高中主谓一致讲义（精选6篇）
一）句子中谓语动词的数必须与主语的数保持一致。
二）三原则：语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近原则。
二、语法一致原则
主语的单复数决定谓语动词的单复数。
一）主语是单数，谓语动词用单数；主语是复数，谓语动词用复数。
The results of the research are to be published soon.His suggestion has been accepted.二）复合不定代词someone，anyone，everyone，nobody，something，anything，everything，nothing等作主语，谓语动词用单数。
If anyone sees Lisa, ask her to call me.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.三）each of+名词复数作主语，谓语动词用单数形式；但名词复数+each作主语，谓语动词用复数形式。
Each of the students has an apple.The students each have an apple.四）代词all作主语，若指人，谓语动词用复数；若指事物或现象，谓语动词用单数。
All are equal before the law.All is well that ends well.五）不定式(短语), 动名词(短语), 或从句作主语时, 谓语动词用单数。如：
Serving the people is my great happiness.When we’ll go out for an outing has been decided.三、意义一致原则
一）形式为单数但意义为复数概念的词，如police，cattle等作主语，谓语动词用复数。
The police have not made any arrests.二）“the+adj/分词”或者“the+姓氏复数”作主语，谓语动词用复数。
The rich are to help the poor.The Greens are going to London.三）English, Chinese, Japanese等与the连用时表示复数意义，作主语时，谓语动词用复数。
The Chinese are kind and friendly.四）以-s结尾名词，如news, maths, plastic及以-ics结尾的学科名称名词，如physics, politics等做主语，谓语动词必须用单数。
Physics is my favorite subject.Bad news has wings.五）单复数同形的名词sheep, deer, means, works等作主语，谓语动词的数与实际意义一致。
Three sheep are eating grass there
A sheep is lying there.六）family, class, group, team，audience, committee, government, team等有生命意义的集体名词做主语时，如强调整体，谓语动词用单数；如被看作组成该集体的一个个成员，谓语动词用复数。
The class consists of 25 boys and 20 girls.The class are doing experiments.四、就近原则
or, either… or…, neither… nor…, not only… but also…, not…but…在句子中连接并列主语的时候或者在there be句型中，谓语动词要和离它最近的主语保持一致。

一、授课时间：2012年1月4日
二、授课内容：语法点主谓一致讲解
三、授课重难点：
1、授课重点：主谓一致三原则：语法一致；意义一致;就近一致原则
2、授课难点：主谓一致常考题型
四：授课过程 Step I 课程引入
由三个例句导入主谓一致的概念 1.I am a student.2.They are students.3.She is a teacher.我们可以看出主语不同，谓语动词的形式就不同
主谓一致：谓语动词的人称和数随着主语的人称和数的变化而变化。Step II 讲述
一、主谓一致遵循三个原则：语法一致；意义一致;就近一致原则
分别对每个原则中的每一项进行讲解，并且举出例句，和学生互动。
1.语法一致原则：指主语是单数形式，谓语动词用单数形式，主语是复数形式，谓语也用复数形式。
Tom is a good student.汤姆是个好学生。
They often play football on the playground.他们经常在操场上踢足球。2.意义一致：指主语形式上为单数，但意义为复数，因此谓语动词用复数形式；或主语形式上为复数,但表示单数意义，这是谓语动词用单数形式。
My family are having lunch now.我们一家人现在正吃午饭。
Twenty dollars is too expensive for the book.这本书20美元太贵了。
3.就近一致：指谓语动词用单数形式还是用复数形式，取决于最靠近他的主语。例如：
Not only the teacher but also his students like playing football.不仅老师喜欢踢足球，而且他的学生也喜欢踢足球。
There is a pen and some books on the desk.课桌上有一支钢笔和一些书。
4.就远一致：指谓语动词用单数形式还是用复数形式，取决于离他远的主语。9.当主语部分含有with，together with，along with，as well as，besides，except，but，like 等介词或介词短语时，谓语动词用单数形式；但“名词+as well as+名词”时，谓语动词一般应与第一个名词一致。
Mike with his father has been to England.迈克同他的父亲去过英格兰。
Mike,like his brother,enjoys playing football 迈克像他的哥哥一样喜欢踢足球。
The students as well as the teacher were present at the meeting.二、主谓一致细致讲解
（一）语法一致原则：
1.单数名词(代词)，不可数名词作主语时，谓语用单数形式，复数名词(代词)作主语，谓语用复数形式。
The desk is Tom’s.这张桌子是汤姆的。
Some water is in the bottle.一些水在瓶子里。
The students are playing football on the playground.这些学生正在操场上踢足球。
2.由and 或both...and连接的两个可数名词或不可数名词做主语时，谓语动一般用复数。
Tom and mike are good friends.Both bread and butter are sold out.Meat and rice are my favourite food.3.不定代词somebody, someone, something, anybody, anything, everybody, everyone, everything, nobody, no one, nothing作主语，谓语动词用单数。Is everyone here today.今天大家到齐了吗？ Something is wrong with him.他有毛病。Nobody was in.没有人在家。
4.each, either, neither, another, the other 作主语，谓语动词用单数。Each of them has an English dictionary.他们每人都有一本英语词典。Neither answer is correct.两个答案都不正确。
尤其注意主语是each/every+单数名词+and(each/every)+单数名词时，谓语动词用单数。
Each boy and each girl has got a seat.每个男孩和女孩都有一个座位。
Every man and every woman is at work.每个男人和女人都在工作。
5.a number of +名词复数，动词要用复数形式;.而the number of +复数名词作主语，谓语动词用单数。(重点）
A number of trees are cut down.The number of the students is over eight hundred.6.“a lot of,lots of,plenty of ,most of +名词”作主语，谓语动词的单复数形式取决于所加的名词。
Plenty of the water was polluted.A lot of students pass the exam.7.某些只有复数的名词如trousers,shoes,gloves,glasses等作主语时，谓语动词用复数；但是由“a pair of +此类复数名词”作主语，谓语动词用单数； 由“pairs of +此类复数名词”作主语，谓语动词用复数； The shoes are for you.A pair of glasses is lying on the table.Fifteen pairs of shoes are made every day.8.动词不定式，动名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。
To see is to believe 眼见为实。
Doing eye exercises is good for your eyes.做眼睛保健操对你的眼睛十分有益。
9.在定语从句中，关系代词that, who,which等作主语时，其谓语动词的数与先行词保持一致.This is the man who wants to see you.The girls who are coming soon are my students.10.由what引导的主语从句，主句谓语动词一般用单数形式，但如果表示复数意义，主句谓语动词则用复数形式。What we need now is time.What he left me are only some old books.3
(二）意义一致：
1.由and连接的两个单数名词作主语时，一般用复数形式，但and所连接的并列主语是同一个人，事物，或概念时，谓语动词用单数。这两种情况区分如下：a/the+单数名词+and+单数名词，指的是同一个人或物；a/the+单数名词+and+a/the+单数名词，指两个人或物。The writer and teacher is coming.那位作家兼教师来了。(作家和教师指同一个人)The writer and the teacher are coming.作家和老师来了。(作家和老师是两个人)2.表示时间，价格，重量，数目，长度，数学运算等的词或短语作主语时，这些通常作一个整体概念，谓语用单数形式。例如：
Two months is a long holiday.两个月是一个长假。Twenty pounds isn’t so heavy.2 0英镑并不太重。
Ten miles isn’t a long distance.1 0英里并不是一段很长的距离。Five minus four is one.5减4等于1。
3.people,police等集体名词作主语，谓语动词用复数形式。
People here are very friendly.这儿的人很友好。
4.family,class,group,team等集体名词作主语，若指一个整体时，谓语动词用单数形式，若指一个具体成员时，谓语动词复数形式。（难点）His family isn’t large.他家的人不多。
My family all like watching TV.我们一家人都喜欢看电视。
5.以—s 结尾的名词本身不表示复数意义，谓语通常用单数形式，如news, maths, physics等，No news is good news.没有消息就是好消息。
Maths is very popular in our class 在我们班数学很受欢迎。
6.none作主语时，谓语动词多用复数形式，但作为单数看待时，谓语动词用单数形式,取 决于后面所接的名词。
None of the advice was accepted.None of the children of the family are interested in art.7.some,any,all,more,most,the rest of ,分数或百分数作主语时，谓语动词要与它们指代的名词保持一致。
Two thirds of the apples remain green.Three fifths of the money was spent on clothes.8.the+形容词表示一类人时，谓语动词用复数形式，表示抽象概念时，用单数形式.The poor are very happy,but the rich are sad.The beautiful lives forever.美是永存的。9.the+姓氏表示一家人时，谓语动词用复数形式。The Whites are watching TV.(三）邻近一致原则（就近原则）
1、由or, either„or„，neither„nor„, not only„but also„, not„but„,连接两个名词或代词作主语时，根据就近原则决定谓语动词形式。（重点）
Either my wife or I am going.Neither you, nor I, nor anyone else knows the answer.Not only you but also he is ready to leave.2．以here，there开关的句子，若主语在两个或两个以上，谓语动词通常与临近的主语一致

以上仅从七个方面归纳了主谓一致的特殊情况,但在实际学习中还不止这些,希望同学们在以后的学习中对此多加留意,以不断丰富、充实其内容,为未来高考做好准备。
一、由there或here引起的句子,谓语动词和后面的真实主语保持一致。如果主语是两个或更多个名词组成的短语,谓语动词通常和第一个名词保持一致。如:
There is a pen and some books on the desk. 课桌上有一支钢笔和一些书。
There are two rulers and a knife in the pencil-box. 铅笔盒里有两把尺子和一把小刀。
考例:——There ____ a lot of meat on the plate. Would you like some?
——Just a little, please. (08年北京市)
A. isB. areC. amD. be
解析:选A。此题的真实主语meat是不可数名词,所以应填动词is。
二、由and或both…and…连接的并列名词作主语时,谓语动词要用复数形式。如:
Tom and Mike are good friends. 汤姆和迈克是好朋友。
Both Lucy and Lily are students. 露西和莉莉都是学生。
考例:Both Jim and Kate ____ in Beijing now. They both ____ from America. (08年汕头市)
A. is; comeB. are; comeC. is; comesD. are; comes
解析:选B。由both…and…连接的两个名词作主语,谓语动词应用复数形式。
三、“a number of+复数名词或代词”作主语,表示“许多……”,“一些……”之意时,谓语动词一般用复数;“the number of+复数名词或代词”作主语,表示“……的数目”,“……的数量”时,谓语动词一般用单数。如:
A number of students are playing basketball on the playground.
许多学生正在操场上打篮球。
The number of the students in our school is more than two thousand.
我们学校的学生人数超过两千。
考例:The number of ____ in our class ____ fifty. (08年烟台市)
A. student; isB. the students; areC. the students; isD. students; are
解析:选C。the number of(……的数量)后接复数名词,但谓语动词应用单数。
四、当动名词、不定式或从句作主语时,谓语动词要用单数形式。如:
To see is to believe. 眼见为实。
考例:Swimming in the pool with friends ____ very interesting. (08年攀枝花市)
A. hasB. haveC. isD. are
解析:选C。动名词短语Swimming in the pool with friends 作句子的主语,be动词与形容词interesting一起构成系表结构。
五、由either…or…,neither…nor…,not only…but also…,or连接两个名词或代词作并列主语时,谓语动词要和最靠近的主语一致。如:
Neither you nor Li Hua has been to Beijing before. 你和李华以前都没去过北京。
考例:Either Mary or he ____ going to Paris. Only one person may go there. (08年黑龙江省)
A. areB. isC. was
解析:选B。be动词就应与he在人称和数上保持一致。此外,从Only one person may go there.可知,前句应用一般将来时,而非过去将来时。
六、主语后面跟有with, together with, along with, like, but, except, besides, including, rather than, as well as等引导的短语时,谓语动词通常和这些短语前面的名词或代词保持一致。如:
Tom with his parents goes to the park every day. 汤姆和他父母每天都一起去公园。
考例:Mr. Green with his wife ____ sitting there when I came in. (08年宁夏自治区)
A. isB. wasC. areD. were
解析:选B。此句的主语是Mr. Green,所以谓语动词应用单数形式。从时间状语when I came in可推断,主句应用过去进行时。
七、“one of+复数名词”意为“……之一”,作主语时谓语动词应用单数形式。如:
One of the most interesting subjects is English. 最有趣的科目之一是英语。
考例:One of my friends ____ already moved to London.(08年南宁市)
A. doB. does C. haveD. has
解析:选D。“one of+复数名词”作主语,谓语应用单数形式,且搬到伦敦是过去已经发生的事,应用现在完成时。
八、主谓一致与同位语无关。当主语后带有同位语时,谓语动词应与主语保持一致。如:
Our English teacher, Mrs Zhang, is strict with us. 我们的英语老师张老师对我们要求严格。
考例:The important sports festival, the Olympic Games, ____ held every ____ years.
(08年乌鲁木齐市)
A. is; fiveB. are; three C. is; fourD. are; two
解析:选C。此句的the Olympic Games是同位语,真正的主语是the important sports festival,所以谓语动词应用单数形式,又因为奥运会是每四年举行一次,所以应用every four years。
九、表示时间、距离、重量、金钱等名词短语作主语,表示整体概念时,其谓语动词用单数形式。如:
Two months is quite a long time. 两个月是相当长的一段时间。
考例:——Do you need more time to finish the work?
——Yes, another ten days ____ enough. (07年辽宁省)
A. are B. is C. wereD. was
解析:选B。此题中的“another ten days”“再有十天”为表时间的短语,应看作一个整体,所以谓语动词用单数形式。根据上下句可知该句应为一般现在时。

主谓一致是指主语与谓语在数上要一致。把握主谓一致问题，考生主要解决的是对不同结构的主语单复数的认定，进而选择适当的谓语。解决主谓一致主要遵循三个原则：
语法一致原则
意义一致原则
就近一致原则
很多情况下应该综合利用这三个原则来处理主谓一致，在不同情况下可能应用三个原则中的不同原则，具体应用哪种原则应该视具体情况而定。总结如下：
一.谓语动词用单数的情况
1.动名词短语、不定式短语、名词性从句做主语，谓语用单数。如：
Buying clothes is often a time-consuming job because those clothes that a person likes are rarely the cones that fit him or her.
(1987年考研题)
To understand the situation completely requires more thought than has been given thus far.
2.表示时间、距离、金额、重量、面积、体积、容积等度量的名词短语做主语时，谓语用单数。
Two weeks was too long
Five times five makes twenty five
3.一般用and连接的两个单词或短语做主语时候，谓语用复数，但是下面用and连接的主语表示一个概念，谓语用单数：
law and order 法制 soap and water 肥皂水
a cup and saucer 茶杯碟子 fork and knife 刀叉
the needle and thread 针线 trial and error 反复尝试，不断摸索
horse and carriage 马车 time and tide 岁月
bread and butter 奶油面包 the ebb and flow 盛衰，潮涨潮落
如： If law and order not preserved, neither the citizen nor his property is safe.
A. is B. are C. was d. were
答案：A。
4.表示学科和某些疾病名称的名词是复数形式，作主语时候谓语动词用单数形式
Linguistics is a branch of study on human language.
5.有些名词形式上是复数，意义上是单数，根据意义一致原则动词用单数
The chaos was stopped by the police
The news is a great encouragement to us
A series of debates between the lectures was scheduled for the next weekend.
6.用and 连接的成份表示一个单一概念时候，动词谓语用单数形式
Bread and butter is our daily food
Time and tide waits for no man
二. 谓语用复数情况
1. 由and, both …and, 连接的并列主语，和both ,a few, many ,several 等修饰语后面谓语动词通常用复数形式。
Few people know he and I were classmates when we were at college.
2.集体名词police, public, militia, cattle ,class ,youth后常用复数形式的动词
The Chinese people are brave and hardworking
The cattle are grazing in the sunshine
3.当表示民族的词与冠词合用当主语，谓语动词用复数形式
The Japanese were once very aggressive
4.某些形容词前面加定冠词表示一类人，做主语时候，谓语动词用复数
The rich are not always selfish
5.不可数名词作主语，其前有表示数量的.复数名词修饰时，谓语动词用复数
Three million tons of coal were exported that year
三.谓语动词可用单数，也可以用复数的情况
1. 就近一致原则
这种情况下，谓语动词使用单数还是复数取决于最靠近该动词的主语的单复数，存在这种情况的主要由以下几种可能：
1) 由连词 either…or…; neither…nor…; whether… or…;not only…but (also) ;or 等连接的并列主语
Neither money nor fame has influence on me
Not only you but also he is wrong
2) 在倒装结构中，谓语动词与后面的第一个主语一致
Blocking the open-sided porch, framed by the enveloping fog, stands a tall grave-faced policeman.
Just outside the ruins is a magnificent building surrounded by tall trees.
Although a great number of houses in that area are still in need of repair, there has been improvement in the facili
