第4篇：主谓一致

高中英语：主谓一致

概论：谓语动词的数必须和主语的人称和数保持一致，这就叫主谓一致。在判定一个句子主谓语是否一致时，要遵循下列三个原则：语法一致、意义一致和就近一致。近几年来，高考关于该内容的考查主要集中在意义一致、语法一致、承前一致以及就近一致几个方面。 考点：

1. 谓语动词用单数的情况 2. 谓语动词用复数的情况 3. 谓语动词单复数视情况而定

4. “名词(或代词)+介词短语”作主语时的主谓一致 5. “名词(或代词)+of+名词”作主语时的主谓一致 6. 定语从句中的主谓一致 7. 就近原则&就前原则 解析：

一、语法一致原则：主语和谓语从语法形式上取得一致：主语是单数形式，谓语也采取单数形式;主语是复数形式，谓语亦采取复数形式。 The number of errors was surprising. We love our motherland . 规则：

1. 由and, both…and 连接两个单数名词谓语用复数，但当and连接的两个名词指同一个人，同一物，同一事，同一概念时谓语用单数。 Both bread and butter were served for breakfast in this hotel. The teacher and writer is going to give us a talk. 2. 由and 连接的前置并列修饰语+不可数名词做主语时，谓语用复数。 Good and bad meat in the market are sold out. 3. 凡由and连接两个带the(a或物主代词)的单数可数名词，谓语用复数，如果只有前一个名词带the(a 或物主代词)则谓语用单数。

The professor and the writer have published a few new books on radio. The tenth and last chapter is written by a young man. 4. every/each/no 修饰单数名词，以及and连接的两个有every/each/no修饰的单数名词做主语时，谓语用单数形式。如：Every boy and every girl is having sports now. 5.“more than one/many a+单数名词”做主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。如： More than one student has failed the exam. 6. “one +单数名词and a half ” 做主语时，谓语动词可用单数形式，也可用复数形式，如： He said that one and a half apples is enough. 7. 不可数名词、动名词、不定式、从句等做主语时，谓语通常用单数。 Much milk is offered to him.

Reading aloud is very important in learning English. To nod one’s head means agreement.

What they said is true. 8. 不定代词either, each, one, another, anyone, anybody , no one, nobody, some one, somebody, anything, nothing, something, everything, everyone, everybody, neither等做主语时，谓语用单数，none做主语时，谓语单复数均可。 There is nothing wrong with the machine.

Tian Lili is the only one of the girls who has passed the exam. 考例：

He is the only of the students who_______ a winner of scholarship for three years. A is

B are

C have been

D has been (key D)

二、意义一致原则: 取决于主语所表达的内在含义。只要确定句子的主语是单数意义，则谓语用单数;句子的主语是复数意义，则谓语用复数。 例如：

The crowd were fighting for their lives. Three years in a strange land seems like a long time. 规则：

1. 由and 连接的两个疑问代词、不定式、动名词做主语时，根据意义一致的原则确定单复数。

When and where to build the new factory ________yet. A is not decided

B are not decided C has not decided

D have not decided (key:A) 2. 不可数名词做主语，一律视为单数。以¬s结尾的国名、地名、机构名，书名，如：the United States, the United Nations等做主语，视为单数;有些不可数名词如：news, maths, physics 虽然以¬s结尾，但不是复数。 Physics is not easy to understand. 3. 表示单一概念的动名词、不定式或句子做主语时，谓语动词用单数。“one, either, neither, each of+复数名词或代词”做主语时，谓语用单数。如： When and where to go for the on¬salary holiday has not been decided yet. Either of the stories is very funny. 4. 表示时间、金钱、距离、重量等的复数名词做主语，通常看作一个整体，谓语动词常用单数。如：

Ten pounds was missing from the box.

5. a series of, a kind of, a piece of, a pair of， type of等修饰名词做主语时，通常以量词的单复数形式来决定谓语的单复数。如： This pair of trousers fits you.

The kind of the apple tastes delicious. Two series of new stamps have been ordered. this kind of book =a book of this kind(这种书)，其谓语动词用单数;短语this kind of men =men of this kind =these kind of men(口语)(这一类人)，但this kind of men的谓语动词用单数，men of this kind和these kind of men的谓语动词用复数，all kinds of后跟复数名词，谓语动词用复数形式。如： This kind of men is dangerous. Men of this kind are dangerous. 6. the population of…“……的人口数量”作主语时，谓语用单数，但如果是分数/百分数/half of/the rest of+the population 作主语时，谓语则用复数，具体指其中的多少人，复数意义，如： The population of China is large and about eighty percent of the population are farmers. 注意：

the average of …“……的平均数量”，作主语时，谓语用单数。

7. “the +adj.”结构指人时，谓语动词用复数;如果表示抽象的概念，谓语动词用单数，如：

The disabled are well taken care of in this country. 8. 分数、百分数，all, some, the rest, half of, most of, part of 等作主语时，谓语动词的单复数根据其指代的含义确定，如： Most of the workers have gone home for a holiday. 9. 主语为集体名词时，如果表示一个整体，谓语 动词用单数;如果指其中的个体，谓语动词用复数。 这类集体名词常见的有：army, audience, cattle, class, club, committee, crowd, family, government, group, majority, minority, people, police, public, staff, team 等，其中cattle，people，police一般看成复数形式。而有的名词则是单数、复数相同，如sheep, deer, aircraft, mean, fish, works, species,等，做主语时，就必须根据意思来确定其谓语的单复数形式。 His family were sitting in the sofa watching TV when I got there. Every possible means________ to prevent the air pollution, but the sky is still not clear. A is used

B are used

C has been used D have been used (keys:C) 10. 当and连接两个并列主语在意义上指同一人、 同一物、同一事或者同一概念时，应看作单数，谓语 动词用单数形式。另外，当and 连接两个形容词修饰 一个单数形式的主语时，其实是指两种不同的事物， 主语则应该看作是复数，那么谓语动词也应该用 复数。如： War and peace is a constant theme in history. Chinese and Japanese silk are of good quality. 注意：

英语中并列结构表示整体概念的有：

iron and steel 钢铁

law and order 治安

bread and butter 黄油面包

a watch and chain 一块带链的表

a knife and fork 刀叉

truth and honesty 真诚 a coat and tie 配有领带的上衣

aim and end 目的

11. what 引导的主语从句做主语时，谓语动词的单复数取决于作表语的名词的单复数形式。如：

What surprised me most was his attitude towards his study. 12：such 做主语时，谓语动词的单复数形式要根据其意义而定。如： Such is Stephen Hawking, who has suffered a great deal but achieved so much. 13：“quantities of+名词” 做主语时，不论名词是复数还是不可数，谓语一律用复数。如：Every day quantities of water are wasted.

三、就近原则: 谓语动词根据它前面最邻近的名词或代词或其他词的数的形式，来决定其自身的数的形式。

例如：

Not only his children but also he himself wants to go there. Either my wife or I am going to work there. 规则：

1. 当连词or, not…but…; either…or…， neither…nor…， not only…but (also)…等连接两个名词或代词做主语时，谓语动词的形式常与最靠近的词语保持一致。如：

Either I or they are responsible for the result of the matter. Either you or the headmaster______ the prizes to these gifted students at the meeting(1994上海) A is handing out

B are to hand out

C are handing out

D is to hand out (key:D) 2：在倒装句中，谓语与后面第一个主语的数保持一致(需认准主语是哪个)。如：In the distance was heard the clapping of hands and the shouts of the people. 1)Between the two buildings

(stand) a monument. 2)On the ship

(be) over 2,200 people. 3)More than 1,500 people lost their lives.

Among those

(be) the young woman. 3. 当一个句子是由 there 或here引起，而主语又不止一个时，谓语通常和最靠近它的主语一致。如：

There is a pen, a knife and several books on the desk.

四、承前一致

1. 由and 连接的第二个名词短语表示否定或带有状语时，谓语的单复数与第一个名词一致。

The teacher, and perhaps his students too, is likely to be present. 2. 主语+介词(短语)：with, except, as well as, no less than, rather than, more than, over, besides, together with, like, including, in addition to等连接的名词时，谓语以介词(短语)前的主语为准， 不受介词后的名词影响。 The man with hs daughters and sons is watching TV.

1.[解析] C 考查主谓一致。分析句子结构可以看出，句子缺少谓语动词。as well as 当作介词使用，后面的成分不能作主语，主语是The family，在这里指的是一家人，所以谓语动词用复数形式。人是被洪水困住的，所以用被动语态。句意：那家人还有他们饲养的狗都被洪水困到了屋顶。 2. [解析] C 考查主谓一致。in common with意为 “和……一样”，谓语动词单复数跟前面的主语保持一致。句意：与其他工业化国家一样，英国在过去100年里经历了重大的变化。 A、B项第一空together with，as well as意思及用法与in common with类似，均错在第二空;D项instead of“而不是”，不合句意。

3. [解析] A 考查主谓一致。这里的主语是Some necessary equipment，所以谓语动词用单数形式。时间状语为“since+过去时”，所以用完成时。

4. [解析] C 考查强调句型及主谓一致。此处为强调句 型，强调了主语 he or you，根据强调句型结构“It is/was+被强调部分+ that/who+其他”，首先排除 D;谓语的单复数根据所强调的主语he or you确定，or连接并列主语时采用就近一致原则，因此根据you确定谓语为are。

5. [解析] D 考查主谓一致。“an average of+可数名词复数”，其后的谓语动词应该用复数;“the average of+可数名词复数”，其后的谓语动词则应该用单数。such是指代前面的这样一件事，所以视为单数，故其后谓语动词应该用单数。由此可知选D。

6. [解析] A 考查主谓一致。主语由as well as连接，故谓语应和Atlanta一致;由语境可知要用一般现在时。

7. [解析] A 考查主谓一致。More than one修饰的名词谓语要求用单数形式。

8. [解析] D two thirds这里指代的是classmates，故谓语用复数。

9. [解析] C 考查主谓一致。主语由together with引导，谓语要和前面的主语一致;that指代Writing Skills，故谓语要用单数。由此可知答案。

10. [解析] C 考查主谓一致。deer的单复数形式相同，这里指三分之一的鹿，故用复数。

11. [解析] D 考查主谓一致。此处soil and water是主语，故用are。

12. [解析] A 考查主谓一致。第一空poets作主语，谓语用are，第二空some of his works作主语，表示复数的概念，依然用are。

13. [解析] C 考查主谓一致和时态。动名词短语作主语，句子的谓语动词用单数形式，由此排除B、D两项。根据主语与caused的主动关系，排除A，选C。 14. [解析] D 考查主谓一致。只有and前的名词前有冠词，表示“书记兼校长”，指同一个人，选D。

15. [解析] A 考查动词时态和主谓一致。主语是Dr. Smith，表单数，谓语动词用单数形式;时间状语是this summer, 表计划性的将来，故时态用一般将来时。 1—5 ACDAB 6—10ABADD 11—15CCACA

第5篇：主谓一致

集合名词做主语的主谓一致问题

1. 通常用作复数的集合名词

police(警察)，people(人)，cattle(牛，牲口)等集合名词，总是表示复数意义，用作主语时，其谓语要用复数：

The police were after him. 警察正在追捕他。

People are beginning to talk about her. 人们开始议论她。 Cattle feed on grass. 牛吃草。

【注】goods(货物), clothes(衣服)只有复数形式，且只表示复数意义： Such clothes are very cheap. 那样的衣服很便宜。

All the goods have been sent to them. 所有的货物都给他们送去了。 2. 只用作单数的不可数集合名词

clothing(衣服)，poetry(诗歌)，baggage / luggage(行李)， furniture(家具)，machinery(机械)，scenery(景色)，jewellery(珠宝)，equipment(设备)等集合名词通常只用作不可数名词，表示单数意义，用作主语时，其后谓语动词用单数形式：

Our clothing protects us from against the cold. 我们的衣服可以御寒。 All their baggage was stolen. 他们所有的行李都被偷了。 The furniture is convenient to move. 这家具搬起来很方便。

All the machinery in the factory is made in China. 这个工厂所有的机器都是中国产的。 3. 既可表示单数意义也可表示复数意义的集合名词

family(家庭)，team(队，队员)，class(班，班上的全体学生)，crowd(人群)，government(政府)，crew(乘务员)，committee(委员会)，audience(听众)，public(公众)等集合名词，当它们表示整体意义时，表单数意义，当它们强调个体意义时，表示复数意义：

Her family is a large one. 她的家庭是一个大家庭。 Her family are all tall. 她的一家人都很高。

The team is the best in the league. 这个队在联赛中打得最好。 The football team are having baths. 足球队队员们在洗澡。

It was late, but the audience was increasing. 时间很迟了，但听众人数却在增加。 The audience were all moved to tears. 听众都感动得流了泪。 【注】有时没有特定的语境，用单复数谓语均可以：

The audience was (were) very excited by the show. 观众对演出甚感激动。

The public has (have) a right to know what’s in the report. 公众有权知道这篇报告的内容。

并列结构作主语时谓语动词的数

1. 由and和both...and连接的并列主语 此时谓语动词通常用复数。如：

Jim and Mary are both interested in it. 吉姆和玛丽都对此感兴趣。 Both brother and sister are college students. 兄妹俩都是大学生。 【注意】

(1) 当由and连接的两个并列主语受each, every, no的修饰时，谓语用单数： Every boy and (every) girl likes the book. 每个男孩女孩都喜欢这本书。 No desk and (no) chair was seen in the room. 房间里不见桌椅。 (2) 当and连接两个数相加时，谓语动词可用单数或复数： Six and eight makes [make] fourteen. 六加八等于十四。

(3) 当and连接的两个的词语指同一个人或事物时，谓语通常要用单数： A cart and horse was seen in the distance. 远处看见一辆马车。

2. 由or, nor, either...or, neither…nor, not only…but also, not…but等连接的并列主语

此时谓语动词通常与最靠近的主语保持一致(即遵循就近原则)。如： He or I am wrong. 不是他错了，就是我错了。 Either you or he has taken it. 不是你拿了就是他拿了。

Not only the children but also the mother wants to go. 不仅孩子们想去，母亲也想去。

注意这类句型的疑问句形式：

Were you or he there? 当时是你还是他在那儿? Are either you or he to blame? 是怪你还是怪他? 【注意】

在非正式文体中，个别结构(如neither…nor)连接主语时，谓语可用复数： Neither his father nor his mother have [has] come. 他的爸爸和妈妈都没来。 3. 由as well as, as much as, rather than , more than, no less than 等连接的并连主语

此时谓语动词通常与前面一个主语保持一致。如：

The teacher as well as the students has read it 不仅学生读过它，老师也读过。 The teacher rather than the students is to blame. 应受责备的是老师而不是学生。

数量概念作主语时谓语动词的数

1. 表时间长度、钱数、速度等的词组作主语 此时通常将其视为整体，谓语用单数。如：

Twenty years is a long time. 20年是很长的时间。 Ten dollars is all I have left. 我只剩下10美元。 2. 分数(百分数)作主语

“分数(百分数)+of+名词”结构作主语时，谓语动词的数与其中名词的数保持一致。如： About 30 percent of the pupils were absent that day. 那天大约有30%的学生未到。 Three-fourths of the surface of the earth is covered by sea. 地球表面的四分之三是海。

【注意】

在现代英语中，有时即使该结构中的名词为复数，其谓语也可用单数(即将其视为整体)： Over sixty per cent of families own [owns] a television. 百分之六十以上的家庭已拥有电视机。

3.“one in [out of]+复数名词”作主语 此时谓语动词通常用单数。如：

Only one in ten students has passed the examination. 只有十分之一的学生通过了考试。 One out of twelve bottles was broken. 每12个瓶子中有一个破了。 【注意】

在非正式文体中有时也用复数谓语。如：

Nationwide, one in five adults are illiterate. 就全国范围而言，五个成年人中有一个是文盲。

4.“all of (some of, none of, half of, most of, lots of, plenty of)+名词”作主语 此时谓语动词的数与其中名词的数保持一致。如：

Most of the people are against the plan. 大多数人反对这个计划。

Most of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. 地球的大部分地区被水覆盖。 Half of the apple is bad. 这个苹果有一半是坏的。

Half of the apples are bad. 这些苹果当中有一半是坏的。

5.“one and a half+复数名词”与“a+单数名词+and a half”作主语 此时国内不少书认为，这两个结构作主语，谓语均用单数。如：

One and a half months has passed. / A month and a half has passed. 已经过去了一个半月。

但是，国外一些词书则认为，谓语动词的数取决于这两个结构中名词的数：

One and a half months have passed. / A month and a half has passed. 已经过去了一个半月。

6.“the [a] number of+名词”作主语

该结构若用定冠词，其后谓语用单数;若用不定冠词，其后谓语用复数： The number of students is 4000. 学生人数为4000。

A number of people were absent from the meeting. 许多人开会缺席。 注意类似结构：

The variety of goods in this shop is rich. 这家商店的品种丰富。 A variety of books have been published. 已出版了各种各样的书。

. 不定代词作主语时的主谓一致问题

1. someone, anyone等作主语时

someone, anyone, no one, everyone, something, nothing等复合不定代词作主语，谓语动词用单数：

Someone is asking to see you. 有人找你。 Nobody is to blame for it. 这谁也不怨。

No one wants to read such books. 没有人想看那样的书。 2. all 作主语时

若指人，谓语通常用复数;若指事物或现象，谓语通常用单数： All have gone home. 大家都走了。

All that glitters is not gold. 发亮的不一定都是金子。 比较：

All is silent. 万籁俱寂。(指现象)

All are silent. 人人都沉默不语。(指具体的人) 【注意】

若是“all of+名词”作主语，则谓语动词与其中名词的数保持一致。 3. either和neither作主语时 若是单独作主语，谓语通常用单数： Neither was satisfactory. 两个都不令人满意。

The two guests have arrived, and either is welcome. 两位客人都到了，哪一位都受欢迎。

【注意】

若是“either [neither] of+名词”作主语，则其后的谓语动词可用单数(正式文体)或复数(非正式文体)：

Neither of the two computers is [are] cheap. 这两台电脑都不便宜。 Is [Are] either of the boys ready? 两个男孩都准备好了吗?

I don’t think either of them is [are] at home. 我想他们俩个都会不在家。 4. each作主语或修饰主语时

单独用作主语(或修饰主语)，谓语用单数:

Each student has his own desk. 每个学生都有自己的课桌。

Two boys entered. Each was carrying a suitcase. 两个男孩进来，每人提着一只箱子。 【注意】

(1) 两个或多个“each+单数名词”结构并列作主语时, 谓语用单数。 (2) “each of+复数名词或代词”用作主语, 谓语一般要用单数

Each of them was deeply frightened. 他们个个都惊恐万分。(from )

但是在非正式文体中(尤其是当 each of之后的名词较长时)偶尔也可用复数谓语，但很少见，学生宜慎用。

5. none (of) 作主语时

若指不可数名词，谓语用单数;若指复数可数名词，谓语可用单数(正式文体)或复数(非正式文体)：

None of the money is mine. 这笔钱没有一点是我的。 None of the boys like [likes] it. 这些男孩子谁也不喜欢它。 6. 关于“one of+复数名词+定语从句”

在这一结构中，定语从句的谓语用复数取决于先行词是one还是其后的复数名词。一般说来，在这类结构中，复数名词通常被认为是先行词(即定语从句谓语用复数)，除非one of前有the (only) 修饰(此时定语从句的谓语用单数)：

He is one of the people who were killed in the accident. 他是事故中丧命的人之一。 He is the only one of the people who was killed in the accident. 他是事故中惟一丧命的人。

几个容易弄错的主谓一致问题

1.“many a +名词”和“more than one +名词”作主语 谓语动词的数通常用单数(即遵循语法一致的原则)： Many a child was playing there. 很多小孩在那儿玩。

More than one student has failed the exam. 不止一个学生考试未及格。

2. each 用于复数名词后作同位语 此时谓语动词用复数：

They each have an English-Chinese dictionary. 他们每人都有一本英汉词典。 The young people each carry a big bag. 这些年轻人个个背着一个大袋子。

3. 主语后接in addition to, with, along with, together with, except, but等介词 其后的动词形式取决介词前主语：

Nothing but trees was to be seen. 除了树木之外什么也看不见。

No one except my parents knows anything about this. 除我父母外没人知道此事。 Jim, together with his classmates, has seen the film. 吉姆和他的同学都看过这部电影。

4. means作主语

名词means(方法)单数与复数同形，用作主语时，其谓语的单复数要视具体含义而定(尤其注意其前的修饰语)：

These means are very good. 这些方法很好。

Such a means is really unpleasant. 这样的方法确实是令人不愉快。 若没有特定的修饰语或语境，则用单数或复数谓语均可： There is [are] no good means. 没有好的方法。

Are [Is] there any other means of doing it? 做这事还有其他的什么办法吗?

a (the) number of…作主语时谓语的数

一、“the number +复数名词”作主语，谓语用单数。如：

The number of the students increased to 500. 学生人数增加到了500人。 The number of students absent is 6. 缺席的学生人数为6。 The number of jobs is increasing. 工作的数目正在增加。 The number of chairs in the room is ten. 屋内椅子共有十把。 The number of the unemployed is still increasing. 失业的人还在增加。 The number of cars has greatly in creased. 轿车的数量大大地增加了。 The number of stamp-collectors is growing apace. 集邮者的人数在迅速增加。 And here are the main points of the news again. The pound has fallen against the dollar. The Prime Minister has said that the government’s economic policies are working. The number of unemployed has reached five million. There has been a fire... 下面把新闻要点再说一遍。英镑对美元的比价已经下跌。首相说政府的经济政策正在起作用。失业人数已经达到500万。发生了一场大火……

二、“a number of+复数名词”作主语，谓语用复数。如： A number of people were injured. 不少人受了伤。

There were a number of swans on the lake. 湖上有好些天鹅。

There are a number of factors which we’re to consider. 有很多因素我们需要考虑。 A number of houses were burned down in the fire. •在火灾中烧掉了不少房子。 A large number ofpeople have come to see the exhibition. 许多人来看展览会。 A number of workers have recently left the company. 最近有很多工人辞掉了工作。 A number of veterans have retired and some are ready to. 很多老队员已退役，另一些也准备退役。

A number of people have tried to find the treasure, but they have all failed. 许多人都努力寻找宝藏，但是他们都失败了。

“the+形容词”作主语时的主谓一致

一、“the+形容词”作主语时，若指一类人，则谓语用复数。如： The young are mostly ambitious. 年轻人多半有雄心。

The sick and the wounded were sent home. 伤病员都送回家了。 The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. 富者愈富，贫者愈贫。

The injured were carried away on stretchers. 用担架把受伤的人抬走了。

The old are more likely to catch cold than the young. 老年人比年轻人更容易感冒。

二、若指个别或抽象概念，谓语用单数。如：

The beautiful is not always the useful. 美的并不总是有用的。

The unknown is always something to be feared. 未知的东西总是一种令人害怕的东西。 The beautiful is not always the good, and the good is not always the true. 美未必是善，善未必是真。

注：有个别的“the+形容词”结构既表示单数意义，也表示复数意义，若用作主语，谓语动词用单数还是复数需视情况而定。如：the good 指“好人”时表复数意义，指“善”时表单数意义;the accused 指一名被告时表单数意义，指多名被告时表复数意义。比较：

The accused was acquitted of the charge. 被告被宣告无罪。(指一人) The accused were acquitted of the charge. 被告均被宣告无罪。(指多人)

many a与more than one作主语时谓语的数

many a的意思是“许多”，more than one的意思是“不止一个”，从意义上，它们表示复数，但用作主语时，谓语却习惯上用单数。如：

■ many a

Many a fine man has died in that battle. 许多优秀的士兵死于那次战役。 Many a ship has been wrecked on those rocks. 许多船只毁于那些礁石之上。 Many a young man has tried and failed. 很多年轻人都试过，而且失败了。

Many a successful store has paid its rent cheerfully. 许多成功的店铺都非常乐意地付了房租。

■ more than one More than one man has been dismissed. 不止一人被解雇了。

More than one person is involved in this. 与此事有牵连的人不止一个。

If things don’t get better, more than one person is going to have to find a new job. 如果情况没有好转，需要另谋新工作的就不是个别人了。

比较：

Many a boy likes swimming.=Many boys like swimming. 许多男孩子喜欢游泳。 More than one student has read the book.=More students than one have read the book. 不止一个学生读过这书。

时间、距离、金额作主语时的主谓一致

表示时间、距离、度量、重量、金额等的复数名词作主语，被看作整体时，谓语动词用单数;若强调个体也可以复数。如：

Twenty years is a long time. 二十年是很长时间。

Two kilometers is a long way to go on foot. 步行两千米是一段很长的路程。 Six months have passed, and we still have no news of them. 六个月过去了，我们依然没有他们的消息。

比较：

Ten dollars is too much for this old coin. 这个古币没有10块钱这么高的价格。 Three dollars were paid for the old coin. 那个古钱花了3块钱。

Twenty years is a long time. 20年是一段很长的时间。

Twenty years have passed since they got married. 他们结婚已有20年了。

单复数同形的名词作主语

有的名词单数与复形同形，如means(方法), sheep(绵羊), fish(鱼), series(系列), works(工厂)等，当它们用作主语时，其谓语的数需根据这些名词的实际意义来确定(到底表示单数还是复数)，此时要特别注意其修饰语和上下文语境。如：

Every possible means has been tried. 每种可能的办法都试过了。 All possible means have been tried. 所有可能的办法都试过了。 注：若没有特定的修饰语或语境，则用单数或复数谓语均可。如： Are [Is] there any other means of doing it? 做这事还有其他的什么办法吗?

非谓语动词作主语时的主谓一致

非谓语动词(主要指不定式或动名词)作主语时，谓语动词通常用单数。如： 1. 动名词作主语

Having to change trains is a small inconvenience. 换乘火车多少有些不便。 Being deaf and dumb makes communication very difficult. 又聋又哑很难与人交往。 Watching the event on television was a poor substitute for actually being there. 从电视上观看那个比赛比现场观看可差远了。

Writing a book was a more difficult job than he’d thought. 写书这工作可比他原来想像的难得多。

2. 不定式作主语

To have told my secret would have given me away. 要是讲出了我的秘密就是把我自己出卖了。

连词or与主谓一致

这类并列主语中谓语应与哪个保持一致?你知道吗? ■You or he __________ to blame. ■_________ you or he to blame? A. is，Is B. are，Are C. is，Are D. are，Is 此题应选C。在通常情况下，两个并列主语由or，either...or，neither...nor，not...but，not only...but (also)等连接时，其谓语通常与第二个主语(即临近的一个主语) 保持一致：

1. One or two days _________ enough to see the city.

A. is B. are C. am D. be 2. Neither my wife nor I myself _________ able to persuade my daughter to change her mind.

A. is B. are C. am D. be 3. Not only I but also Jane and Mary __________ tired of having one examination after another.

A. is B. are C. am D. be 4. Not the teacher，but the students _________ looking forward to seeing the film. A. is B. are C. am D. be 注意在疑问句中则通常与第一个主语 (即临近的一个主语)保持一致： a. You or he is to blame. 你或他有一人要受责备。 b. Are you or he to blame? 受责备的是你还是他? 顺便说一句，在现代英语中用neither...nor，either...or等连接主语时也可一律用复数(但考生在应试时应避免)。

答案：1. B 2. C 3. B 4. B

并列主语受every, each修饰时谓语用单数还是复数

请看两个句子：

Every boy and girl __________ the film. Each boy and girl __________ the film. A. likes，likes B. like，like C. likes，like D. like，likes

此题应选A。该题容易误选B，认为主语部分含有 boy 和girl 两部分，应该用复数。其实当两个并列主语受到 each，every，no等词修饰时，其谓语通常要用单数：

Each boy and (each) girl was in white. 每个男孩和女孩都穿着白衣服。

Every man and woman was interested in it. 每一个男人和女人都对此感兴趣。

Each book and each paper was in proper place. 每本书和每张报纸都摆放得井井有条。 Every man and (every) woman in the village knows this. 这个村子里的男男女女都知道这事。

Every boy and every girl is given an apple. 每个男孩和每个女孩都被发给一个苹果。 No teacher and (no) student was present. 没有一个老师和学生出席。

He listened carefully，but no sound and no voice was heard. 他仔细地听，但是没听到一点声音。

is a 还是 are a

谓语应该跟主语一致还是跟表语一致，请看下面一题：

We Chinese __________ a hard-working people.

A. is B. are C. is being D. are being

此题应选B。这里考生要注意的是：我们通常说的是主谓一致(即谓语与主语保持一致)，而不是表谓一致(即不是谓语与表语一致)，本题意为：我们中国人是一个勤劳的民族。

注意以下类似例子：

These two dictionaries are a present for my best friend Jim. 这两本词典是我送给我最好朋友吉姆的礼物。

The planets were the object of his study. 这些行星是他研究的目标。

The most important thing I need is books. 我需要的最重要的东西是书。

The country’s leading export is watches. 这个国家的主输出品是手表。

The best part of the meal is the coffee and cookies. 这餐饭最好的部分是咖啡和饼干。

但是有些主语由于本身具有单数和复数两种可能，它的谓语到底用单数还是复数，要看具体的语境(多数情况是看其后面词语的单复数)：

1. a. Who is your brother? 谁是你的兄弟?

b. Who are your brothers? 哪些是你的兄弟?

2. a. What he said is quite correct. 他所说的完全正确。

b. What he left me are only a few old books. 他 给我留下的只是几本旧书。

谓语应该跟主语一致还是跟表语一致

有这样一道题：

We Chinese __________ a hard-working people. A. is B. are C. is being D. are being 此题应选B。这里考生要注意的是：我们通常说的是主谓一致(即谓语与主语保持一致)，而不是表谓一致(即不是谓语与表语一致)，本题意为：我们中国人是一个勤劳的民族。

注意以下类似例子()：

These two dictionaries are a present for my best friend Jim. 这两本词典是我送给我最好朋友吉姆的礼物。

The planets were the object of his study. 这些行星是他研究的目标。 The most important thing I need is books. 我需要的最重要的东西是书。 The country’s leading export is watches. 这个国家的主输出品是手表。

The best part of the meal is the coffee and cookies. 这餐饭最好的部分是咖啡和饼干。 但是有些主语由于本身具有单数和复数两种可能，它的谓语到底用单数还是复数，要看具体的语境(多数情况是看其后面词语的单复数)：

1. a. Who is your brother? 谁是你的兄弟? b. Who are your brothers? 哪些是你的兄弟? 2. a. What he said is quite correct. 他所说的完全 正确。

b. What he left me are only a few old books. 他 给我留下的只是几本旧书。

“主语+介词短语”作主语时的主谓一致

按英语习惯，介词短语通常不用作主语，所以当主语后跟有一个介词短语时，其后谓语动词的数只与介词短语前面的主语保持一致，而与介词短语无关。如：

A woman with two children has come. 一位妇女带着两个孩子已经来了。

Everybody but you knows what was happening. 除了你以外，人人都知道出了什么事。 The teacher, together with some of his pupils, was cleaning the room. 教师和他的一些学生一起在打扫教室。

以下两例中的 as well as 也可视为介词，其后谓语与 as well as 前面的主语保持一致： The students as well as the teacher were present at the meeting. 学生和他们的老师出席了会议。

I as well as they am ready to help you. 不仅他们愿意帮助你，我也愿意帮助你。

从句作主语时的主谓一致

从句(即主语从句)作主语时，谓语动词通常用单数。如：

Whoever told you that was lying. 不管这话是谁对你说的，都是撒谎。

Whichever climber gets to the top first will get a ￡5,000 prize. 不管是谁首先爬到山顶都将获得5000英镑的奖金。

Whether he has signed the contract or not doesn’t matter. 他是否在合同上签了字，是无关紧要的。

What he chiefly wished for was a chance to explain. 他主要希望能有一个解释的机会。 注：当主语从句后接的表语时复数时，有时也可用复数谓语。如： What she needs is (are) friends. 她需要的是朋友。

one in [out of]…作主语时的主谓一致

当one in…或one out of…用作主语时，其后谓语动词通常用单数，因为真正用作主语的是one。如：

Only one in ten students has passed the examination. 只有十分之一的学生通过了考试。 One out of twelve bottles was broken. 每12个瓶子中有一个破了。 但是，在非正式文体中有时也用复数谓语。如：

Nationwide, one in five adults are illiterate. 就全国范围而言，五个成年人中有一个是文盲。

means作主语时谓语动词用单数还是复数

means 表单数意义还是复数意义? 用作主语时，谓语动词用单数还是复数?如：

All possible means __________ been tired. Every possible means __________ been tired. A. have，have B. has，has C. have，has D. has，have

此题应选C。名词means(方法)的单复数同形，用作主语时，其谓语的单复数要视具体含义而定：

1. 如果means与all，such，these，those等词连用，则其含义应该是复数： These means are very good. 这些方法很好。

Such means sound interesting，but in fact they’reimpossible. 那样的方法听起来有趣，但实际上是不可能的。

2. 如果means与a，such a，this，that，every等词连用，则其含义应该是单数：

Such a means is really unpleasant. 这样的方法确实是令人不愉快。 There is an effective means of doing it. 做此事有一种很有效的方法。

3. 有时从句意和上下文无法确定means 到底是单数还是复数，则其谓语用单数或复数均可以：

做这事还有其他的什么办法吗? 正：Are there any other means of doing it? 正：Is there any other means of doing it? 没有好的方法。

正：There is no good means. 正：There are no good means.

不定代词作主语的主语一致归纳

1. 单数型：someone, anyone, no one, everyone, something, nothing等复合不定代词作主语，谓语用单数;either, neither, each, little, much 等不定代词作主语时，谓语也用单数。如：

Nothing is yet certain. 一切都还没有肯定。 Neither was satisfactory. 两者都不使人满意。

No one goes to the school during the vacation. 假期时没人到学校去。 2. both, few, several, many作主语：此时谓语要用复数。如： Few of them are any good. 它们没有几个有用。

Many have given their lives in the cause of truth. 为了真理许多人献出了生命。 3. all 作主语：若指人，谓语用复数;若指事物或现象，谓语通常用单数。如： All are equal before the law. 法律面前，人人平等。 All is well that ends well. 结局好一切都好。

注：若all 后修饰有其他名词或接有“of+名词”，则其谓语与其中名词的数保持一致。 All (of) the money is mine. 所有这些钱都是我的。 All (of) his friends are poor. 他所有的朋友都很穷。

4. none (of) 作主语：若指不可数名词，谓语用单数;若指复数可数名词，谓语可用单数(较正式)或复数(非正式)。如：

None of the rooms are ready. 房间一个也没准备好。 None of this milk can be used. 这牛奶一点都不能用了。 None of the telephones is [are] working. 没有一部电话中是好的。

5. the rest 作主语：指不可数名词时谓语用单数，指可数名词时谓语用复数。如： The rest of the money is yours. 剩余的钱归你。 The rest are arriving later. 其他人稍候就到。
