语法精讲Subject-Verb Agreement and Collective Nouns主谓一致和集合名词 考查主谓一致的几大热点: 1.主语+with/together with/as well as/besides/except/but/like/unlike/rather than/including等+名词或代词时,谓语动词的数应与前面的主语保持一致。 The teacher together with his students is going there on foot. To find friendship offer friendship.以友谊换友谊。 2.动词不定式、动名词及名词性从句作主语时,谓语动词常用单数形式。但 what引导的主语从句有时用复数动词,这时其含义常可从表语中看出。 When and where to build the hospital is not decided. What we want are books. 3.由or,either...or...,neither...nor...,not only...but also等连接并列主语时,常采用就近原则,即动词与最靠近的主语在人称和数上保持一致。 Not only you but also I am a teacher. Are either you or he a student? Here comes a teacher and several students. There are some books and a pen on the table. 4.在“one of+复数名词+定语从句”中,定语从句的先行词应为介词of后面的复数名词,因此从句的谓语动词应为复数;而在“the only one/every one of+复数名词+定语从句”中,定语从句的先行词是the only one/every one,定语从句中的谓语动词通常用单数形式。 |
