1 主谓一致讲解和训练谓语受主语支配， 须和主语在人称和数上保持一致，这叫做主谓一致。 主谓一致一般遵循三条原则：语法一致原则，意义一致原则和就近一致原则。一、“三个一致”原则1. 语法一致的原则（1）以单数名词或代词，动词不定式短语作主语时，谓语动词要用单数; 主语为复数时，谓语用复数，例如：He goes to school early every morning.The children are playing outside.To work hard is necessary for a student.（2）由 and或 both and连接的并列成分作主语时， 谓语动词用复数。 例如：Both he and I are right.Mr. Black and Mrs. Black have a son called Tom.但并列主语如果指的是同一人， 同一事物或同一概念， 谓语动词用单数。例如：His teacher and friend is a beautiful girl. The poet and writer has come.（3）由 and 连接的并列单数主语之前如果分别由each, every修饰时，其谓语动词要用单数形式。例如： In our country every boy and every girl has the right to receive education. Each man and each woman is asked to help.（4）主语是单数时，尽管后面跟有 but ,except, besides, with 等介词短语，谓语动词仍用单数。例如：The teacher with his students is going to visit the museum.Nobody but two boys was late for class.Bread and butter is a daily food in the west.（5） 一些只有复数形式的名词，如people, police, cattle, clothes等作主语时，谓语动词要用复数。例如：A lot of people are dancing outside.The police are looking for lost boy.（6）由 each, some, any, no, every 构成的复合代词作主语时，谓语动词都用单数。例如： Is everybody ready? Somebody is using the phone.（7）有两部分构成的物体的名词，如glasses, shoes, trousers, chopsticks, scissors 等作主语时，谓语动词用复数。例如： Where are my shoes? I cant find them. Your trousers are dirty. Youd better change them.如果这类名词前用了a pair of等，则往往用作单数，谓语动词的单复数形式往往取决于pair 的单复数形式。例如：精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 1 页，共 9 页2 Here are some new pairs of shoes. My new pair of socks is on the bed.2. 意义一致的原则（1）表时间、距离、价格、度量衡等的名词作主语时，谓语动词通常用单数。例如：Twenty years is not a long time.Ten dollars is too dear.（2）有些集合名词，如family, team等作主语时，如作为一个整体看待，谓语动词用单数；如指其中每个成员，则用复数。例如：My family is big one.My family are watching TV.（3）不定代词由 all, most, more, some, any, none作主语时，也要依这些代词表示的意义来决定谓语动词的单复数形式。如果代词代表复数可数名词，谓语动词用复数； 如果代词代表单数可数名词或不可数名词，谓语动词用单数。例如：All of the work has been finished.All of the people have gone.（4）疑问代词作主语时，其谓语动词也有两种情况：主语表示复数意义，谓语动词用复数；主语表示单数意义，则谓语动词用单数。例如： Who is your brother? Who are League members?（5）“分数或百分数 +of+名词”构成的词组作主语时，其谓语动词要以of后面的名词而定。名词是复数，谓语动词用复数：名词是单数，谓语动词用单数。例如： It is said that 35 per cent of the doctors are women. Three fourths of the surface of the earth is sea.（6）half, the rest 等表示不定数量的名词作主语时，如果所指为复数意义，动词用复数；如果所指为单数意义，动词用单数。例如： I have read a large part of the book, the rest is more difficult. Only ten students attended the class because all the rest were off sick.（7）由 what 引导地主于从句作主语时，通常谓语动词用单数形式。但如果所指内容为复数意义时，谓语动词用复数形式。例如： What she said is correct. What she left me are a few old books.（8）凡是以“定冠词 +形容词（或分词）”作主语，往往根据意义一致的原则决定谓语动词的单复数形式。 如果这种主语指的是一类人， 谓语动词用复数；如果指的是一个人或抽象概念，谓语动词用单数形式。例如： The sick have been cured and the lost have been found. The dead is a famous person.3. 邻近一致 ( 就近一致 ) 的原则精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 2 页，共 9 页3 （1）由连词 or, either or, neither nor, not only but also,等连接的并列主语， 如果一个是单数， 一个是复数， 则谓语动词按就近一致原则，与最靠近它的主语一致。例如：Either you or I am right.Neither the children nor the teacher knows anything about it.（2）在“ There be ” 句型中 , 谓语动词和靠近的主语一致。 There are two apples and one egg in it. （3）as well as 和名词连用时 , 谓语动词和第一个名词相一致。 He as well as I is responsible for it. 不但是我，他对这件事也有责任。（4）以 here 开头的句子，其谓语动词和靠近的主语一致。 Here is a letter and some books for you. 二、主谓一致常考情况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 / are）Tom s. 这张桌子是汤姆的。Some water _（is / are）in the bottle. 一些水在瓶子里。 The students _（is / are）playing football on the playground. 这些学生正在操场上踢足球。2. more than one + 单数名词作主语，谓语用单数。More than one student _（ has / have） ever been to Beijing. 不止一个学生曾经去过北京。3. 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。 Two months _（is / are）a long holiday. 两个月是一个长假。 Twenty pounds _ （is / are）not so heavy. 2 0磅并不太重。 Ten miles _（is / are）not a long distance. 1 0 英里并不是一段很长的距离。 Five minus four _（is / are）one. 5 减 4 等于 1。4. 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 / have ）got a seat.每个男孩和女孩都有一个座位。 Every man and every woman _（is / are）at work. 每个男人和女人都在工作。5. one and a half + 复数名词作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。One and a half hours _（is / are）enough. 一个半小时足够了。6. 动词不定式，动名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。To see _ （is / are）to believe. 眼见为实。 Doing eye exercises _（is / are）good for your eyes.做眼睛保健操对你的眼睛十分有益。7. a/an+ 单数名词 +or two 作主语，谓语动词用单数。精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 3 页，共 9 页4 A student or two _ （like / likes ） to listen to this new teacher s class. 一两个学生喜欢听这位新老师的课。8. 当主语部分 ( 主语是单数时 ) 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 / have ）been to England. 迈克同他的父亲去过英格兰。 Mike, like his brother, _ （enjoy / enjoys ） playing football. 迈克像他的哥哥一样喜欢踢足球。 The students as well as the teacher _（was / were）present at the meeting. 开会的时候，学生们和老师都在场。9. 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 / are）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 _（is / are）coming. 作家和老师来了。 (作家和老师是两个人 ) A knife and fork _（is / are）on the table. 桌子上放着一副刀叉。10. people, police等集体名词作主语，谓语动词用复数形式；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，若指一个一个的具体成员时，谓语动词复数形式。 People here _（is / are）very friendly. 这儿的人很友好。His family _（is / are）not large. 他家的人不多。My family all _（like / likes）watching TV. 我们一家人都喜欢看电视。11. 不定代词 somebody, someone, something, anybody, anything, everybody, everyone, nobody, everything, no one, nothing作主语，谓语动词用单数。 _（Is / Are）everyone here today? 今天大家到齐了吗？ Something _ （is / are）wrong with him. 他有毛病。 Nobody _（was / were ）in. 没有人在家。12. each, either, neither, another, the other 作主语，谓语动词用单数。 Each of them _（has / have）an English dictionary. 他们每人都有一本英语词典。 Neither answer _（is / are）correct. 两个答案都不正确。13. 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 / are）good news. 没有消息就是好消息。精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 4 页，共 9 页5 Maths _ （is / are）very popular in our class 在我们班数学很受欢迎。14. 由 bothand连接两个单数名词作主语时，谓语动词通常用复数形式；由or, eitheror ， neithernor , not onlybut 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。但是如果 either, each, neither作主语，则动词为单数形式。Either my wife or I _（am / is / are）going.
