語法專項訓練之---主謂一致

【知識點】

    在英語句子里，謂語受主語支配，其動詞必須和主語在人稱和數(shù)上保持一致，這就叫主謂一致。尋其規(guī)律，大致可歸納為三個原則，即語法一致、邏輯意義一致和就近一致原則。

 （一）語法一致原則：語法上一致就是謂語動詞和主語在單、復數(shù)形式上保持一致。

1. 以單數(shù)名詞或代詞、動詞不定式短語、動名詞短語或從句作主語時，謂語動詞一般用單數(shù)形式；主語為復數(shù)時，謂語動詞用復數(shù)形式。如：

His father is working on the farm.            To study English well is not easy.  

What he said is very important for us all.     The children were in the classroom two hours ago.

Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes.

注意：由what引導的主語從句，后面的謂語動詞多數(shù)情況用單數(shù)形式，但若表語是復數(shù)或what從句是一個帶有復數(shù)意義的并列結(jié)構(gòu)時，主句的謂語動詞用復數(shù)形式。如：

What I bought were three English books.

What I say and do are helpful to you.

2. 由連接詞and或both … and連接起來的合成主語后面，要用復數(shù)形式的謂語動詞。如：

Both she and he are Young Pioneers.

Plastics and rubber never rot. 

Walking and riding are good exercises. 

注意：① 若and所連接的兩個詞是指同一個人或物時，它后面的謂語動詞就應(yīng)用單數(shù)形式。如：The writer and artist has come.

② 由and連接的并列單數(shù)主語前如果分別有no, each, every, more than one, many a (an)修飾時，其謂語動詞要用單數(shù)形式。如：

Every student and every teacher was in the room.

No boy and no girl likes it.

each放在由and連接的并列單數(shù)主語后面做同位語時，動詞用復數(shù)。如：

The boy and the girl each have their own toys.

3. 主語為單數(shù)名詞或代詞，盡管后面跟有with, together with, except, but, like, as well as, rather than, more than, no less than, besides, including等引起的短語，謂語動詞仍用單數(shù)形式；若主語為復數(shù)，謂語用復數(shù)形式。如：

Mr Green, together with his wife and children, has come to China.

Nobody but Jim and Mike was on the playground.

She, like you and Tom, is very tall.

4. either, neither, each, every 或no +單數(shù)名詞和由some, any, no, every構(gòu)成的復合不定代詞，都作單數(shù)看待。如：

Each of us has a new book.  We each have a new book.

Everything around us is matter.

注意：① 在口語中當either或neither后跟有“of+復數(shù)名詞（或代詞）”作主語時，其謂語動詞也可用復數(shù)。如：Neither of the texts is (are) interesting.

② 若none of后面的名詞是不可數(shù)名詞，它的謂語動詞就要用單數(shù)；若它后面的名詞是復數(shù)，它的謂語動詞用單數(shù)或復數(shù)都可以。如：

None of us has (have) been to America.

5. 在定語從句中，先行詞前有one of時，其謂語動詞用復數(shù)。先行詞前是the only one of時，動詞用單數(shù)。如：

He is one of my friends who are working hard.

He is the only one of my friends who is working hard.

6. 由“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a great deal of+ 名詞”構(gòu)成的短語做主語，其謂語動詞的數(shù)要根據(jù)短語中后面名詞的數(shù)而定。如：

There are a lot of people in the classroom.

A great deal of time has been spent on this project.

7. more than one/ many a+ 單數(shù)名詞做主語時，意義上是復數(shù)，但動詞用單數(shù)。如：

More than one girl wears skirts today.

Many a scientist has been working on the AIDS vaccine。

注意：① a number of“許多”，作定語修飾復數(shù)名詞，謂語用復數(shù)；the number of“…的數(shù)量”，主語是number，謂語用單數(shù)。

A number of students are from the south.

The number of students from the north is small.

②a quantity of 修飾主語時，動詞以后面的名詞為準，quantities of修飾主語時，動詞以quantities為準。

A small quantity of water is left in the bottle.

A large quantity of books are on sale now.

Quantities of fish were caught that day.

8. 在倒裝句中，謂語動詞的數(shù)應(yīng)與其后的主語一致。如：

There comes the bus.                   On the wall are many pictures.

Such is the result.                      Such are the facts.

（二）邏輯意義一致原則：邏輯意義一致就是謂語動詞的數(shù)必須和主語的意義一致（因有時主語形式為單數(shù)，但意義為復數(shù)；有時形式為復數(shù)，但意義為單數(shù)）。

1. what, who, which, any, more, all等代詞可以是單數(shù)，也可是復數(shù)，主要靠意思來決定。如：Which is your bag?          Which are your bags?

             All is going well.            All have gone to Beijing.

2．由and 連接的兩個what從句或非謂語動詞作主語時，要根據(jù)意義一致的原則決定謂語動詞的單復數(shù)。如：

What he says and does do not agree.

What he says and does does not concern me.

When and where to hold the meeting has not been decided yet.

Where he is and how he is are still unknown.

3. 表示“時間、重量、長度、距離、價值”等的名詞的復數(shù)做主語時，謂語動詞通常用單數(shù)形式，這是由于做主語的名詞在概念上是一個整體，如：

Thirty minutes is enough for the work.

20,000 dollars is not a small sum of money.

4. 若英語是書名、片名、格言、劇名、報名、國名等的復數(shù)形式，其謂語動詞通常用單數(shù)形式。如： “The Arabian Nights”is an interesting story-book.

5. 數(shù)和百分數(shù)修飾可數(shù)或不可數(shù)名詞做主語時，動詞單復數(shù)取決于它們所表示的意義。如：

About one third of the books are worth reading.

A large percentage of the work was done yesterday.

6. 算式中表示數(shù)目的主語通常作單數(shù)看待，其謂語動詞采用單數(shù)形式。如：

Twelve plus eight is twenty.

Fifty-six divided by eight is seven.

7. 一些學科名詞是以 –ics 結(jié)尾，如：mathematics, politics, physics 以及news, works（工廠）等，都屬于形式上是復數(shù)的名詞，實際意義為單數(shù)名詞，它們作主語時，其謂語動詞要用單數(shù)形式。如：

The paper works was built in 1990.

I think physics isn’t easy to study.

8. trousers, glasses, clothes, shoes, jeans等詞作主語時，謂語用復數(shù)，但如果這些名詞前有a/two pair/pairs of等量詞修飾時，謂語動詞與pair保持一致。如：

My glasses are broken.

The pair of shoes under is his.

Here are some new pairs of shoes.

9. 由kind( form, type, sort, species, portion, series) of 等修飾的主語，其謂語形式取決于這些詞的單復數(shù)。如：

This new type of buses is now on show.

Some new forms of art were discussed at the meeting.

10. 單復同形的名詞如means, works（作品）, sheep, deer, crossroads做主語，視其意義而定。如：

Each means has been tried to solve the problem.

There are various means of communicating with a stranger.

11.“定冠詞the + 形容詞或分詞”，表示某一類人時，動詞用復數(shù)。表示抽象概念時，動詞用單數(shù)。如：

The wounded were treated well.

The new is sure to take the place of the old.

12. 如果集體名詞指的是整個集體，它的謂語動詞用單數(shù)；如果它指集體的成員，其謂語動詞就用復數(shù)形式。這些詞有family, class, crowd, committee, population, audience等。如：

Class Four is on the third floor.

Class Four are unable to agree upon a monitor.

注意：people, police, cattle等名詞一般都用作復數(shù)。如：

The police are looking for the lost child.

13. the other/another+基數(shù)詞+N.(pl),動詞用復數(shù)。如：

Five people came to help, but another three were still needed.

14. the rest of… ,the remaining of…, part of…the majority of , 等做主語時，動詞要根據(jù)主語所指單復數(shù)而定。

The majority of the refugees were from Iraq and the rest were from Libya.

注意：當proportion作“部分”解時，如a (the) proportion of N 作主語，其謂語動詞的數(shù)取決于名詞的數(shù)。如：

A large proportion of my time is spent in studying. 我的大部分時間都用在學習上。

A large proportion of students are workers and peasants. 大部分學生是工人和農(nóng)民。

當proportion作“比率；之比”解時，其謂語動詞用單數(shù)。如：

The proportion of boys to girls in our class is three to one. 我們班上的男、女生比例是3：1。

（三）就近一致原則：在英語句子中，有時謂語動詞的人稱和數(shù)與最近的主語保持一致。

 1. 當兩個主語由either … or, neither … nor, or, not only … but also連接時，謂語動詞和鄰近的主語一致。如：

Either the teacher or the students are our friends.

Neither they nor he is wholly right.

Is neither he nor they wholly right?

 2. there be句型be動詞單復數(shù)取決于其后的主語。如果其后是由and連接的兩個主語，則應(yīng)與靠近的那個主語保持一致。如：

There are two chairs and a desk in the room..

注意：Here引導的倒裝句用法同上。 如：

Here comes the bus and two cars.

【高考考向】

主謂一致在高考中主要在語法填空和改錯題中與名詞結(jié)合起來綜合考查。需要學生熟練掌握主謂一致的各條規(guī)則，尤其是一些特殊情況。近幾年來，高考關(guān)于該內(nèi)容的考查主要集中在語法一致，邏輯一致和就近原則三個方面。

【高考真題】

1. （2021·浙江卷語法填空）It doesn't impress like George Washington's plantation on the Potomac, but Lincoln's home in downtown Springfield, Illinois, ___36___ （prove）irresistible to visitors since it opened to the public.……. When the house was built, it was much smaller than it is today. Mary's niece wrote, "The little home ___40___ （paint）white.

【答案】36. has proved/has proven            40. was painted   

【解析】36. 考查動詞。句意：它不像喬治華盛頓在波托馬克河畔的種植園那樣給人留下深刻印象，但林肯在伊利諾伊州斯普林菲爾德市中心的家，自從向公眾開放以來，就被證明對游客來說是不可抗拒的。分析句子成分可知，設(shè)空處作謂語動詞，Lincoln’s home in downtown Springfield Illinois作主語；結(jié)合句意及設(shè)空處后的時間狀語從句since it opened to the public可知，此處指過去發(fā)生的事情對現(xiàn)在造成的影響，符合現(xiàn)在完成時概念，故設(shè)空處用現(xiàn)在完成時；現(xiàn)在完成時結(jié)構(gòu)是has/have +過去分詞；主語Lincoln’s home in downtown Springfield Illinois是第三人稱單數(shù)，所以助動詞用has，提示詞prove 的過去分詞形式是proved或proven。故填 has proved/ has proven。

40. 考查被動語態(tài)。句意：這個小房子被漆成了白色。分析句子結(jié)構(gòu)可知，設(shè)空處作謂語動詞，The little home作主語。結(jié)合句意及常識可知，房子是“被漆”的，主語和謂語動詞之間是被動關(guān)系，所以要用被動語態(tài)；根據(jù)上文的was built可知，此處為一般過去時態(tài)；一般過去時的被動語態(tài)結(jié)構(gòu)是was/were+過去分詞；主語The little home是單數(shù)第三人稱，所以要用was，提示詞paint的過去分詞形式是painted。故填was painted。

2.（2020·山東卷）The parts of a museum open to the public  40    (call) galleries or rooms.

【答案】are called

【解析】考查動詞時態(tài)及語態(tài)。句意:博物館對公眾開放的部分被稱為畫廊或展廳。此處描述的是客觀使用，應(yīng)使用一般現(xiàn)在時；主語與call是邏輯動賓關(guān)系，應(yīng)使用被動語態(tài)，且主語是復數(shù)概念。故填are called。

3．（2020·天津卷）The number of medical schools reached 18 in the early 1990s and ______ around that level since.

A．a(chǎn)re remaining  B．have remained  C．is remaining     D．has remained

【答案】D

【解析】考查時態(tài)和主謂一致。句意:20世紀90年代初，醫(yī)學院的數(shù)量達到了18所，此后一直保持在這個水平。ever since“從那以后”作時間狀語，句子用現(xiàn)在完成時態(tài)。主語為the number of medical schools，the number of表示“……的數(shù)目”，中心詞是number，所以是單數(shù)，作主語時，謂語動詞應(yīng)用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。綜上，故選D。

4.【2019·江蘇卷】 The musician along with his band members ___________ ten performances in the last three months.

A. gives B. has given C. have given D. give

【答案】B

【解析】考查現(xiàn)在完成時與主謂一致。句意：在過去的三個月里，這名音樂家與他的樂隊成員已經(jīng)完成了十場演出。由“in the last three months”可知，這句話的時態(tài)為現(xiàn)在完成時，故排除AD選項。本句主語為the musician，為第三人稱單數(shù)形式，句中的“along with his band members”是附加成分，故謂語動詞要用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。故選B。

5.【2019·天津卷】Amy, as well as her brothers, ____________ a warm welcome when returning to the village last week.

A. is given B. are given   C. was given   D. were given

【答案】C

【解析】本題考查時態(tài)和語態(tài)。句意：艾米和他的兄弟們當上周回到村里時，受到了熱烈的歡迎。根據(jù)last week可知應(yīng)用過去時，排除選項A和B。as well as連接并列主語，謂語動詞就前原則。這句話真正的主語是Amy，她受到熱烈歡迎，所以用過去時的被動。故選C。

6.【2019·新課標I卷】 Of the  nineteen recognized polar bear subpopulations, three are declining, six ___70___ (be) stable, one is increasing, and nine lack enough data.

【答案】are

【解析】時態(tài)和考查主謂一致。根據(jù)three are declining，此處數(shù)詞six作主語，代指前文中的“polar bear subpopulations”，故用復數(shù)謂語，一般現(xiàn)在時，故填are。

【學生學情分析】

學生能輕松解答難度較低的主謂一致的常規(guī)習題，但由于主謂一致原則太多，有很多特殊情況，對于如就近原則和就遠原則等特殊情況，學生容易混淆，需要強化練習，加深印象。
