例如: The family are all fond of football. 那一家人都喜欢足球. The family is the tiniest cell of the society. 家庭是社会的最小的细胞. 6)一些形式为复数,意思为单数的名词,如:trousers, pants, shorts,glasses, 等作主语时,谓语动词用复数. 如:Her glasses are new. 她的眼镜是新的. 但当这类名词前有a pair of 修饰时,谓语动词应用单数. 如: This pair of trousers is made in Hangzhou. 三、就近原则 这一原则是指,谓语动词的人称和数常常与最近作主语的词语保持一致.常出现在这类句子中的连词有:or, either… or …, neither… nor … ,not only… but also …等. 例如: Either I or they are responsible for the result of the matter. 不是我,就是他们要对那件事的结局负责任. Neither his family nor he knows anything about it. 他全家人和他都不知道那件事. 常见考法 对于主谓一致的考查,通常会以单选的形式出现,多是让我们选择合适的谓语动词。 典型例题:The factory, including its machines and buildings, __________ burnt last night. A. is B. are C. were D. was 解析:but, except, besides, with, together with, along with, including, as well as, rather than, like等词连接主语时,谓语动词和前面的主语保持一致,本题中就是和The factory保持一致。而这些词所引导的词组不影响主语自身的单,复数形式,它们在句子里其实是状语. 答案:D 误区提醒 主谓一致这一知识点比较琐碎,在运用中常会因为考虑不全面而出错,所以我们必须把每一种用法记住,灵活运用。尤其要注意就近原则、集体名词和百分数,分数短语作主语的情况。 典型例题:Either Jane or Steven _____ watching TV now. A. were B. is C. was D. are 解析:本题考查的是就近原则。either… or …, neither… nor … ,not only… but also …连接两个主语时,谓语动词的人称和数常常与最近作主语的词语保持一致。本题中就是和Steven保持一致。有now.可知是现在进行时,排除A和C. 答案:B (责任编辑:admin) |
