考点一 主谓一致
主谓一致的各种情形
1. 关系代词作主语
在定语从句中,关系代词 that, who, which 等用作主语时,其谓语动词的数应与先行词一致。如:
He was one of the men who were chosen to represent the group.
The news that has been published in today’s newspaper isn’t true.
2. 分数或百分数等作主语
分数或百分数等作主语时,谓语动词要与它们所指代的名词的数一致。如: Two thirds of these tasks have been done. About 50 percent of the pupils are girls. 3.有量词修饰的名词作主语
有量词修饰的名词作主语,谓语动词由 pair, pile, row 等量词的单复数形式而定。如: One thousand pairs of pants are made in our department each day. There are two piles of sand on the way.
4. “the+形容词”作主语
“the+形容词”作主语时,如指一类人,谓语动词用复数形式;如指抽象概念,谓语动词用单数形式。如:
The young are more active than the old. The beautiful is not always useful.
5. 并列结构作主语
as well as/with/along with/like/together with/rather than/except/but/including/plus/besides… 等短语跟在主语后面,不能看作是并列主语,谓语动词的形式不受这些短语影响,而与其前的主语一致。我们可以理解记忆成“就远一致”。如:
Tom as well as his parents knows it.
Our school, with some other schools, was built in the 1980s.
The man together with his wife and children sits on the sofa watching TV.
6. more than one…, many a…作主语
“more than one+可数名词单数”(不止一个)或“many a+可数名词单数”(许多)作主语, 谓语动词用单数形式。如:
More than one student has failed the exam. Many a student has joined the club.
7. or, either…or…等连接两个主语
当两个主语由 or, either…or…, neither…nor…, not only… but also…连接时,谓语动词和最靠近的主语保持一致。如:
Either I or Mary has the chance to work in this company.
Not only the food but also the service is very good in the restaurant.
