milk. Great quantities of fish are caught on the high sea. Large quantities of water are needed for cooling purposes. 在 452 页讲到“ a quantity of + 不可数名词”,谓语只用单数,“ quantities of + 可数与不可数名词”,谓语要用复数。

4.章振邦在《新编英语语法》(上海译文出版社) 212 页中讲到, a quantity of 既可用于复数可数名词,也可用于不可数名词。

例如 , A large quantity of flowers were heaped on the martyr’s tomb. A
large quantity of beer was consumed. Quantities of food were on the table.
5.刘锐诚在《学生使用英语高考必备》(中国青年出版社)中认为, a quantity of + 名词 [C,U][+ 单或复数动词 ] , quantities of + 名词 [C,U] [+ 复数动词 ] 。

6.张鑫友在《英语语法难题新探(句法篇)》(中国地质大学出版社)529 页中说,在…a large quantity of… 等短语后既可接复数可数名词,亦可接不可数名词。

在它们分别和其后的名词构成短语作主语时,其谓语动词通常跟 of 后名词的具体情况而采用单数或复数形式。

综上所述,结论就是:
1.a quantity of 后既可接复数可数名词,亦可接不可数名词。

在它们分别和其后的名词构成短语作主语时,其谓语动词通常看 of 后名词的具体情况而采用单数或复数形式。

如果是接不可数名词,则谓语用单数形式,如果是接复数可数名词,则谓语通常要采用复数形式(※偶而接单数式谓语,属非规范用法,宜慎用。


2.quantities of 后既可接复数可数名词,亦可接不可数名词 , 后面的谓语都用复数形式。

举例证明:
1.On January 18, a large quantity of coloured photopaper, dried seafood, canned abalone, audio equipment and antibiotics worth HH$16million were found in four 40-foot containers, bound for… ( In brief--- China Daily, HK Edition, 20050122, P2)
2.Besides, a large quantity of mail bags were found. ( US nationals arrested for DVD piracy---China Daily, 20040731, P1)
3.An undetermined quantity of weapons and ammunition were also seized, the spokesman said. (Raid in karbala and shots fired in Baghdad ---China Daily, 2003102, P1)

5.A quantity of fake certificates and official stamps were also seized. (Police seize 59 in major gang smash, 20030403)
6.“ …and a large quantity of drugs is reading different segments
(学习的目的是增长知识,提高能力,相信一分耕耘一分收获,努力就一定可以获得应有的回报)。
