主谓一致巧解口诀
,“就近原则”是一般。
常见连词词组有 neither… nor…/either… or…/whether… or…/ not only… but also…/ not… but…等等,这些连词连接并列主语时,谓语动词的单复数与最邻近的主语一致。如:
Not only you but also I am a student.
Are either you or I mad?
,“兼职、并列”细分辨。
and连接两个主语时,例: the teacher and the writer为并列主语,谓语动词应为复数,而 the teacher and writer则是一人两重身份,谓语动词应为单数。如:
The principal and party secretary is to make a speech this afternoon.
The teacher and writer ing here.
但有时两种职业不可能由一人担任。如:
The doctor and nurse are doing their work。
不能按兼职对待,因此谓语动词用复数。
3.“There be”句型并不难,谓语动词按前边。
该句型为倒装句,因此“ be”的单复数按后边的主语。如:
There is a student in the classroom。
但如果有两个以上主语则按“就近原则”。如:
There is a table and two chairs in the room.
,“整体、个体”认真看。
集合名词作主语时,若作为一个整体看待,谓语动词用单数;若侧重指组成该集合的成员或个体时,谓语动词用复数。常见集体名词有 family / team / class / audience / couple / firm/等等。如:
The team is at the bottom of the third division.
The team are full of energy.
但“ cattle, police, people, militia”作主语常用复数;而“ machinery, furniture, jewelry”虽也是总称,却常用单数。
,谓语动词看前。
在主语后有 as well as / not to mention / along with / besides / except / but / in addition to /等短语时,谓语动词应与前面的真正主语一致。如:
Tom together with his two sisters is watching TV。
“一”是“二”要分清,“眉须”齐抓绝不行。
疑问代词或疑问副词并列使用时,要注意它引导的是一个问题的两个方面还是两个问题。如:
When and where to build the new factory is not decided.
When to build the new factory and where to build the new factory haven't been
