主谓一致—
指主语和谓语在人称和数上必须保持一致。
三大原则— 语法上一致
意义上一致
就近原则
1
语法上一致
The number of errors _____ (be)surprising.
Jane and Mary _____(look) alike.
主语为单数形式,谓语动词用单数形式,主语为复数形式,谓语动词用复数形式。
is
look
2
意义上一致
The family ____(be )watching TV at home .
The news _____(be )very exciting.
主语的形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词用复数,形单意复的单词如:people , police, cattle.
主语形式为复数,意义却为单数,谓语动词用单数,形复意单的如:works ,news 和一些以ies结尾的学科名称 physics , polities
are
is

就近原则
Either your students or Mr Wang ______ (know)this .
Not only the students but also their teacher _____ (have ) seen the film.
谓语动词的单复数的形式取决于最靠近它的词语。
如用连词or , either …or , neither …nor ,
not only …but also 等连接的并列主语,若一个是单数,一个是复数,则谓语动词与靠近它的词语一致。
knows
has

具体注意要点
1. 某些集体名词,如family ,team 等做主语时,若当一个整体看,谓语动词就用单数,若就其中一个一个成员来看,谓语动词就用复数,class , club, audience ,committee , crowd , government , party, public , team 等。其中population 的用法也类似
His family _____(be) going to have a long journey.
They whole family _____(be) having lunch.
The population of China ____(be)very large ,and eighty percent of the population in China _____(be) farmer.
is
are
is
are

,people ,police ,cattle 等只当是复数看待,谓语须用复数.
The police ____(be) searching for him.
3. 单复数同形的词语做主语,谓语应根据意义决定其单复数的形式。
A sheep _____(be )over there .
Some sheep _____(be ) over there .
4. 有些名词复数形式作为一个整体,(如度量,距离,金额,时间,书名等)其谓语动词用单数。
Three weeks _____(be ) not enough to finish the work .
1000dollars ____(be ) a large amount of money.
are
is
are
is
is

5. 名词所有格之后的名词被省略(这种情况一般纸商,工场,住宅等),这时,动词一般用单数。常见的有:the baker ’s, the barber ’s , the Zhang ’s等。 注意:表示店铺的名词做主语时,谓语常用复数。
The doctor’s _____(be ) on the side of the street .
My uncle’s _____(be ) not far from here .
Richardson ’s ______(have) a lot of imported goods to sell.
is
is
have

6. 单数名词被more than one , many a 修饰,概念上是复数,但中心词是单数,谓语须用单数。注意“more +复数名词+than one”结构之后,谓语多用复数。
More than one student _____(have ) seen the film .
