初中英语主谓一致详解
主谓一致性 集合名词作主语的主谓一致问题 一、必须用复数的情形 police(警察)，people(人)，cattle(牛，牲口), clothes(衣服)等集合名词作主语时，谓语总是用复数。如： My clothes were soaked. 我的衣服都湿透了。 The police are looking into the complaint. 警察在了解这项投诉。 Too few people are interested in such music nowadays. 如今对这种音乐有兴趣的人太少了。 二、必须用单数的情形 clothing(衣服)，poetry(诗歌)，baggage / luggage(行李)，furniture(家具)，scenery(景色)，jewellery(珠宝)，equipment(设备)等不可数的集合名词用作主语时，其谓语用单数形式。如： Furniture is chiefly made of wood. 家具主要是由木材制造。 Poetry was blooming in China in the Tang dynasty. 中国的诗歌在唐代十分盛行。 3. 可用单数或复数的情形 family(家庭)，team(队员)，class(班上的全体学生)，crowd(人群)，government(政府)，crew(乘务员)，committee(委员会)，audience(听众)，public(公众)等集合名词用作主语时，其谓语既可用单数，也可用复数：当它们被视为整体时，谓语用单数；当它们强调个体时，谓语用复数。如： My family is very large. 我家人很多。(视为整体) His family are waiting for him. 他家里人在等他。(强调个体成员) 注：有时没有特定的上下文，用单数或复数谓语区别不大。如： The public are [is] requested not to leave litter in the park.要求公众在公园不要乱扔东西。 the rest (of)等作主语，谓语的数取决于什么 请看下面两道题： a. The rest of the boys __________ watching TV. b. The rest of the money __________ stolen. A. were，were B. was，were C. were，was D. was，was 此题应选C。all，most，some，half，percent，the rest等词语后接介词of再接名词用作主语时，若该名词为可数名词的复数形式，则其谓语要用复数形式; 若该名词为不可数名词或可数名词的单数形式，则其谓语要用单数形式： 1. a. Most of the apples are bad. 这些苹果当中大部分是坏的。 b. Most of the apple is bad. 这个苹果坏了一大部分。 c. Most of the time was spent on it. 这上面花了大部分时间。 2. a. Half of the buildings were destroyed in the fire. 有一半的楼房在大火中被毁。 b. Half of the building was destroyed in the fire. 这座大楼在大火中有一半被毁。 c. Half of the money was spent on foo d. 有一半的钱用来买食物。 3. a. 30 percent of the workers here are women. 这里的工人有30%是女性。 b. 30 percent of the work has been done. 有30% 的工作已完成。 c. 30 percent of the wall has been painte d. 墙壁有30%已被刷漆。 并列主语受every, each修饰时谓语用单数还是复数 请看两个句子： Every boy and girl __________ the film. Each boy and girl __________ the film. A. likes，likes B. like，like C. likes，like D. like，likes 此题应选A。该题容易误选B，认为主语部分含有boy 和girl 两部分，应该用复数。其实当两个并列主语受到each，every，no等词修饰时，其谓语通常要用单数： Each boy and (each) girl was in white. 每个男孩和女孩都穿着白衣服。 Every man and woman was interested in it. 每一个男人和女人都对此感兴趣。 Each book and each paper was in proper place. 每本书和每张报纸都摆放得井井有条。 Every man and (every) woman in the village knows this. 这个村子里的男男女女都知道这事。 Every boy and every girl is given an apple. 每个男孩和每个女孩都被发给一个苹果。 No teacher and (no) student was present. 没有一个老师和学生出席。 He listened carefully，but no sound and no voice was heard. 他仔细地听，但是没听到一点声音。 we each等作主语谓语用单数还是复数 we each等作主语时，谓语动词应用复数，因为当we each作主语时，真正的主语是we，其后的each是修
高中英语主谓一致知识点讲解
高中英语主谓一致知识点讲解 本文主要讲解主谓一致，并列结构作主语时谓语用复数主谓一致中的靠近原则谓语动词与前面的主语一致 等常见考点。 主谓一致是指： 1）语法形式上要一致，即单复数形式与谓语要一致。 2）意义上要一致，即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致。 3）就近原则，即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语， 一般来说，不可数名词用动词单数，可数名词复数用动词复数。例如： There is much water in the thermos. 但当不可数名词前有表示数量的复数名词时，谓语动词用复数形式。例如： Ten thousand tons of coal were produced last year. 并列结构作主语时谓语用复数，例如： Reading and writing are very important. 读写很重要。 注意：当主语由and连结时，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。 典型例题 The League secretary and monitor ___ asked to make a speech at the meeting. A. is B. was C. are D. were 答案B. 注：先从时态上考虑。这是过去发生的事情应用过去时，先排除A.，C。本题易误选D，因为The League secretary and monitor 好象是两个人，但仔细辨别，monitor 前没有the，在英语中，当一人兼数职时只在第一个职务前加定冠词。后面的职务用and 相连。这样本题主语为一个人，所以应选B。

高考英语主谓一致用法全汇总
高考英语主谓一致用法全汇总 一、主谓一致的概念 主谓一致是指“人称”和“数”方面的一致关系。一般情况下，主谓之间的一致关系由以下三个原则支配： 语法一致原则、意义一致原则、就近原则。 “主谓一致”考查内容涉及名词单数或复数作主语、不可数名词作主语、不定式作主语、并列结构作主语、特殊名词作主语时与谓语动词的一致等。 二、名词作主语 01 某些集体名词，如family，team等作主语时，如果作为一个整体看待，谓语动词用单数形式，如果就其中一个个成员而言，谓语动词用复数形式。 如： His family is a happy one.他的家庭是一个幸福的家庭。 The whole family are watching TV.全家人都在看电视。 这类名词有audience，class，club，company，crew，enemy，crowd，government，group，party，public，team等。名词population一词的使用情况类似。 “a group(crowd) of+复数名词”等短语之后的谓语动词也同样可用单数或复数，前者强调整体，后者强调各个部分。
02 某些集体名词，如people，police，cattle等，只当复数看待，谓语动词必须用复数。 The police are searching for the thief.警察正在搜捕那个贼。03 单、复数同形的名词作主语时，谓语动词应根据意义决定单、复数。 如： A sheep is over there.那边有只羊。 Some sheep are over there.那边有些羊。 04 名词所有格之后的名词被省略，这种情况一般只指商店、工厂、住宅等，作主语时，动词一般用单数。 如： The doctor’s is across the street.诊所在街道的对面。 My uncle’s is not far from here.我叔叔家离这儿不远。常见的省略名词有the baker’s，the barber’s，the carpenter’s，the Zhang’s等。 表示店铺的名词，一般作集体名词看待，但用作主语时，谓语动词往往用复数。 如：

主谓一致和就近原则
英语语法——主谓一致 主谓一致有许多原则，概括起来不外乎三种一致原则，即：语法形式一致；概念一致（语言内容上一致）；毗邻一致（谓语动词的单复数形式和紧位于其前的主语一致）。 另外，根据代词应该在人称、数、性等方面与所指的词保持一致，还有指代一致。 一、语法形式一致 1、单数主语、单个动词不定式、动名词短语以及句子作主语，谓语动词要用单数形式。复数主语，用and或both…and连接的动词不定式短语、动名词短语以及主语从句作主语，谓语动词则用复数形式。例如： Serving the people is my great happiness. 为人民服务是我最大的幸福。Whether we’ll go depends on the weather. 我们是否去要取决于天气的好赖。 What I think and what I seek have been fairly reflected in my paper. 我所思考的和我所寻求的都在这个论文中体现了出来。 2、由as well as, with, along with, like, together with, rather than, except, but, including, accompanied by, plus, besides, in addition to, no less than 等引起的结构跟在主语后面，不能看作是并列主语，该主语不受这些词组引导的插入语的影响，主语如是单数，其谓语动词仍然用单数形式。例如： The reading course book, plus its reference books, is helpful to college students.

高中英语主谓一致讲解
高中英语：主谓一致 知识总结归纳 一、概念：主谓一致是指谓语在人称和数上必须和主语的人称和数保持一致。这是英语 语法中必须遵循的基本规则。 二、主谓一致主要有以下几种情况：语法一致，就近一致和意义一致。 （一）、语法一致：主语为单数形式，谓语动词也用单数形式；主语为复数形式，谓语动词也用复数形式。 .1 ofte n help him and he ofte n helps me. We ofte n help each other. 不可数名词作主语，谓语动词用单数；可数名词的复数形式作主语，谓语动词用复数。 1. 由and连接的两个名词或代词做主语： ①The worker and writer _____ （be） from Wuha n. 那个工人兼作家 ②The worker and the writer _____ （be） from Beiji ng. 那位工人和那位作家 ③The secretary and monitor _ asked to make a speech at the meeting.

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.

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.
