语法复习专题主谓一致
一、考点聚焦
1、语法形式上的一致
主语为单数形式,谓语动词用单数形式;主语为复数形式,谓语动词也用复数形式。 The number of students in our school_________1,700.
Mary and Kelly________ alike.
2、意义上一致
(1)主语形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词用复数。
The crowd ______ runing for their lives.
单数形式代表复数内容的词有people、police、cattle等。
(2)主语形式为复数,而意义上却是单数,谓语动词用单数。
The news is very exciting.
形复意单的单词有new、works(工厂)、means和以ics结尾的学科名称physics、poli-tics、economics等。
3、就近原则。即谓语动词的单复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语。如果连词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,谓语动词与靠近它的主语一致。
Eg.Either you or I________ mad.
4、应注意的若干问题
(1)名词作主语。
①某些集体名词如family、team等作主语时,如果作为一个整体看待,谓语用单数,反之用复数。 My family_________going out for a trip.
The whole family _________ watching TV.
这类词常有audience、class club、committee、company、crew、crowd、enemy、government、group、party、public、team等。
Population和“a group(crowd)of + 复数名词”也适用于这种情况,强调整体用单数,强调各个部分用复数。
②某些集体名词如people、police、cattle、oxen只当复数看待,谓语动词必须用复数。
③单、复数同形的名词作主语时,谓语动词应根据意义决定单、复数。
A sheep ________over there. Some sheep________over there.
④名词所有格之后的名词被省略,这种情况一般只指商店、工场、住宅等;作主语时,动词一般用单数。 My uncle’s________not for from here.
常见的省略名词有the baker’s 、the barbar’s、the Zhang’s等。
表示店铺的名词一般作集体名词看待,但用作主语时,谓语动词往往用复数。如:
Richardson’s_________a lot of old goods to sell.
⑤当名词词组中心词为表示度量、距离、金额、时间、书名等复数名词时,往往可以根据意义一致的原则,把这些复数名词看作一个整体,谓语用单数。
Thirty years ________ passed. Five minutes _______enough to finish the task.
⑥不定代词each、every、no所修饰的名词即使以and或逗号连接成多主语时,谓语动词仍用单数形式。如:
Each boy and each girl in my class ________a dictionary.
⑦如果主语有more than one … 或many a … 构成,尽管从意义上看是复数内容,它的谓语动词用单数形式。 More than one student _____ seen the play.
Many a boy________ bought that kind of toy.
但是,“more + 复数名词 + than one”结构之后,谓语用复数。
⑧一些由两个部分构成的名词表示衣物或工具作主语时,谓语通常用复数形式。如glasses、clothes、trousers、shoes、compasses、chopsticks、scissors等。
但如果主语用a kind of、a pair of、a series of等加名词构成时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。 A pair of shoes ________ on the desk.
⑨this kind of book = a book of this kind(这种书),其谓语动词;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的谓语用单数,men of this kind和these kind of men的谓语用复数,all kinds of后跟复数名词,谓语用复数形式。如:
This kind of men _______dangerous. Men of theis kind/sort ________dangerous.
⑩复数形式的单、复数同形名词作主语时,按意义一致的原则,用作单数意义时,谓语用单数,反之,谓语用复数。这类名词有means、works、species(种类)、Chinese、Japanese等。当它们的前面有 a、such a、this、that修饰时,谓语用单数;有all、such、these、those修饰时,谓语用复数。
(11)如果名词词组中心词是all、most、half、rest等词语,所指是复数意义,谓语动词用复数形式,反之用单数。
All of my students work hard. All of the oil _______gone.
(12)在主谓倒装的句子中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如:
Between the two windows __________an oil painting.(hang)
(2)由连接词连接的名词作主语。
①用and或both … and 连接并列主语,谓语动词通常用复数形式。但如果并列主语指的是同一个人,同一事物或同一概念时,谓语动词用单数形式,这时and后面的名词没有冠词。
Truth and honesty ________the best policy.
To love and to be loved _______the great happiness.
Going to bed early and getting up early _______a good habit.
A knife and fork_________ on the table.
②当主语后面跟有as well as、as much as、no less than、along with、with、like、rather than、together with、but、except、besides、including、in addition to等引导的词组时,采取“就远原则”。
③以or、either … or、neigher … nor、not only … but also等连接的词作主语时,采取“就近原则”。
(3)代词作主语。
①名词型物主代词连接的动词,既可以用单数,也可以用复数,这取决于它所代替的是单数还是复数。 Ours (Our Party) ________a great Party.
Your shoes ________ white, mine (= my shoes)_______ black.
②such、the same起指示代词作用时,应根据其所指的内容来决定单、复数。
Such ________our plan. Such _________ his last words.
③关系代词who、that、which等在定语从句中作主语时,其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。
④疑问词who、what、which作主语时,谓语动词可根据说话人所要表达的意思决定单、复数。 Who lives next door? It________Xiao Liu.
Who lives next door? It __________Wang and Li.
⑤不定代词any、either、neither、none、all、some、more等作主语时,要注意下列情况:
(A)单独作主语时,视其在文中的意义,动词可用单数或复数形式。Now all has been changed. All are present.
(B)其后接of时,若of的宾语为不可数名词,动词用单数形式;若of的宾语为复数名词或代词时,动词可以是单数,也可以是复数;在正式文体中,单数形式的动词更常用。
Do (es) any of you know about the accident? None of us has(have) seen the film.
(4)分数、量词作主语。
①“分数或百分数 + 名词”构成的短语以及由“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, a large quantity of, a heap of, heaps of, half of + 名词”构成的短语作主语时,其谓语动词要与短语中of后面的名词的数保持一致,这是因为短语中后面的名词是中心词,而短语中前面的量词是修饰语。如:
Lots of damage_________caused by flood.
A number of students ________ gone to the countryside.
A large quantity of people _________needed here.
Quantities of food (nuts) ________ still on the table.
②a great deal of、a large amount of修饰不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数;large amounts of修饰不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数。
③表示数量的one and a half后,名词要用复数形式,但是其短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
One and a half apples________ left on the table.(be)
④half of、(a)part of修饰可数名词单数及不可数名词时,谓语动词用单数,修饰可数名词复数时,谓语动词用复数。
(5)名词化的形容词作主语。
如果主语由“the + 形容词(或分词)”结构担任时,谓语通常用复数。这类词有the rich、the poor、the brave、the injured、the living、the wounded等。如表抽象的也可以用单数,如the unknown、the beautiful等。
(6)从句作主语。
①由what引导的主语从句,谓语动词通常用单数,但所指的具体内容是复数意义时,谓语动词一般用复数形式。
What we need _________more money.
What we need__________ more people/teachers.
②在“one of + 复数名词 + who/that/which”引导的从句结构中,关系代词who/that/which的先行词是靠近它的复数名词而不是one,因此从句中的谓语动词也应该是复数形式。如one前有the only则用单数形式。
This________one of the most interesting stories that ______been told by my father.
She_________the only one of the girls who_________late for class today.
(7)不定式、名动词(短语)作主语用单数形式;There be句型中be的单复数取决于be后的第一个词的数。
There ______a book, two pens on the desk.
There ______two pens, a book on the desk.
二、精典名题导解
选择填空
1.-Each of the students, working hard at his or her lessons, _________to go to university.
-So do I .(上海 ) A.hope B.hopes C.hoping D.hoped
解析:答案为B。本题考查主谓一致中的意义一致原则,不定代词either、neither、each、one、the other、another以及所有的复合不定代词作主语时,谓语动词应根据意义一致的原则采用单数形式,排除A。选项C是非谓语动词的一种,不能单独作谓语,亦应排除。根据答语中的时态又可排除选项D。
2.The number of people invited _________ fifty, but a number of them __________ absent for different reasons.(NMET )
A.were; was B.was; was C.was; were D.were; were
解析:答案为C。本题考查the number of和a number of 的区别。“the number of + 复数名词/代词”结构中的中心词是number,“a number of + 复数名词/代词”结构中的中心词是of后的复数名词或代词,故谓语动词分别用单、复数。解题关键在于仔细区分哪个是真正的主语。

语法复习二、主谓一致
在英语句子里,谓语受主语支配,其动词必须和主语在人称和数上保持一致,这就叫主谓一致。寻其规律,大致可归纳为三个原则,即语法一致、逻辑意义一致和就近一致原则。
(一)语法一致原则:语法上一致就是谓语动词和主语在单、复数形式上保持一致。
1、以单数名词或代词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式;主语为复数时,谓语动词用复数形式。如:His father is working on the farm. / To study English well is not easy. / What he said is very important for us all. / The children were in the classroom two hours ago. / Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes.
注意:由what引导的主语从句,后面的谓语动词多数情况用单数形式,但若表语是复数或what从句是一个带有复数意义的并列结构时,主句的谓语动词用复数形式。如:What I bought were three English books. / What I say and do is (are) helpful to you.
2、由连接词and或both … and连接起来的合成主语后面,要用复数形式的谓语动词。如:Lucy and Lily are twins. / She and I are classmates. / The boy and the girl were surprised when they heard the news. / Both she and he are Young Pioneers.
注意:① 若and所连接的两个词是指同一个人或物时,它后面的谓语动词就应用单数形式。如:The writer and artist has come.; / ② 由and连接的并列单数主语前如果分别有no, each, every more than a (an) , many a (an)修饰时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。如:Every student and every teacher was in the room.. / No boy and no girl likes it.
3、主语为单数名词或代词,尽管后面跟有with, together with, except, but, like, as well as, rather than, more than, no less than, besides, including等引起的短语,谓语动词仍用单数形式;若主语为复数,谓语用复数形式。如:Mr Green, together with his wife and children, has come to China. / Nobody but Jim and Mike was on the playground. / She, like you and Tom, is very tall.
4、either, neither, each, every 或no +单数名词和由some, any, no, every构成的复合不定代词,都作单数看待。如:Each of us has a new book. / Everything around us is matter.
注意:① 在口语中当either或neither后跟有“of+复数名词(或代词)”作主语时,其谓语动词也可用复数。如:Neither of the texts is (are) interesting. ② 若none of后面的名词是不可数名词,它的谓语动词就要用单数;若它后面的名词是复数,它的谓语动词用单数或复数都可以。如:None of us has (have) been to America.
5、在定语从句时,关系代词that, who, which等作主语时,其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。如:He is one of my friends who are working hard. / He is the only one of my friends who is working hard.
6、如果集体名词指的是整个集体,它的谓语动词用单数;如果它指集体的成员,其谓语动词就用复数形式。这些词有family, class, crowd, committee, population, audience等。如:Class Four is on the third floor. / Class Four are unable to agree upon a monitor.
注意:people, police, cattle等名词一般都用作复数。如:The police are looking for the lost child.
7、由“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, the rest of, the majority of + 名词”构成的短语以及由“分数或百分数+名词”构成的短语作主语,其谓语动词的数要根据短语中后面名词的数而定。如:There are a lot of people in the classroom. / The rest of the lecture is wonderful. / 50% of the students in our class are girls.
注意: a number of“许多”,作定语修饰复数名词,谓语用复数;the number of“…的数量”,主语是number,谓语用单数。
8、在倒装句中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如:There comes the bus./ On the wall are many pictures. / Such is the result. / Such are the facts.
(二)逻辑意义一致原则:逻辑意义一致就是谓语动词的数必须和主语的意义一致(因有时主语形式为单数,但意义为复数;有时形式为复数,但意义为单数)。
1、what, who, which, any, more, all等代词可以是单数,也可是复数,主要靠意思来决定。如:Which is your bag? / Which are your bags? / All is going well. / All have gone to Beijing.
2、表示“时间、重量、长度、价值”等的名词的复数作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数形式, 这是由于作主语的名词在概念上是一个整体,如:Thirty minutes is enough for the work.
3、若英语是书名、片名、格言、剧名、报名、国名等的复数形式,其谓语动词通常用单数形式。如: “The Arabian Nights”is an interesting story-book.
4、表数量的短语“one and a half”后接复数名词作主语时,其谓语动词可用单数形式(也可用复数。如:One and a half apples is (are) left on the table.
5、算式中表示数目(字)的主语通常作单数看待,其谓语动词采用单数形式。如:Twelve plus eight is twenty. / Fifty-six divided by eight is seven.
6、一些学科名词是以 –ics 结尾,如:mathematics, politics, physics 以及news, works等,都属于形式上是复数的名词,实际意义为单数名词,它们作主语时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。如:The paper works was built in 1990. / I think physics isn’t easy to study.
7、trousers, glasses, clothes, shoes, 等词作主语时,谓语用复数,但如果这些名词前有a (the) pair of等量词修饰时,谓语动词用单数。如:My glasses are broken. / The pair of shoes under the bed is his.
8、“定冠词the + 形容词或分词”,表示某一类人时,动词用复数。
(三)就近一致原则:在英语句子中,有时谓语动词的人称和数与最近的主语保持一致。
1、当两个主语由either … or, neither … nor, whether … or …, not only … but also连接时,谓语动词和邻近的主语一致。如:Either the teacher or the students are our friends. / Neither they nor he is wholly right. / Is neither he nor they wholly right?
2、there be句型be动词单复数取决于其后的主语。如果其后是由and连接的两个主语,则应与靠近的那个主语保持一致。如:There are two chairs and a desk in the room..
注意:Here引导的句子用法同上。
练习:主谓一致

“主谓一致”与高考试题
“主谓一致”是重要的语法项目,也是学习难点和高考热点之一。因此,掌握好该语法点,对于面临高考的中学生来说,无疑是非常必要的。
英语中的一致是指句子成分之间或词语之间在人称、数、性、时态等方面保持一致,但最主要的是主语和谓语在数方面的一致关系。请看下面三道高考题:
1.Every possible means ____ to prevent the air pollution,but the sky is still not clear.(上海春招)
A.is used B.are used C.has been used D.have been used
2.____ of the land in that district ____ covered with trees and grass.(2000上海高考)
A.Two fifth...is B.Two fifth...are
C.Two fifths...is D.Two fifths...are
3.He is the only one of the students who ____ a winner of scholarship for three years.(上海春招)
A.is B.are C.have been D.has been
(Key:1-3 CCD)
从上面的考例可见“主谓一致”在中学英语中的重要地位。根据中学阶段所学内容,考生应掌握以下知识:
一、有生命意义的集体名词作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数形式。
常用的名词有:police(警察),cattle(牛),folk /folks(US)(人们),等等。如:
There were over 100 police on duty at the demonstration.游行期间有100多名警察值勤。
注:1.有些集体名词作主语时,如将其看作一个整体,谓语动词用单数;如将其作为个体成员看,谓语动词则用复数。常用的名词有:family(家庭;家庭成员),class(班级;班级学生),army(军队;士兵),committee(委员会;委员),team(队;队员),等等。如:
My family is a large one.我们家是个大家庭。
My family are watching TV now.我们家人现在正在看电视。
2.表示“某国人”的名词(如Chinese,Japanese,English,British,French等)作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。如:
The Chinese usually use chopsticks for meals,while the British use knives and forks.中国人通常用筷子吃饭,而英国人用刀叉吃饭。
但是,有些单复数同形的名词(如 Chinese,Japanese等)作主语时,如果指具体的某个人,其谓语动词应用单数。如:
That Japanese is a singer.那个日本人是个歌唱家。
3.有些表示某类别的总称的集体名词(如machinery〈机械〉,clothing〈衣服〉,luggage〈行李〉,furniture〈家具〉等)作主语时,谓语动词常用单数。如:
My luggage was sent by air.我的行李是航空邮寄的。
二、“-s”结尾的表示“学科”、“疾病名称”等名词作主语时,谓语动词常用单数。
常用的名词有:politics,maths, physics,AIDS,等等。如:
Maths is my favourite subject.数学是我最喜爱的学科。
三、表示某些由两部分组成的物体的名词作主语时,谓语动词常用复数形式。常用的名词有:trousers,chopsticks,scissors,glasses,gloves,shoes,slippers,等等。如:
My trousers were bought in Shanghai.我的裤子是在上海买的。
但是,当这些名词前有pair时,谓语动词常与pair的数一致。如:
This pair of trousers was bought in Shanghai,but those two pairs of gloves were bought in Beijing.这条裤子是在上海买的,但那两副手套是在北京买的。
四、国名、地名、组织机构名称、书刊和杂志名等名词作主语时,谓语动词常用单数。如:
The United States is a developed country.美国是个发达国家。
Great Expectations has been translatedinto Chinese.《远大前程》已译成中文。
五、表示“时间、距离、钱额”等复数名词作主语时,常被看作一个整体,谓语动词用单数。如:
Ten years is a moment in history.十年在历史上是一瞬间。
One hundred kilometers is a long distance.一百公里是一段很长的距离。
Fifty pounds is too expensive.五十英镑太贵了。
如果将以上复数名词作为个体看待时,谓语动词常用复数。如:
Ten years have passed since I came to work in this school.自从我到这所学校工作以来,十年已经过去了。
六、由“名词+and+名词”结构作主语,表示同一种事物或同一人时,谓语动词常用单数。如:
Bread and milk is whole some food.面包牛奶是一种有益于身体的食物。
The singer and dancer has come.那位歌唱家兼舞蹈家来了。
七、由“every /each /no +单数名词 +and +every /each /no +单数名词”结构作主语时,谓语动词常用单数。如:
Every hour and every minute is important.每一小时,每一分钟,都很宝贵。
有时可将第二个every /each /no省略。如:
Each book and paper can be found in this room.每一本书,每一份文件,都可在此房间内找到。
八、“名词/代词+or+名词/代词”结构作主语时,谓语动词一般与or后面的名词/代词一致。如:
He or I am going to attend the meeting.他或者我将参加会议。
九、“名词+介词短语”作主语时,谓语动词一般与名词的数一致。
常用的介词和短语介词有:with,together with,along with,like,besides,as well as,but,except,except for,including等。如:
The teacher as well as the students is ready to help others.不仅学生们,而且老师也乐于助人。
The girl together with some boys has gone to plant trees.那个姑娘和一些男孩子一起去植树了。
Nobody but Tom and Mary was in the classroom.只有汤姆和玛丽在教室里。
十、由“either...or...;neither...
nor...;notonly...butalso...”连接的名词/代词作主语时,谓语动词常与最靠近的主语一致。如:
Neither the children nor the mother knows anything about it.孩子们和母亲都不知道这件事。
Are either you or I wrong?不是你错就是我错,是吗?
在英语口语中,甚至在正式英语中,“neither...nor...;either...or...”连接的名词/代词作主语时,也可采取概念一致的原则,谓语动词用复数形式。如:
Neither the cats nor the dog have been fed.那些猫和狗都没有喂过。
十一、不定代词all,some,any作主语时,如果指代可数名词,谓语动词用复数;如果指代不可数名词,谓语动词用单数。none作主语时,如果指代不可数名词,谓语动词用单数;如果指代可数名词,谓语动词用单复数均可。either和 neither作主语时,谓语动词常用单数,但在非正式语体中也可用复数。如:
All have gone home after school except a naughty boy who remains in the classroom.放学后除了一个淘气的男孩留在教室以外,所有的人都回家了。
All is well that ends well.结果好一切就好。
None of my classmates have /has been to the USA.我的同学都没有/一个也没有去过美国。
Either of the two boys is a League member.这两个男孩都是团员。
Neither of them knows the truth.他们谁都不知道真相。
十二、“分数/百分数+of+名词”结构在句子中作主语时,谓语动词与名词的数一致。如:
Three quarters of the surface of the earth is covered by water.地球表面的四分之三被水覆盖。
About sixty percent of the teachers in this school are women.这所学校里大约百分之六十的教师是女的。
十三、“The +形容词”表示一类人时,谓语动词常用复数形式。
常用的形容词有:rich,poor,living,dead,young,old,blind,sick,wounded,aged,disabled等。如:
In the old society,the poor were forced to sell their children.在旧社会穷人被迫卖儿卖女。
如果该形容词指抽象概念,谓语动词常用单数形式。如:
The new is always weak at first.新生事物开始时总是脆弱的。
The true is to be distinguished from the false.真与假应相区别。
The unexpected has happened.出乎意料的事发生了。
十四、动词不定式、动名词和从句作主语时,谓语动词常用单数形式。如:
Swimming in rivers in summer is a splendid sport,but to swim in rivers in winter needs great will power.夏天在江河里游泳是极好的运动,但冬天在江河里游泳需要极大的毅力。
Who he is doesn't concern me.他是谁与我无关。
但是,当what引导主语从句或由 and连接两个动词不定式或动名词作主语时,谓语动词的数应根据意义一致的原则来决定。如:
What we need here is money.我们这里需要的是资金。
What we need here are workers.我们这里需要的是工人。
Lying and stealing are immoral.说谎与偷窃是不道德的。

高三英语复习与训练十五一--主谓一致
15. 主谓一致:
1) 语法形式上要一致,即单复数形式与谓语要一致。
2) 意义上要一致,即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致。
3) 就近原则,即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语,
一般来说,不可数名词用动词单数,可数名词复数用动词复数。例如:
There is much water in the thermos.
但当不可数名词前有表示数量的复数名词时,谓语动词用复数形式。例如:
Ten thousand tons of coal were produced last year.
15.1 并列结构作主语时谓语用复数,例如:
Reading and writing are very important. 读写很重要。
注意:当主语由and连结时,如果它表示一个单一的概念,即指同一人或同一物时,谓语动词用单数,and 此时连接的两个词前只有一个冠词。例如:
The iron and steel industry is very important to our life. 钢铁工业对我们的生活有重要意义。
典型例题
The League secretary and monitor ___ asked to make a speech at the meeting.
A. is B. was C. are D. were
答案B. 注: 先从时态上考虑。这是过去发生的事情应用过去时,先排除A.,C。本题易误选D,因为The League secretary and monitor 好象是两个人,但仔细辨别,monitor 前没有the,在英语中,当一人兼数职时只在第一个职务前加定冠词。后面的职务用and 相连。这样本题主语为一个人,所以应选B。
15.2 主谓一致中的靠近原则
1)当there be 句型的主语是一系列事物时,谓语应与最邻近的主语保持一致。例如:
There is a pen, a knife and several books on the desk. 桌上有一支笔、一把小刀和几本书。
There are twenty boy-students and twenty-three girl-students in the class.班上有二十个男孩,二十三个女孩。
2)当either… or… 与neither… nor,连接两个主语时,谓语动词与最邻近的主语保持一致。如果句子是由here, there引导,而主语又不止一个时,谓语通常也和最邻近的主语一致。例如:
Either you or she is to go. 不是你去,就是她去。
Here is a pen, a few envelops and some paper for you. 给你笔、信封和纸。
15.3 谓语动词与前面的主语一致
当主语有with, together with, like, except, but, no less than, as well as 等词组成的短语时,谓语动词与前面的主语部分一致。例如:
The teacher together with some students is visiting the factory. 教师和一些学生在参观工厂。
He as well as I wants to go boating.他和我想去划船。
15.4 谓语需用单数
1)代词each以及由every, some, no, any等构成的复合代词作主语时,或主语中含有each, every时, 谓语需用单数。例如:
Each of us has a tape-recorder. 我们每人都有录音机。
There is something wrong with my watch. 我的表坏了。
2)当主语是一本书或一条格言时,谓语动词常用单数。例如:
The Arabian Night is a book known to lovers of English. 《天方夜谭》是英语爱好者熟悉的一本书。
3)表示金钱,时间,价格或度量衡的复合名词作主语时,通常把这些名词看作一个整体,谓语一般用单数。例如:
Three weeks was allowed for making the necessary preparations. 用三个星期来做准备。
Ten yuan is enough. 十元够了。
15.5 指代意义决定谓语的单复数
1)代词what, which, who, none, some, any, more, most, all等词的单复数由其指代的词的单复数决定。例如:
All is right. 一切顺利。
All are present. 人都到齐了。
2)集体名词作主语时,谓语的数要根据主语的意思来决定。如family, audience, crew, crowd, class, company, committee等词后,谓语动词用复数形式时强调这个集体中的各个成员,用单数时强调该集体的整体。例如:
His family isn't very large. 他家成员不多。
His family are music lovers. 他家个个都是音乐爱好者。
但集合名词people, police, cattle, poultry等在任何情况下都用复数形式。例如:
Are there any police around? 附近有警察吗?
3)有些名词,如variety, number, population, proportion, majority 等有时看作单数,有时看作复数。例如:
A number of +名词复数+复数动词。
The number of +名词复数+单数动词。
A number of books have lent out.
The majority of the students like English.
15.6 与后接名词或代词保持一致
1)用half of, most of, none of, heaps of, lots of, plenty of 等引起主语时,谓语动词通常与of后面的名词/代词保持一致。例如:
Most of his money is spent on books. 他大部分的钱化在书上了。
Most of the students are taking an active part in sports. 大部分学生积极参与体育运动。
2)用a portion of, a series of, a pile of, a panel of 等引起主语时,谓语动词通常用单数。例如:
A series of accidents has been reported. 媒体报道了一连串的事故。
A pile of lots was set beside the hearth. 炉边有一堆木柴。
3)如 many a 或 more than one 所修饰的短语作主语时,谓语动词多用单数形式。但由more than… of 作主语时,动词应与其后的名词或代词保持一致。例如:
Many a person has read the novel. 许多人读过这本书。
More than 60 percent of the students are from the city.百分之六十多的学生来自这个城市。

主谓一致中的“表里不一”现象
和主语必须在人称和数上保持一致,最基本的原则是:单数主语用单数动词,复数主语用复数动词。但在实际使用当中情况比较复杂,现在笔者把在教学中学生常犯的主谓一致错误归纳整理如下,以期对同学们的学习有所帮助。
1、“more than one +名词”作主语时,谓语动词常用单数。例如:
More than one teacher gets the flowers. 不止一个教师得到了花。
2、“many a +名词”作主语时,从意义上看是复数,但谓语动词常用单数。例如:Many a student has been sent to plant trees. 很多学生被派去植树。
3、“half of,the rest of,most of,all of及百分数或分数+of 等后接名词”作主语时,谓语动词形式根据of后的名词而定。例如:
Three fourths of the surface of the Earth is covered with water. 地球表面四分之三为水所覆盖。
4、all指人时,动词用复数;all指物时,动词用单数。例如:
“All are present and all is going well”,our manager said. 我们经理说:“所有人全部到场了,一切进展顺利。”
5、what引导的主语从句,谓语动词可视表语而定:表语是单数名词时,动词用单数,相反,则用复数。例如:
What they want to get is a number of good books. 他们想得到的是大量的好书。
6、and连接的两个单数名词前若用each、every、no修饰,该名词短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。例如:
No book and no pen is found in the schoolbag. 书包里没有书和钢笔。
7、当主语后面有as well as,with,along with,together with,but,like,rather than,except等引导的短语时,谓语动词要与最前面的主语保持一致。例如:
My father as well as his workmates has been to Beijing. 我父亲和他的同事曾去过北京。
8、each作主语的同位语时, 谓语动词由主语来决定,与each无关。例如:
They each have a bike. 他们每人有一辆自行车。
9、动词不定式、动词-ing形式短语作主语时,谓语动词常用单数。例如:
Going out for a walk after supper is a good habit. 晚饭后出去散步是一个好习惯。
10、the following 作主语时,谓语动词的数与后面名词的数保持一致。例如:
The following are some good examples. 下面是一些好例子。
11、以-ics结尾的学科名词,如politics,physics,mathematics等作主语时,谓语动词用单数。以-s结尾的名词news,works,plastics等同属此类。例如:
Politics is now taught in all schools. 现在各学校都开设政治课。
12、有些用来表示由两个对应部分组成一体的名词复数(trousers,glasses,shoes等)作主语时,前面若有“一条”、“一副”、“一把”之类的单位词,动词用单数;若没有单位词或单位词是复数,则谓语动词用复数。例如:
The shoes are all right. 这些鞋子都很合适。
13、“one and a half +名词”作主语时,谓语动词要用单数。例如:
One and a half apples is left on the table. 桌子上有一个半苹果。
14、“one or two/more +复数名词”作主语时,谓语动词用复数。例如:
One or two persons are sent there to help them do the work. 要派一两个人到那儿去给他们帮忙。
15、“one of +复数名词+ 定语从句”结构中,定语从句的谓语动词要用复数;而在“the only one of +复数名词+定语从句”的结构中,定语从句的谓语动词要用单数。例如:
He is one of the students who get there on time. 他是准时到达那里的学生之一。
16、表示时间、距离、金钱等的复数名词作主语表达一个整体概念时,谓语动词常用单数,但若强调数量,谓语动词可用复数。例如:
One million dollars is a lot of money. 一百万美元是一大笔钱。

语法系列复习专题六-----情态动词、主谓一致
情 态 动 词
一、一般疑问句中几个情态动词的问与答
1. Need I/he/…?
Yes,you/he/…must.(不用need)
2. Must I/ he/…?
No,you/ he/…needn’t/don’t(doesn’t,won’t)have to.(不用mustn’t)
3. May I/ he/…?
No,you/ he/…mustn’t.(少用may not)
4. Could(Can)you…?
Yes,I can (不用could)
5. Shall I/she/ he…?
No,you(she,he)needn’t/can’t/mustn’t
二、情态动词表“推测”
1.can,may,must使用的句式:
1)肯定陈述句中:must表“肯定、必定、一定”意,may/might表“也许,或许”意。
2)否定陈述句中:can’t/couldn’t表“不可能”意,may not/might not表“也许不、可能不”意。
3)疑问句中:只能用can或could,不能用must,may或might。
注意:表推测的could,might并不是指过去时间,而是表示比can,may把握性略小些的情况。
2.对目前状态的推测:
1)must/may/might/can/could+be+表语
例如:She must be a teacher.她肯定是老师。She can’t/couldn’t be a doctor.她肯定不是医生。 He may not/might not be a doctor.他可能不是医生。
2)must/may/might/can/could+一些不能用于进行时的静态动词(如:have,exist,live,like,hate,own,belong to等)
例如:She must have her own car,for she has a lot of money.
That kind of bird may live in the valleys.
3.对目前正在发生的事情进行推测:
句式:must/may/might/can/could+be doing
例如:They must be waiting for us.他们肯定正在等我们。
She may/might be doing her homework.她可能正在做作业。
Can/Could he be playing football?他会正在踢足球吗?
4.对已发生的事情进行推测:
句式:must/may/might/can/could+have done
例如:There’s no lignt in the room. They must have gone to bed./She knows nothing about the film. She can’t/couldn’t have seen it./Can/Could he have been a doctor?/He may/might(not)have been a teacher./They must have been watching TV at nine last night./Can/Could she have stayed in Beijing last year?
注意:will have done句式也可表“肯定/可能已经…”推测意。
例如:He will have learned advanced mathematics,for he knows a lot about it. 他肯定/可能学过高等数学,因为他对此懂得很多。
三、“情态动词+have done”用法
1.should/ought to +have done,意“本应该…”,含有责备或后悔意。
例如:You should have come here a little earlier./I ought to have sent him to school./
2.shouldn’t/oughtn’t to+have done,意“本不应该”,含有责备或后悔意。
例如:You shouldn’t have watered the flower./I oughtn’t to have scolded her for such a small thing.
3.might have done,意“过去可能做”;could have done意“本能够做”,两者都含有委婉批评或遗憾之意,也可表对过去情况的推测。
例如:He might have gone to Nanjing with Professor Wang.last week,but he was ill.上星期他本可以和王教授一起去南京的,可他病了。We could have finished the work ahead of time.我们本来是能够提前完成工作的。
四、情态动词在反意疑问句中的用法
1.“肯定祈使句+附加问句”结构,附加问句常用will/would/won’t you形式。
例如:Stand still,will/would/won’t you?
2.“否定祈使句+附加问句”结构,附加问句常用will/would you形式。
例如:Don’t watch TV,will/would you?
3.Let’s…,shall we? ; Let us…,will/won’t you?
4.含有must句子的反意问句
1)must表示“必须”时,附加部分常用needn’t,也可用mustn’t.例如:He must go with you,needn’t/mustn’t he?
2)mustn’t表“一定不能”时,附加部分用may.例如:She mustn’t leave,may she?
3)must表“一定、想必”推测意时,附加部分主要有下列几种形式:
A.He must be an engineer,isn’t he?They must be writing now,aren’t they?(这类句子问句前部分含“must be…”或“must be doing…”。)
B.She must have a car/live there, doesn’t she?
C.He must have seen the film,hasn’t he?(这类句子问句前部分的谓语为must have done,句子无具体过去时间状语。)
D.He must have seen the film last week,didn’t he?(这类句子问句前面部分的谓语为must have done,句子有具体过去时间状语。)
E.Mother must have been shopping then,wasn’t she?(前面部分谓语为must have been doing。)
5.含有may表推测的句子,其反意问句形式与must表推测的反意问句形式相似。
例如:She may have finished her homework,hasn’t she?
五、几组词语辨析
1.must与have to:must强调说话者的主观看法,have to强调客观需要,表示“不必”意要用needn’t或don’t/didn’t/won’t have to,不能用mustn’t。
2.can/could与be able to:can多用于现在时,也可用于将来时,could只用于过去时,be able to可用于各种时态。表示“过去经过努力而做成(或没做成)”要用was/were(not) able to ,而不用could(not)。例如:He worked hard,but he wasn’t able to pass the exam.
3.will,would,used to:都可表“习惯”意。①will表示不受时间限制的习惯性动作。如:Fish will die out of water./ She’ll sit for hours without saying anything.
②would表示过去习惯性的动作,但不涉及与现在情况的对比。如:He would walk by the river in the morning.注意:would后不能跟表状态动词。例如不能说He would be late for school last year. ③used to表示过去习惯性的动作或状态,但这种习惯现在已不存在了。如:He used to get up early. He used to be late for school.
情态动词考点分析
1.-Could I borrow your dictionary? (NMET)
-Yes,of course you________.
A.might B.will C.can D.should
析:B、D意明显不合;A语气不妥,与of course不符。此题Could是表Can意的委婉说法,并非过去时,所以答案应为C。
2.-Shall I tell John about it?
-No,you_________.I’ve told him already. (NMET)
A.needn’t B.wouldn’t C.mustn’t D.shoudn’t
析:B意明显不合用,可排除。mustn’t意“不许、不得”,shouldn’t意“不应该”都不合情景。只有needn’t表“不必”与下文“I’ve told him already”相贴切。
3.-There were already five people in the car,but they managed to take me as well.
-It_________a comfortable journey. (NMET)
A.can’t be B.shouldn’t be
C.mustn’t have been D.couldn’t have been
析:A、B是对现在情况而言,与情景不合。表否定推测不能说mustn’t have been,只有D选项“不可能是”意思切合,时态也对,故为正确答案。
4.The fire spread through the hotel very quickly ,but everyone________get out.
(NMET)
A.could B.would C.was able to D.had to
析:根据题干提供的情景B、D皆应排除。在A、C两选项中,因为根据情景要选一个“经过努力能够”这样意思的词,故定答案为C。
5.I told Sally how to get here,but perhaps I________for her.
A.had to write it out B.must have written it out
C.should have written it out D.ought to write it out
析:A项意“(当时)不得不写出来”,不合题意;D项意“(现在)应写出来”也不合题意;B项意“(当时)肯定已写出来”明显不对。只有表“当初应该写出来”意的C项才合上下文。
6.That young man has made so much noise that he_________not have been allowed to attend the concert. (上海高考题)
A.could B.must C.would D.should
析:若选A。意“不可能已被允许…”与情景不合,应排除;B项不可选;C项意“当时将不会被允许…”也与情况相悖。只有D“should not have been allowed…”表示“当初不该让他…”才合题意。
7.-Can I help you,sir?
-Yes,I bought this radio here yesterday,but it______.(NMET)
A.didn’t work B.couldn’t work C.can’t work D.doesn’t work
析:若选A。意“昨天不响(今天响了)”,不合题目情景;若选B。其意是“当时不能工作(现在能工作了)”,显然不合题;若选C。意为“这台收音机根本不能工作(是废品)”这未免显得武断;只有D表“这台机子不响(有毛病)”意才能合理地表达来找商店服务员的原因。
主谓一致(Agreement)
1.“Either A or B+谓语”结构,谓语取决于B。
例:Either the students or their teacher dislikes basketball,otherwise they
would take part in the basketball match.
但在一般疑问句中,谓语取决于A。
例如:Do either the students or their teacher dislike basketball?
Is either he or you going there?
这种谓语取决于与其最近的主语现象叫做“就近原则”。
2.“Neither A nor B+谓语”结构,谓语多取决于B。但现代英语也出现复数谓语,
理由是neither A nor B是两部分之和,为复数概念,故其后可用复数谓语。
例如:Neither she nor I was(或were)fortunate enough to gain extra points.
她和我都不幸未能获得附加分。
Neither you nor he does(或do)well in maths.
3.Neither of…接单、复谓(通常视为单数,但在口语中,从意义上亦可视为复数)
None of…接单、复谓
例:Neither of them is(或are)right.
None of you is(或are)fit for the job.
4. as well as(以及)
(together)with(以及)B+谓语”结构,谓语取决于A。
“A along with(以及)
but(除去)
rather than
例: as well as
The trainer along with two gymnasts is in the gym.
(together) with
教练和两个体操运动员在体操房里。
All but Li Dong have passed the test. 除了李东所有人都通过了考试。
Nobody but Li Dong and Wang Hong has passed the test.
除了李东和王宏没有什么人通过那场考试。
5. 表示钱数、时间、长度、数学等概念名词其后通常用单数谓语。
例:200 yuan / 500 dollars / 20 minutes is not enough for us.
makes 15.
10 and 5 10加5等于15.
is
makes 5.
10 minus 5 10减5等于5.
is
(以上两数词例,现代英语认为make,are也对。)
20 kilometres is too much for them. 20公里是他们吃不消的。
6. There be 结构中be的形式取决于靠近be的名词,若是单数名词,则be为is/was;
若是复数名词,则be为are/were(即第1条中的“就近原则”)。
例如:There is a desk,two chairs and three sofas in the room.
There are three sofas,two chairs and a desk in the room.
7. a group of…,a team of…后跟复谓、单谓皆可,跟复谓的理由是不止一个人,跟单谓的理由是将许多人视为“一组”、“一队”这样的一个单位体。
例如:A group/team of students are /is cleaning the street.
8. 象school ,class,family,team,group government等这类群体名词,其后谓语可能是单数形式,也可能是复数形式。通常视其为一个整体单位时,用单数谓语;视其为群体成员时,则用复数谓语。
例如:The class are having a meeting. 这个班学生在开会。
The class is not very big. 这个班不是大班。
The family enjoy singing and dancing. 这家人喜欢唱歌跳舞。
The family has only three persons.这家只有三口人。
9. 象police,clothes,trousers这类复数概念名词,其后总是跟复数谓语。the wounded
(伤员)后总是跟复数谓语。
10. 象clothing,news,information,advice这类不可数名词后应跟单数谓语,但它们前面有可数性短语修饰时,也可跟复数谓语。
例如:The clothing is very nice.The news is interesting.
Five articles of clothing are over there.
Three pieces of news were announced on TV.
11.百分数of+复名+复谓,百分数of+单名/不可数名词+单谓
例:40 percent of the students are girls.
80 percent of the work/the book has been finished.
分数后的谓语形式同百分数。
12. who/why/how/whether/if/than引导的名词从句+单谓
例:How he got there is unknown./Why she did it remains a puzzle./It’s lucky that he is still alive.
13. A (large)number of+复名+复谓。
例:A number of books are over there.
A large amount of+不可数名词+单谓。
例:A large amount of money has been spent.
The number of+复名+单谓。
例:The number of the students in our school is 2000.
主谓一致考点分析
1._____either he or I to leave for America?
A. Is B.Am C.Are D.Will
析:由or,either…or, nor, neither…or, whether…or, not…but, not only…but also等连接的并列主语,其谓语动词的单复数要根据“就近原则”处理,因为空白处与he最近,故要选A。
2. No one has finished his homework,________?
A.have they B.haven’t they C.has he D.hasn’t he
析:由No one可知空白处应选肯定式,故可排除B,D。又因为句子表述的意思是“没
有一个人完成作业”,从人数上看是很多人没完成作业,故排除C项,而选A。
3. There comes the bus,_______?
A.doesn’t there B.doesn’t it C.does it D.are there
析:这是一个倒装句,主语是bus,谓语是comes, 所以答案应选B。
4. He is a teacher but his wife is a doctor,_______?
A.isn’t she B.isn’t it C.aren’t they D.isn’t he
析:此题问句前部分含but,重点是强调his wife is a doctor,故问句部分取决于此部分,因此,该题答案为A。
5. They don’t think money is everything,_______?
A.is it B.isn’t it C.will they D.do they
析:如果是“I/ We(don’t)think+宾从”则反意问句主语和谓语取决于宾语从句,但此句主句的主语不是I或we,而是They,这时反意问句部分的主语和谓语要取决 于主句的主、谓语,所以此题答案应选D。
6. Each soldier and sailor_____given a rifle when the ship landed.
A.were B.was C.are D.is
析:根据when the ship landed,可知应排除C,D.又因“each/every A and(each/every)B”结构的主语后面应跟单数谓语,所以答案为B。
7.More than one person_____involved(卷入)in th case.
A.is B.are C.has D.have
析:要表达“被卷入”,只能在A,B之中选一个,因more than one后应跟单名,单
谓,所以答案为A。
8.He is the only one of our customers who____this kind of article.
A.like B.likes C.are fond of D.loved
析:从时态考虑可排除D。因“the/the only…of+复名”后的定语从句谓语应该
用单数形式,所以答案应是B。但此题若将the only 去掉,则答案为A。
情态动词、主谓一致专练
1. The possibe____often proved impossible.

第十三章 主谓一致
主谓一致是指一个句子的主语和谓语动词保持人称与数的一致关系。有些句子不易直接看出主语的单复数,需仔细推敲。处理主谓一致要注意语法一致,意义上一致和就近一致。
高考重点要求:
1. 根据主谓一致的三个原则(语法一致,意义一致,就近一致), 判断和确定句子的主语和谓语在人称和数上保持一致
2. 掌握固定词组作主语,谓语动词的数与主语保持一致
第一节 知识点概述
一、语法上的一致
一个句子的主语是单数时,谓语动词也应是单数形式,主语是复数,谓语动词也用复数形式。例如:
Learning English is very important.
学习英语是很重要的。
The girl together with her two sisters has left for Nanjing.
Both Bob and Tom are my friends.
但如果并列的主语指的是同一个人,同一类物,谓语动词要用单数形式。
例如:A singer and dancer is going to attend our meeting.
由and连接的并列单数主语前,如果分别有each, every等修饰时,谓语要用单数。
例如:Every boy and every girl was given a present.
Each word and each phrase in the dictionary is important.
二、意义上的一致
主语形式是单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词根据意义要用复数;反之主语形式为复数,但意义为单数,谓语动词也用单数。如表示一笔钱,一段时间,一定重量时,这些单位虽是复数形式,但谓语动词是单数形式。
例如:It seems to me that five years is so short a time.
Two hundred dollars was spent on the books.
有些集体名词,如family, group, class等作主语时,作为整体看待,谓语动词要用单数,就其中一个个成员而言,谓语要用复数。
例如:My family is a happy one.
My family are watching TV.
三、就近一致
出现几个主语时,谓语动词的人称单复数须和最近的主语保持一致。There be, Here be句型中动词的单复数必须与后置的第一个主语保持一致。当be后面的主语有两个或两个以上的并列成分时,be动词往往与最邻近的一个一致。
例如:There is an orange, two apples and many bananas on the table.
There are two books and a dictionary on the desk.
两个做主语的名词或代词由either…or…, neither…nor…, not only…but also等连接时,谓语动词用靠近原则。
例如:Neither you nor I am right.
Not only the students but also the teacher is going to attend the meeting.
但如果用as well as连接两个主语用靠前原则
例如:Mary as well as you is my friend.
第二节 实战演练
一、复习时需注意的要点
1、集体名词看作整体时,谓语动词用单数,看作各个成员时,谓语用复数。
例如:His family isn’t large.
His family are all fond of music.
2、些名词如news, maths, physics等虽然有词尾“s”但意义上是单数,谓语动词要用单数。
例如:The news is wonderful.
Physics is an interesting subject.
3、由数词+表示重量、里程、时间、金钱等名词所构成的复数名词主语,是当作一个整体看待的,后面用单数动词。
例如:Five minutes is too short.
Ten dollars is enough.
4、主语后面跟有介词with或together with 引导的短语时,谓语动词一般与前面的主语的人称和数一致。
例如:The teacher together with ten students is doing an experiment in the lab.
5、主语前有every或each修饰时,无论有几个主语,谓语动词用单数。
例如:Every teacher and every student in our school has been to the Century Park.
二、历届高考试题分析
例1、He is the only one of the students who _______a winner of scholarship for three years.
A. is B. are C. have been D. has been
答案为D。
【解析】 这是一个定语从句。在one前是否有定冠词决定定语从句中的谓语动词的单复数形式:one of the students中的先行词是the students,定语从句中的谓语动词要用复数形式。the only one of the students中的先行词是the only one,定语从句中的谓语动词要用单数形式。又因“for three years”是完成时的标志。
例2、Professor Smith, along with his assistants, ____ on the project day and night to meet the deadline.
A. work B. working C. is working D. are working
答案:C
【解析】 Professor Smith决定谓语动词的数;his assistants和谓语动词的数无关。
例3、Not only ______interested in football but ______beginning to show an interest in it.
A. the teacher himself is … all his students are
B. the teacher himself is …are all his students
C. is the teacher himself …are all his students
D. is the teacher himself …all his students are

例5、E-mail, as well as telephone, ______ an important part in daily communication.
A. is playing B. have played C. are playing D. hoped
答案为A。
【解析】 本题考察主谓一致,当主语后面跟有as well as短语时,其后的谓语动词不受as well as之后的名词影响,仍然和主语在人称和数上保持一致。
例6、Books of this kind ______ well.
A. sell B. sells C. are sold D. is sold
答案为A。
【解析】 “kind(s) of + 名词”作主语时,谓语动词的数依kind 单复数而定;“复数名词 + of this/that kind ”作主语时,谓语动词的数依of 前面的名词而定。本题中sell 用作不及物动词表示“销售”。
例7、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
答案为C。

主谓一致专项复习
【学习指南】
从广义上讲,一致关系牵涉到名词和代词之间、主语和谓语之间、主语和表语之间、主句谓语动词的时态和从句谓语动词时态之间等众多的一致关系,但本章只着重论述主语和谓语在人称和数的一致关系。
本章的学习重点是主谓一致的三个原则,即语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近一致原则。然而,在语言实践过程中往往还会出现较为复杂的情况,如有些句子的主语不能从词的形式上看出是单数还是复数,有时还会出现一些习惯用法,这就要求我们在学习过程中要记住:规则一定要遵循,例外一定要注意,惯用法一定要重视。本章难点是集合名词作主语以及形复意单的名词作主语时的主谓一致,另外并列主语的主谓一致因其例外较多,也是我们在学习过程中值得关注的焦点之一。
一、语法一致的原则
语法一致是指主语为单数形式,谓语也用单数形式;主语为复数形式,谓语也用复数形式。
1、动词不定式或动词–ing形式作主语
动词不定式或动词–ing形式作主语时,谓语动词用单数。
To see is to believe.
眼见为实。
Asking costs nothing.
多问不吃亏。
2、从句作主语
名词性从句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。
That they will win is certain.
他们一定会赢是确信无疑的。
When they could finish the task is not known yet.
他们何时能完成任务还未知。
Whoever wants to join in the competition is asked to sign his / her name here.
要参加比赛的人请在这里签名。
【小贴士】
但what / whoever / which引导的主语从句充当主语时,有时要看what / whoever / which所指代的词的意义来决定谓语动词的数。
What he said is true.他所说的是真的。
What we need are more volunteers. 我们所需要的是更多的志愿者。
3、“more than one 或many a + 单数名词”作主语
“more than one / many a +单数名词”作主语时,尽管其意义复数,但谓语动词还是用单数形式。但“more than + 复数名词”或“more + 复数名词 + than one”作主语时,谓语动词要用复数。
More than one student has read Rowling’s Harry Porter.
许多学生看过罗琳的《哈利波特》。
Many a student has seen the film Titanic twice.
许多学生看了电影《铁达尼号》两次。
More than two hundred people have turned out at the meeting.
两百多人退出了会场。
More students than one are against the decision.
不止一个学生反对这个决定。
【小帖士】
“one or two +复数名词”作主语,谓语动词用复数,但“a / one + 单数名词+ or two”作主语,谓语动词单数、复数均可。
One or two days are enough for me to finish the work.
一两天的时间就足够我去完成这工作。
Only a / one word or two is / are needed here.
这里只需要一两个字。
4、用and连接的主语
由and连接的两个或两个以上的单数名词或不可数名词作主语时,谓语动词一般用复数形式。但如表示单一的概念时,谓语动词则用单数形式(见本章第二节“意义一致的原则”)。
Rice and wheat are grown in China.
中国种植小米和小麦。
Both his father and his mother are advanced workers.
他的爸爸和妈妈都是先进工作者。
5、用with, as well as等词连接的主语
“名词+ together with/as well as + 名词”结构作主语时,不能看作是并列主语,together with或as well as之后的名词是主语的附加成分,句子的谓语动词不受附加成分中名词单复数的影响,仍和第一个名词的数保持一致。
Our monitor as well as some of our classmates has been to the USA.
我们的班长和几位同学已去过美国了。
The bat together with the balls was stolen.
球拍和球都被偷走了。
【百宝箱】
英语中有很多属于“A + as well as + B”这种结构,谓语动词应与主语A 保持一致。
A together with B A和B A rather than B A而不是B
A along with B A与B A except/but B A除了B
A including B A包括B A like/unlike B A像/不像B那样
A in addition to B A加上B A no less than B A如B一样
6、关系代词作主语
定语从句中关系代词who, that, which等作主语时,其谓语动词的数与先行词的数一致。
AIDS is a disease that breaks down the body immune system and leaves a person defenseless against infections and illnesses.
艾滋病是一种破坏人体免疫系统,使人处于失去抗感染、抗疾病状态的病症。
Those who have finished the work can go home first.
那些已完成工作的人可以先回家。
I, who am your teacher, will do my best to help you.
我是你的老师,我会全力帮助你的。
【点津坊】
若先行词为“one of + 复数名词”时,从句中的谓语动词用复数;若先行词为“the only one of + 复数名词”时,从句中的谓语动词用单数。
He was one of the students who were given a prize. 他是那些获奖的学生之一。
I was the only one in my office who was invited. 我是办公室里唯一受到邀请的人。
7、由两部分构成的物体名词作主语
由两部分组成的表示衣物或工具的名词做主语时,谓语通常用复数,此类名词有:glasses(眼镜),spectacles(眼镜),shoes(鞋子),boots(靴子),sneakers(轻便运动鞋);trousers / pants(裤子),compasses(指南针),chopsticks(筷子),scissors(剪刀),socks(短袜),stockings(长袜),clothes(衣服)等。但这类词如用a pair of修饰时,谓语动词用单数。
My glasses were broken while playing football yesterday.
昨天踢足球时我的眼镜被打烂了。
A pair of shoes is lying under the bed.
床底下有一双鞋。
Chopsticks were first introduced to Japan in the 3rd century A.D. and thus ended the practice of taking food directly by hand.
公元三世纪,筷子传到了日本,并从此结束了人们直接用手拿食物的做法。
【小帖士】
当a pair (of)表示“两个人”时,其谓语动词通常用复数;当表示“一对夫妇”时,谓语用单复数都行。
A pair of students are practising speaking English there. 两个学生正在那里练习讲英语。
The happy pair is/are going to Europe for their honeymoon. 这对快乐的新婚夫妇打算去欧洲度蜜月。
8、this kind / sort of +名词作主语
表示一个种类的“kind of + 名词”后面常用单数谓语动词,而“复数名词+ of this kind”后面的谓语动词常用复数。
This kind / sort of question is very difficult. 这种问题很难。
Questions of this kind / sort are very difficult. 这种问题很难。
9、amount和quantity结构作主语
“a large amount of + 不可数名词”结构作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式;“large amounts of +不可数名词”结构作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。类似的结构还有“a large quantity of +可数/不可数名词”结构(谓语用单数)以及“large quantities of +可数/不可数名词”结构(谓语用复数)。
A large amount of damage was done in a short time.
在短时间内就造成了巨大的损失。
Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge.
这座桥花了一大笔钱。
A large quantity of pure water is needed there.
那里需要大量的纯净水。
Large quantities of water are needed for cooling purposes.
需要大量的水来降温。
10、名词所有格作主语
指商店、工场、住宅等的名词所有格作主语时,后面往往省略了shop / home等名词,如the baker’s(面包店),the barber’s(理发店),the doctor’s(诊所),the Zhang’s(张先生家)等,谓语动词一般用单数。但表示店铺名称的名词所有格,如?????等,谓语动词往往用复数。
My uncle’s is not far from here.
我叔叔家离这里不远。
The baker’s was destroyed in a big fire last year.
那家面包店在去年一场大火中被烧毁了。
McDonald’s have a lot of delicious food to sell.

【分析】该题目考查主语加附加成分时与谓语的一致原则。主语为单数时,后面附加成分的单复数不影响谓语动词的单复数。选项B、C、D都是复数形式,故答案为A。
二、意义一致的原则
句子的谓语动词和主语的数的一致是根据该主语的意义,而不是根据语法形式决定的。当主语形式为单数,但意义为复数时,谓语动词要用复数形式;但主语形式为复数,而意义却为单数时,谓语动词用单数形式。
1、无标记复数名词作主语
people(人们), cattle(牛群),poultry(家禽), police(警察),youth(青年)是无标记复数名词,即没有复数标记但用作复数的名词,其谓语动词总是用复数形式。
The police were sent to the spot to keep order immediately.
警察立即被派往现场维持秩序。
Cattle are one cause of the problem.
养牛是这个问题的一个原因。
2、单复数同形的名词作主语
英语中一些单复数同形的名词作主语时,应根据其表达的意义来决定谓语动词的单复数,常见的这类名词有sheep(绵羊),deer(鹿),fish(鱼),means(方法),works(工厂),species(种类),Chinese(中国人),Japanese(日本人);Swiss(瑞士人);crossroads(十字路口);series(系列)等。
The chemical works was set up in 1980.
这家化工厂于1980年建的。
These glass works are far from the city center.
这些玻璃厂离市中心很远。
Every possible means has been used to prevent the air pollution, but the sky is still not clear.
为了防止污染,每一种方法都试过了,但天空仍然不清晰。
All possible means have been tried to keep animals and plants from becoming endangered.
为了使动植物的生命不受到威胁,所有的方法都试过了。
This species has been completely destroyed for different reasons.
由于不同的原因,这个物种已经被彻底破坏了。
Since so many species have been destroyed, we have to protect the ones that are still with us.
既然那么多的物种已被破坏,我们就得保护那些仍然与我们同在的物种。
3、集体名词作主语
团体性的集体名词表示整体时,其谓语动词用单数形式;但这些集体名词表示集体中若干个体时,谓语动词用复数形式。这类名词常见的有family(家庭),crowd(人群),class(班级),public(公众),enemy(敌人),audience(观众),government(政府),group(小组),committee(委员会),team(队),media(媒体),staff(全体职员),crew(全体人员)等。

【分析】本句考查not only…but also连接并列主语时的主谓一致。Not only…but also连接的并列主语应采用就近一致的原则,Jane and Mary充当主语用复数谓语动词,故选B。
3、倒装结构
当表示地点的介词词组位于句首时,一些表示“存在”之意的谓语动词,如be, lie, stand等,需和最靠近的主语保持一致。

时态
英语动词的形式:
英语的时态是通过动词的变化来体现的。因此,了解动词的形式及其变化规律非常重要。英语的实义动词有以下五种形式:
(1) 动词原形:动词原形在句子中形式不变。主要用于主语为非第三人称单数的一般现在时,情态动词之后,或根据语法规定必须用动词原形的其他情况。
(2) 一般现在时第三人称单数形式(简称现单三):主要用于主语为第三人称单数的一般现在时。
(3) 过去式:主要用于一般过去时。
(4) 现在分词:主要用于进行时态,或语法规定的其他情况。
(5) 过去分词:主要用于完成时态,或语法规定的其他情况。
这里提到的“语法规定的其他情况”以后会详细介绍。
下面把这些动词形式的构成说明一下。
动词一般现在时第三人称单数(现单三)的构成,见下表:
词尾变化(规律与名词变复数相同,读音也与名词复数相同) 举例
一般加-s help---________; read---_________
在ch, sh, s, x 或元音字母o后面加-es do--- __________, fix---__________,
pass---__________, push---___________, teach ---_____________
以辅音字母加y结尾的词,变y为i再加-es try--- _________, study ---_______________
动词过去式和过去分词,大多数是动词原形+ ed 构成,这是规则动词。规则动词的拼写和读音规则如下表:
词尾变化 举例
动词后面加-ed help---______ work---_______
Watch---____________
want--___________ need---__________
Turn---___________ play--_____________
以不发音的“e”结尾的词,加-d Love---__________Serve---__________
结尾是辅音字母+y时,y变i,再加-ed Study---_________ Try---____________
结尾只有一个辅音字母的重读闭音节词,双写辅音字母再加-ed Stop---___________ Drop---____________
不规则动词的过去式和过去分词有其特殊变化形式,需要个别记忆.
现在分词一律由动词原形加-ing构成,规则如下表:
词尾变化 举例
一般加-ing Look--_________, try---______________
以不发音的e结尾的词,去掉e,再加-ing Write---___________, dance---___________
以一个辅音字母(x除外)词尾的重读闭音节词,先双写词尾的辅音字母,再加-ing Begin---___________, swim---____________,
Run---__________, sit---_____________
以-ie结尾的词,变ie为y,再加-ing Die---_____________, lie---__________
“时态”就是通过动词的形态变化,来表达动作发生的时间(现在、过去、将来、过去将来)及所处的状态(一般、进行、完成、完成进行)。
比如在“They are doing their exercises.”这个句子中,动词由原形do 变成are doing 的形态,说明这个事情是发生在现在、并处于正在进行的状态当中,所以叫现在进行时;
在“They have done their exercises.”这句中,动词由原形do 变成have done的形态,说明这个事情是发生在现在、并处于完成的状态,所以叫现在完成时;
在“They always do their exercises.”中,动词用原形do 的形态,说明这个事情是发生在现在、并且是一般情况下永远如此,所以叫一般现在时。
在这三句话中,动词do 虽然用了不同的形态,其意义没有变化,而是事情发生的时间和状态变了。其余类推。
常用的时态有12个:一般现在时、一般过去时、一般将来时、过去将来时、现在进行时、过去进行时、将来进行时、现在完成时、过去完成时、将来完成时、现在完成进行时和过去完成进行时。其他时态很少单独使用。
下面我们把各种时态的构成和用法做一个全面的介绍。
1、一般现在时
(1)构成:通常以动词原形表示。主语为第三人称单数时,用现单三形式。
动词be和do各人称的单数形式为:
第一人称单数 第二人称单数 第三人称单数
Do do do does
Be Am Are is
(2)用法:
1)一般现在时表示现状、性质、状态和经常的或习惯性的动作。
He ______(have) an uncle.
It _______(be) fine today.
You __________ (look) pale.
He ________ (be) good at music.
He ______________ (know) a lot of English.
这些动词可与often, usually, always, sometimes, every day, once a week, on Sundays, never 等表示经常性或习惯性的时间状语连用。例如:
Do you often go to the cinema? 你经常去看电影吗?
He always helps others. 他总是帮助别人。
Tom does not study as hard as Jane. 汤姆在学习方面不如简努力。
My father never takes a bus; he walks to his office.我父亲从来不坐公共汽车,他走着去上班。
2)一般现在时表示客观现实或普遍真理。

Water ________(boil) at 100℃.

The plane _____________ at six past five. 飞机将于六点零五分起飞。
Tomorrow ____________ Sunday. 明天是星期天。

He’ll go if it _________ fine tomorrow. 如果明天天气好,他就去。
I shall be away when he _____________. 等他到了我就不在了。
We shall not begin the discussion until he __________. 等他来了,我们再开始讨论。
5)在某些以here, there 开头的句子中用一般现在时表示现在发生的动作。
Here comes the bus. 汽车来了。
There goes the bell. 铃响了。
Here they come. 他们来了。
6)在进行体育比赛过程中解说员叙述迅速、短暂动作时,可用一般现在时表示正在进行的或刚刚发生的动作。例如:
Bater passes the ball to Yao Ming. Yao shoots?A fine shot! 巴特尔把球传给姚明,姚明投篮,好球!
7)在戏剧、电影等的剧本或图片的说明文字中,可用一般现在时表示动作。例如:
When the curtain rises, Juliet is sitting at her desk. The phone rings. She picks it up and listens quietly. 幕启,朱丽叶坐在桌旁。电话铃响,她拿起听筒,静静地听着。
2、现在进行时
(1)构成:由助动词be + 现在分词构成。其中be有人称和数的变化,有三种形式:第一人称单数用am, 第三人称单数用is, 其他用are。
现在进行时的否定式是:直接在助动词be后面加上not;疑问式是:把助动词be提到主语之前。以study 为例:
否定式 疑问式
I am not studying Am I studying?
You are not studying, Are you studying?
He is not studying. Is he studying?
(2)用法:
1)现在进行时表示说话时正在发生或进行着的动作。例如:
I _______________ (write) a letter. 我正在写信。
They ________________(learn) English. 他们正在学习英语。
It ______________ (rain) now. 现在在下雨。
2)有些动词,如come, go, leave, return, arrive, begin, start等,它们的现在进行时可表示不远的将来要发生的事情。例如:
Flight 1095 ______________ soon. 第1095号航班马上要着陆了。
I know the end _________________. 我知道马上就要结束了。
Mary ______back from her visit to Shanghai. 玛丽很快就要从上海访问回来了。
3)现在进行时常与always, continually, constantly 等副词连用,表示反复出现的或习惯性的动作。这种用法常表示说话人的某种感情,如赞扬、遗憾、讨厌或不满等。例如:
比较下列句子:
He always asks questions. You always say that sort of thing.
He is always asking questions. You are always saying that sort of thing.
3、一般过去时
(1)构成:一般过去时通常由动词过去式表示。一般过去时的否定式、疑问式和简单回答形式要用助动词do 的过去式did, 同时注意实义动词要用原形。以study 为例,其否定式、疑问式和简单回答形式如下:
否定式 疑问式
I did not (didn’t) study…. Did I study…?
You did not (didn’t) study…. Did you study…?
He did not (didn’t) study…. Did he study…?
(2)用法:一般过去时动词主要表示过去某一时刻或某一段时间内发生的动作或情况,其中包括习惯性动作,通常与表示过去的时间状语连用。
The train _______________ (arrive) ten minutes ago. 火车十分钟前就到了。
What time_ you ___ (get) up yesterday morning? 昨天早晨你是什么时候起床的?
He always ________ (go) to work by bus. 他过去老乘车去上班。
4、现在完成时
(1)构成:现在完成时由助动词have + 过去分词构成,助动词have 有人称和数的变化。第三人称单数用has,其余用have.
现在完成时的否定式直接在助动词后面加上not、疑问式是把助动词提到主语之前。以study 为例,其否定式、疑问式和简单回答形式如下:
否定式 疑问式
I have not (haven’t) studied…. Have I studied…?
You have not (haven’t) studied…. Have you studied…?
He has not (hasn’t) studied…. Has he studied…?
(2)用法:
1)现在完成时通常表示在说话之前已经完成的动作或存在的状态。说话人强调的是该动作或状态对现在的结果或影响。而一般过去时也表示动作已经完成,但强调的是过去发生了某一动作这样一个事实。有的同学觉得这种说法比较难以理解,因为任何过去的动作对现在都有影响,很难判断用一般过去时或现在完成时。事实上,这种说法没有把现在完成时与一般过去时的根本区别说清楚。如果没有说明动作发生的具体时间,则一般用现在完成时;如果说明了动作发生的具体时间,带有表示过去的时间状语,则用一般过去时。例如:
My daughter _____________ (go) out. 我女儿刚出去。
I’m sure we ______________ (meet) before. 我肯定我们以前见过面。
She _____________________(arrive). 她到了。
2)表示持续到现在的动作或状态,往往和包括现在在内的表示一段时间的状语连用,如today, these days, recently, lately, for…, since…, in the last/past two weeks/years/days/months, just 等。如:
I _______________(hear) from her these days. 这些日子我没有收到她的信。
We _____________________ (see) you recently. 最近我们没有见到你。
They __________________ (be away) for two years. 他们离开已经两年了。
She __________________________ (be with us) since Monday.
她从星期一就一直和我们在一起。
注意:
1)表示短暂意义的动词如open, go, come, die, arrive, leave, lose, fall等,在完成时当中不能和包括现在在内的表示一段时间的状语连用,因为它们表示的动作不可能持续。因此,不能说:
×He has come here for 2 weeks.
×The old man has died for 4 months.
×They have left only for 5 minutes.
以上三句话可以改为:
It’s two weeks since he came here. He has been here for 2 weeks.
It’s 4 months since the old man died.
They have been away only for 5 minutes
2)have (has) been 和have (has) gone的区别:表示“曾到过某地”要用 “have (has) been”; 表示“已经去某地”要用 “have (has) gone”。试比较:
他刚才到哪里去了?(已经回来了)
Where has he been?
Where has he gone?
他上哪儿去了?(人不在)
Where has he been?
Where has he gone?
They have been to Canada.
_______________________________________
They have gone to Canada.
_______________________________________.
3)现在完成时不能和明确指出时间的状语,如yesterday, last year, in 1976, two days ago, just now, when I came in 等连用, 但可以和不明确指出时间的状语,如already, yet, sometimes, always, often, before, lately, recently, once, twice, ever, never等连用。例如:
She has already come. 她已经来了。
I haven’t read it yet. 我还没读过这个。
I have met him before. 我从前曾见过他。
Ma Hong has always been a good student. 马红一直是个好学生。
I have often seen him in the street. 我经常在街上看见他。
They have never been to Yan’an. 他们从未去过延安。
I haven't seen him lately. 我近来没看到他。
5、现在完成进行时
(1)构成: have/has been + 动词的现在分词
(2)用法:
1)表示动作从过去开始一直延续到现在,可能刚刚终止,也可能仍然在进行。
I’ve been waiting for you since eight o’clock in the morning.
It has been raining for three hours.
What book have you been reading recently?
2)有些动词不能用于现在进行时,如be, have, like, love, know, see, hear等,这些词同样也不能用于现在完成进行时。如:
I haven’t seen you for ages. 我好久没见到你了。
I have loved her for a long time. 我一直爱她。
I have known him for a long time. 我认识他很久了。
3)现在完成时表示到现在为止已经完成的动作,强调结果;而现在完成进行时强调动作的持续性,强调“一直”,往往表示动作仍未结束。如:
我一直在读这本小说。(我仍然在读) ____________________________
我已读过两本小说。(可能刚读过,也可能很久以前读的)
____________________________________________
我一直都在写信。_____________________________
我已经写完三封信了。__________________________
6、过去进行时
(1)构成:由助动词be 的过去式 + 现在分词构成。其中be有人称和数的变化,第一、第三人称单数用was,其他用were.
(2)用法:
1)过去进行时动词主要表示在过去某一时刻或某一段时间内正在进行或持续进行的动作。过去进行时经常与过去时配合使用。例如:
This time yesterday, we were having an English lesson.
The teacher was giving us a lesson when Tom walked into the room.
While we were having supper, all the lights went out.
7、过去完成时
(1)构成:一律用had + 过去分词构成。
(2)用法:
1)表示发生在过去某一时间或动作之前的事情,即“过去的过去”。用过去完成时,必须有一个过去的时间或动作来作参照,说明在此之前某事已发生。如果两个动作都是在过去发生的,先发生的用过去完成时,后发生的用一般过去时。例如:
She ______ (tell) me she __________(be) there three times before. 她告诉我她以前到过那里三次。
When we _________ (arrive), the football match ______________ (begin). 我们到的时候,足球赛已经开始了。
She ___________ (visit) China twice before she __________ (come) this year. 她今年来中国之前已访问过中国两次了。
8、一般将来时
一般将来时动词表示将来发生的动作或情况。主要有以下几种表现形式:
(1)shall/will + 动词原形
表示单纯的将来,不涉及主语的主观意愿。第一人称I, we用shall 或will,其余用will. 其否定式、疑问式和简单回答形式如下:
否定式 疑问式
I shall/will not study…. Shall I study…?
You will not study…. Will you study…?
He will not study…. Will he study…?
否定疑问式 简单回答(肯定/否定)
Shall I not (shan’t i) study…? Yes, you will. No, you won’t.
Will you not (Won’t you) study…? Yes, I shall/will. No, I shan’t/won’t.
Will he not (Won’t he) study….? Yes, he will. No, he won’t.
例如:
I shall be twenty years old next year. 我明年二十岁。
The sky is black. I think it will rain. 天黑下来了。我想可能会下雨。
You will meet him at the station this afternoon. 你下午会在车站碰到他。
The train will arrive soon. 火车快要到了。
When shall we see you next time? 我们下次什么时候能看见你呢?
He probably won’t go with us. 他大概不能和我们一起去。
注意:
1)shall, will的缩写形式为’ll, 如I’ll, you’ll, he’ll 和she’ll等。
2)will 用于第一人称时,可以表示将来的意愿、决心、允诺、命令等;shall用于第二、三人称时,可以表示说话人的将来的意愿。例如:
I will give you a new pen for your birthday. 我将送你一支新钢笔作为生日礼物。(允诺)
I will take the college entrance examination. 我将参加大学入学考试。(决心)
Shall I open the window? 我打开窗户好吗?(征求允诺)
You shall have the book as soon as I get it. 我一拿到书就给你。(说话人的允诺)
The enemy shall not pass. 决不让敌人通过。(说话人的保证)
I will do my best to help you. 我愿意尽力帮助你。(意愿)
Nobody shall be late for the meeting. 任何人开会都不能迟到。(说话人的命令)
(2)be going + 动词不定式
1)这种结构表示主体现在打算在最近或将来要做某事。这种打算往往是事先考虑好的。例如:
My brother is going to learn English next year. 我哥哥准备明年学英语。
I am going to meet Tom at the station at six. 我六点钟要到火车站去接汤姆。
She is not going to be there. 她不会到那儿去的。
When are you going to finish your work? 你的工作什么时候做完?
He is going to stay a week. 他准备呆一星期。
We are going to call a meeting to discuss it. 我们准备开个会来讨论一下。
2)这种结构还可以表示说话人根据已有的迹象认为非常可能即将发生某事。例如:
Look at these black clouds?it is going to rain. 看这些乌云?要下雨了。
I think it is going to snow. 我看要下雪。
I am afraid I am going to have a bad cold. 恐怕我要得重感冒。
注意:
1)will 和be going to 都可以表示某种意愿。例如:
I won’t (am not going to) tell you my age. 我不(愿意)告诉你我的年龄。
be going to 和will在含义和用法上略有不同。Be going to往往表示事先经过考虑的打算;will多表示意愿,决心。有时不能互换。例如:
I have bought some bricks and I am going to build a kitchen with them.我买了些砖,我要用它们盖个厨房。(不能用will替换)
Can somebody help me? ?I will. 谁能帮我一些吗?―?我来。(不能用be going to替换)
2)be going to 可用于条件从句,表示单纯的将来;will则不能。例如:
If you are going to go to the cinema this evening, you’d better take your umbrella with you. 你若今晚去看电影,最好带着雨伞。
(3)be to + 动词原形,表示安排、命令或肯定将会发生的事情;在问句中表示征求意见。如:
You are not to smoke in this room. 你不许在这个房间里抽烟。
In future you are not to go out alone. 将来你不许一个人出去。
The worst is still to come. 最糟糕的还在后面呢。
Tomorrow is still to come. 明天过了还有明天。
(4)be about + 动词不定式。这种结构表示正要、即将发生的事情。例如:
Let’s go in. The class is about to begin. 咱们进去吧。马上开始上课了。
They are about to get married. 他们即将结婚。
My book is about to be published. 我的书即将出版。
一般将来时的关键是记住表示将来的几种句型及其用法。
练习:
用be going to 或will.填空:
1)What are you doing with that spade? ?I ___ (plant) some trees.
2)This is a terribly heavy box. ?I ___ (help) you carry it.
3) I’ve left my watch upstairs. ?I ___ (go) and get it for you.
4) Who will post this letter for me? ?I ____.
5) She has bought a length of cloth; she ____ (make) herself a dress.
二、关于动词时态的几点说明
1、一般不用进行时的动词,它们用一般现在时表示现在进行时
(1)表示心理状态的词:accept, agree, allow, believe, care, dislike, fear, forget, hate, know, like, love, mean, mind, need, prefer, realize, remember, respect, understand, want, wish等。还有 admit, decide, permit, promise, receive, refuse等。
I accept what you say. 我接受你说的话。
I don't agree to this proposal. 我不同意这个建议。
(2)感官动词和表示状态的动词一般不用进行时。系动词:如hear, look, notice, see, smell, sound, taste等词。表示状态的词:be, belong to, exist, have, remain, seem, stay等词。如:
I see him now; he’s talking to a girl.
The warships belong to the navy and the tanks belong to the army.
It sounds strange, but it is true.
2、时态的呼应
时态的呼应也叫时态的一致,是指在复合句中,某些从句(主要是宾语从句等名词性从句)的时态常受主句时态的影响,因而要注意主从句两部分的时态呼应。
(1)主句是现在时态或将来时时,从句可以用任何所需要的时态。
He says his father is/was/will be a teacher.
They will tell you that they are living/lived/will live/have lived in shanghai.
(2)主句是过去时态时,从句要在原来的时态的上加一个过去:
三、几个常用时态的比较
1、一般现在时与现在进行时
(1)一般现在时用以说明客观事实,或用于强调动作的永久性、经常或反复性。而现在进行时强调动作正在进行,因此它表示动作含有暂时性(即动作的持续时间是有限的)和未完成性。
The writer writes children’s stories. 那位作家是写儿童小说的。(说明客观事实)
The writer is now writing a story. 那位作家现在正在编写一个故事。
She is kind. 她很善良。(指她一贯心地善良)
She is being kind. 她现在显得很善良。(表示暂时性,平时她并不善良)
Tom types his own letters. 汤姆自己用打印机打信。(说明经常性)
Tom is typing his own letters today. 汤姆今天自己正在用打印机打信(表示暂时)
(2)有些动词,如:like, hate, believe, guess, know, mean, remember, hear, see, sound, seem等,不能用于进行时,即使表示说话时正在进行的动作也通常用一般现在时。如:
I know him. 我认识他。(不说:I am knowing him.)
Jenny likes this green coat.
某些动词既可用于一般现在时,又可用于现在进行时,但意义有所不同。试比较:
I feel (=think, believe) you are right/there’s something wrong. 我觉得(=认为、相信)你是对的/有点不对头。(这个意思不用进行时 )
I’m feeling cold. 我觉得冷。
What are you thinking about? 你在想些什么。
What do you think of the idea? 你认为这个主意怎样?
某些表示身体感觉的词(如 hurt, ache, feel等),用一般现在时和现在进行时没有多大差别,只是进行时更生动、更有感情色彩。例如:
How do you feel today? (or: How are you feeling today?) 你今天的感觉怎样。
My head is aching. (or: My head aches.) 我头疼。
I feel cold.=I’m feeling cold. 我觉得冷。
(3)一般现在时说明事实,一般不带感情色彩;现在进行时与always, often, frequently等词连用时带有感情色彩。例如:
He always asks questions. 他总是提问题。(无感情色彩)
He is always asking questions. 他老爱提问题。(表示强烈的感情色彩)
Don’t be complaining all the time. 别老是抱怨个不停。
She’s always blaming others. 她总是在埋怨别人。
2、一般过去时与现在完成时
(1)一般过去时只是单纯说明过去的情况,和现在不发生联系,它可以确定的表示过去的时间状语连用。而现在完成时表示某一完成的动作对现在造成的影响或结果,强调的是现在的情况,所以它不能和具体的表示过去的时间状语连用。如:
I have lost my pen. 我把钢笔丢了。(还没有找到)
She lost her pen yesterday. 她昨天把钢笔丢了。(现在找到与否,没有说明)
(2)有些时间状语,如 this morning, tonight, this month等,既可以用于一般过去时,也可以用于完成时,但所表达的意义有所不同。用于现在完成时表示包括“现在 ”而用于一般过去时则与“现在”无关。例如:
I have read this book this April. 我今年四月份看过这本书。(讲话时仍是四月)
I read this book this April. 我今年四月份看过这本书。(讲话时四月已过)
I have written two letters this morning. 今天上午我写了两封信。(讲话时仍是上午)
I wrote two letters this morning. 今天上午我写了两封信。(讲话时是下午或晚上)
3、一般过去时与过去进行时
一般过去时表示过去发生的事情,往往表示动作已结束;而过去进行时侧重动作正在进行、未完成。试比较:
Mary wrote a letter to her friend last night. (信写完了)
Mary was writing a letter to her friend last night. (信不一定写完)
I read a novel last night. 昨天晚上我看了一本小说。(指已经看完了)
I was reading a novel last night. 昨天晚上我在看小说。(指看了一些)
4、一般过去时和过去完成时
(1)一般过去时表示过去发生的动作或存在的状态,而过去完成时表示在过去某一动作发生在另一动作之前。试比较:
The class had already begun when I came to school. 我来到学校时,已经开始上课。
He had gone home before I got to his office. 我到他办公室以前,他已回家了。
(2)有after或before引导的时间状语从句的复合句中,由于从句动作和主句动作发生的先后顺序已经非常明确,所以可以用一般过去时代替过去完成时:
He called on me soon after he had returned. 他回来不久便拜访我。也可以说:He called on me soon after he returned.
The train had left before I got to the station. 我到车站时,火车已经开走了。也可以说:The train left before I got to the station。
(3)描述一连串的过去动作,无需用过去完成时,例如:
He stood up, took his bag, put on his hat, left the room and went away.
She looked around but saw nothing.
由于汉语与英语表达时态的方式不同,中国人在学习和应用英语时经常犯时态错误,尤其是在写信、写电子邮件、写记叙文时。常见的时态错误类型有:时态不对应;通篇须用几种时态时用一种时态;时态混用或串用(如在描写过去的经历时,有时用现在时);不用进行时。我们如果在日常口头交际中犯点时态错误,这在所难免,也可以理解。但是,在正式场合,如正式写作中,就不能允许出现时态错误,因为这是英语语法的基础。我们学习时态的目的,主要在于应用。因此,在使用英语,尤其是在写作时,一定要有时态意识,长此以往就能养成正确使用时态的习惯。

被动语态
(一)简介
在英语中,语态是动词的一种形式,表示主语和谓语的关系。英语动词有两种语态,即主动语态和被动语态。
主动语态(active voice) 表示主语是动作的执行者;
被动语态(passive voice)表示主语是动作的承受者。
如:
Saddam is being tried(审判). ______________
The Iraqi government is trying Saddam. ______________
More and more people use computers now. ________________
Computers are more and more widely used now. ________________
(二)英汉两种语言在表达被动方式上的差异
汉语表达被动语态非常简单明了,用“被”“遭”“受”等词来表示,如“被捕”、“被杀”、“受到凌辱”等。而英语表达被动的方式也不复杂,用“助动词be+动词的过去分词”表示。其中助动词be有人称、数量和时态的变化,而这正是英语被动语态的难点。
(三)被动语态的构成
被动语态由“be+及物动词的过去分词”构成。这里要强调一定是及物动词的过去分词,因为不及物动词不能带宾语,也就不可能有被动语态。英语主动语态有16个时态;被动语态常用的有8个,以give为例说明如下:
时态 动词形式
一般现在时 am/ is/ are given
一般过去时
一般将来时
现在进行时
过去进行时
过去将来时
现在完成时
过去完成时
被动语态的疑问句是将第一个助动词移到主语之前、句末用问号;
否定式是在第一个助动词后加not或never等其他否定词、句末用句号。
如:
“面试的时候,用英语问你问题了吗?
“During the interview, ________________________________________”
“没有,没有用英语问我问题。”
“No, __________________________________.””
那家餐馆正在装修(decorate)吗?
___________________________________________?
那家餐馆没有在装修。
___________________________________________.
实际上,那家餐馆从来没有装修过。
In fact ______________________________________.
(四)被动语态的用法
1、不知道或没有必要指出动作的执行者。换个说法,有一件事情不知道是谁干的或者不想说出是谁干的,这时就用被动语态。
I felt a little nervous when I was being interviewed.
These fighters are imported from Russia.
That place has been turned into a swimming pool.
2、说话或发表意见时,为了显得客观公正,也常用被动语态
He’s said/believed/reported to be in the U. S. A. 据说/据信/据报道他在美国。
还有下列常用句型(that后面跟句子):
据说 ________________________ 据报道 ___________________________
希望 ________________________ 人们相信 _________________________
据宣布 ______________________ 众所周知 _________________________
已经决定 ____________________ 人们认为 _________________________
有人建议 ____________________ 务必记住 _________________________
被视为当然 __________________
(五)主动句变被动句的注意事项
一、________________不能改变;
二、变为被动语态后,谓语动词要和________________ 在人称、数上保持一致。
还要作如下变动:
1. 把主动语态的_________变为被动语态的_____________;
2. 主动语态的主语放在介词 ________ 的后面,组成介词短语,再把这个介词短语放在被动语态的谓语动词之后。
3. 在动作的执行者无须说明或不必要强调时,by短语可以省略。
They will open a new supermarket there soon.
A new supermarket will be opened there soon.
The doctor gave two lectures in English.
Two lectures were given by the doctor in English.
Somebody has warned us to be careful of rats.
We have been warned to be careful of rats.
4. 如果主动语态有两个宾语(直接宾语和间接宾语),变为被动语态时,可将其中任何一个宾语变为主语,另一个不变。
The reporters asked the president some questions.
The president was asked some questions by the reporters.
Some questions were asked the president by the reporters.
(六)含有情态动词的被动语态
句中含有情态动词时,其被动语态的结构是:____________________
The timetable can be changed any time.
This book may not be taken out of the reading room.
This dictionary must be taken good care of.
(七)不能用于被动语态的动词
1、不及物动词不能用于被动语态,因为它们没有宾语。
2、表示状态而不是动作的及物动词,如 break out, belong to, cost, deserve, fit, have ( 有、使),hold (盛下、装下),lack, resemble, suit, take part in, take place, want, wish等动词不能变为被动语态。例如:
Everybody wanted Doris to be the manager.
We like everybody to say what they think.
Do you wish me to stay?
Will you help me (to) do the work?
The war broke out in 1937.
This car belongs to me.
He has a good job.
They have a large house.
I’ll have him come early.
Though I like the dress, it doesn’t fit me.
We lack manpower at the moment.
My computer cost me seven hundred and ninety dollars.
She resembles her father.
(八)关于被动语态的几点说明
1、make, see, watch, hear, notice, feel等使役动词和感官动词的宾语后面可以接不带to的不定式作宾补。但在被动语态中,不定式符号to必须补上。例如:
They made him go.
He was made______________.
I heard him say good-bye to his friends.
He was heard _______________________.
2、除助动词be外,动词get有时也可跟过去分词构成被动语态,是比较口语化的一种被动语态。这种结构中很少用by短语。例如:
I got lost in the huge market.
You might get killed/ hurt.
In the end this story got translated into English.
His car got damaged in a road accident.
3、在need, want, require后面,主动的-ing形式表达被动的意思:
My watch needs cleaning. (=…needs to be cleaned)
Your garden needs watering. (=_______________________)
Does your suit require pressing, sir?
(=_______________________)
The car wants servicing. (=_______________________)
(九)练习
1、将下列句子变成被动语态:[主要步骤是:把原句的宾语变成主语(代词宾格要变成主格);把原句的谓语动词变成被动形式(注意:时态不变,新谓语动词与新主语要一致,疑问句要注意助动词的转换)。复合句中如有可能主句和从句都要变成被动语态。]
1)He gave me a present.
2)My sister made the soup.
3)The workers could not find the manager anywhere in the factory.
4)The army engineers and soldiers have built a bridge over the river.
5)The police will surely arrest the thieves.
6)My brother will repair my bike for me.
7)You must clean your watch once a year.
8)I didn’t tell you Xiao Wang could do the job.
9)I cannot find my dictionary. Someone has taken it.
10)She cannot find her bag. Someone must have taken it.
11)The pupils asked the teacher to tell a story.
12)The Association asked Mr. Green to make a speech.
13)The government is sending him abroad.
14)He told me to wait here for him.
15)Mr. Hopkins has found his wallet.
16)The workers themselves invented the new machine.
17)They set up this hospital in 1950.

20)They do not make this kind of watches in Beijing.
21)People call him Little Old Man.
22)John answered all the questions.
23)The farmer was ploughing the field.
24)People speak English in almost all the countries of the world.
25)The wind blew the clouds away.
26)We shall paint the room.
27)Must I do all the exercises on my own?
28)I am going to ring Tom up.
29)Everyone expects that he will win.

句子(Sentences)
一、句子的定义
句子的定义:句子是包含主语和谓语部分的一组词。它有一定的语法结构和语调,用以表达一个比较完整的独立的概念。句子开头的第一个字母要大写,句子末尾要有句号、问号或感叹号。如: (1) The foundation of democracy is the will of the people to preserve liberty. 民主的基础就是人民维护自由的意愿。(2) What motives governed his actions? 是什么动机支配他的行动的?(3) This story is great! 这则故事太棒了!
二、句子的种类和类型
句子按其用途可分为四个种类:
1、陈述句(declarative sentence), 用以陈述事实。如:
(1) The daisy is a common flower in English fields.
雏菊在英格兰大地上是一种常见的花。
(2) I don’t care what she thinks.
我不在乎她想什么。
2、疑问句(interrogative sentences), 用以提出问题。如:
(1) Your friend is a doctor, isn’t he?
你朋友是个医生,对吗?
(2) When do we meet again?
我们什么时候再见面?
3、祈使句(imperative sentences), 用以表示命令、请求等。如:
(1) Have a good sleep and think it over.
好好睡一觉,再仔细考虑一下。
(2) Let the meat cook slowly.
把肉用文火煮。
4、感叹句(exclamatory sentences), 用以表示各种强烈的感情。如:
(1) What a delicious hamburger!
多美味的汉堡!
(2) The noise will deafen us all!
该噪音会使我们大家耳聋的!
句子按其结构可分为四种型式:
1、简单句(simple sentences),由一个主语部分和一个谓语部分组成。如:
(1) The cause of the fire was a cigarette-end.
这次火灾是由一根烟头造成的。
(2) He asked to see the chief of the tribe.
他求见这个部落的酋长。
2、并列句(compound sentences),由两个或两个以上的分句组成。如:
(1) Cotton is falling in price, and buyers hold off.
棉花正在落价,可买主仍犹豫不决。
(2) Henry prefers strawberry pie, but his wife always bakes apple pie.
亨利喜欢吃草莓馅饼,可他的妻子经常烤苹果馅饼。
3、复合句(complex sentences),由主句和其他从句组成。如:
(1) I have to hurry to deposit this money before the bank closes.
我得赶在银行关门前把这笔钱存起来。
(2) He was an old man who wore thick glasses.
他年纪大了,戴着很深的眼镜。
4、并列复合句(compound complex sentences), 即含有复合句的并列句。如:
(1) The ad said that the coat was on sale for $20, but it was actually $22.
广告说这件外衣卖20美元,可它实际上是22美元。
(2) I asked a man who has a wife and three children who did the cooking in his house and he replied that whoever came home from work first did it. 我问一个有妻子和三个孩子的人,他家谁做饭; 他回答说,谁先下班回来,谁就做饭。
三、句子的成分
句子由各个组成部分构成,这些组成部分叫做句子的成分(members of the sentences)。总的来说,句子皆由两大部分组成。一是主语部分(subject group), 一是谓语部分(predicate group). 如:
1、The People’s Republic of China was born in 1949.
中华人民共和国成立于1949年。
句中的the People’s Republic of China即是主语部分,was born in 1949即是谓语部分。但句子的成分要比句子的两大部分更加明确具体,可分为主语、谓语(或谓语动词)、表语、宾语、定语、状语、补语、独立成分等。如:
2、The weather was quite nice.
天气相当好。(weather 是主语,nice 是表语,quite 是状语)
3、I need a quite room to study in.
我需要一间安静的屋子进行学习。(need是谓语或谓语动词,room是宾语,quite是定语)
4、In a fierce shootout five criminals were shot dead.
在一次猛烈交火中,五个罪犯被打死。(dead是主语补语)
5、Unfortunately, he had his watch stolen.
很不幸,他的表被偷了。(unfortunately是独立成分,stolen是宾语补语)
词类与句子的成分不同。前者纯指单词的分类,后者则指词类、短词、从句等在句子中的功能。词类中也只有具有实义的词类,如名词、代词、数词、动词、形容词和副词等,才可用作句子的成分。其他无实义的虚词,如冠词、连词和介词,则不可用作句子的成分。
四、英语语句基本结构分析:
>>主谓宾结构:
主语:可以作主语的成分有名词(如boy),主格代词(如you),动词不定式,动名词等。主语一般在句首。注意名词单数形式常和冠词不分家!
谓语:谓语由动词构成,是英语时态、语态变化的主角,一般在主语之后。不及物动词(vi.)没有宾语,形成主谓结构,如:We come.
宾语:宾语位于及物动词之后,一般同主语构成一样,不同的是构成宾语的代词必须是‘代词宾格’,如:me,him,them等
例:The boy needs a pen.主语the boy,谓语needs(need的第三人称单数形式),宾语a pen.
>>主系表结构:
主语:同‘主谓宾’结构。
联系动词(Link verb):be动词(am,is,are,was,were,have been);其他联系动词如:become成为,turn变成,go变。其特点是联系动词与其后的表语没有动宾关系,表语多为形容词或副词,既,不可能是宾语。
表语:说明主语的状态、性质、等。可为形容词、副词、名词、代词、不定式、分词。当联系动词不是be,而其后是名词和代词时,多表达‘转变为’之意,注意与动宾关系的区别。
感官动词多可用作联系动词:look well/面色好,sound nice/听起来不错,feel good/感觉好,smell bad/难闻
例:Tom is a boy.(Tom是个男孩)/主语为Tom,系词为be动词的第三人称单数is,表语为a boy
>>There be 结构:
There be 表示‘存在有’。这里的there没有实际意义,不可与副词‘there那里’混淆。
此结构后跟名词,表示‘(存在)有某事物’
试比较:There is a boy there.(那儿有一个男孩。)/前一个there无实意,后一个there为副词‘那里’。
一、定语:定语是对名词或代词起修饰、限定作用的词、短语或句子,汉语中常用‘……的’表示。 返回
定语通常位于被修饰的成分前。若修饰some,any,every,no构成的复合不定代词时,(如:something、nothing);或不定式、分词短语作定语、从句作定语时,则定语通常置后。副词用作定语时须放在名词之后。
形容词作定语:
The little boy needs a blue pen.(little修饰名词boy;blue修饰名词pen.)/小男孩需要一支兰色的钢笔。
Tom is a handsome boy./Tom是个英俊的男孩。
There is a good boy./有个乖男孩。
数词作定语相当于形容词:
Two boys need two pens./两个男孩需要两支钢笔。
The two boys are students./这两个男孩是学生。
There are two boys in the room./房间里有两个男孩。
代词或名词所有格作定语:
His boy needs Tom's pen./他的男孩需要Tom的钢笔。
His name is Tom./他的名字是汤姆。
There are two boys of Toms there./那儿有Tom家的两个男孩。
介词短语作定语:
The boy in the classroom needs a pen of yours./教室里的男孩需要你的一支钢笔。
The boy in blue is Tom./穿兰色衣服的孩子是汤姆。
There are two boys of 9,and three of 10./有两个9岁的,三个10岁的男孩。
名词作定语:
The boy needs a ball pen./男孩需要一支圆珠笔。
It is a ball pen./这是一支圆珠笔。
There is only one ball pen in the pencil box./这铅笔盒里只有一支圆珠笔。
副词作定语:
The boy there needs a pen./那儿的男孩需要一支钢笔。
The best boy here is Tom./这里最棒的男孩是Tom。
不定式作定语:
The boy to write this letter needs a pen./写这封信的男孩需要一支钢笔。
The boy to write this letter is Tom./将要写这封信的男孩是汤姆。
There is nothing to do today./今天无事要做。
分词(短语)作定语:
The smiling boy needs a pen bought by his mother./那个微笑的男孩需要一支他妈妈买的钢笔。
The pen bought by her is made in China./她买的笔是中国产的。
There are five boys left./有五个留下的男孩。
定语从句:
The boy who is reading needs the pen which you bought yesterday./那个在阅读的男孩需要你昨天买的钢笔。
The boy you will know is Tom./你将认识的男孩叫汤姆。
There are five boys who will play the game./参加游戏的男孩有五个。
二、状语:状语修饰动词、形容词、副词或全句,说明方式、因果、条件、时间、地点、让步、方向、程度、目的等。 返回
状语在句子中的位置很灵活,常见情况为:通常在句子基本结构之后,强调时放在句首;修饰形容词或副词时,通常位于被修饰的词之前;表示时间、地点、目的的状语一般位于句子两头,强调时放在句首,地点状语一般须在时间状语之前;一些表示不确定时间(如:often)或程度(如:almost)的副词状语通常位于be动词、助动词、情态动词之后,动词之前。
有时状语在句中的某个位置会引起歧义,应注意,如:The boy calls the girl in the classroom.一般理解成‘男孩喊教室里的女孩‘(此时in the classroom为girl的定语),也可以理解为‘男孩在教室里喊女孩’(此时in the classroom为地点状语),最好写作‘In the classroom, the boy calls the girl.'
副词(短语)作状语:
The boy needs a pen very much./男孩非常需要一支钢笔。(程度状语)
The boy needs very much the pen bought by his mother./男孩非常需要他母亲买的那支钢笔。(宾语较长则状语前置)
The boy really needs a pen./男孩真的需要一支钢笔。(程度状语)
The boy needs a pen now./Now,the boy needs a pen./The boy,now,needs a pen./男孩现在需要一支钢笔。(时间状语)
介词短语作状语:
In the classroom,the boy needs a pen./在教室里,男孩需要一支钢笔。(地点状语)
Before his mother,Tom is always a boy./在母亲面前,汤姆总是一个男孩子.(条件状语)
On Sundays,there is no student in the classroom./星期天,教室里没有学生.(时间状语)
分词(短语)作状语:
He sits there,asking for a pen./他坐在那儿要一支笔。(表示伴随状态)
Having to finish his homework,the boy needs a pen./因为不得不完成作业,男孩需要一支笔。(原因状语)
Frightened,he sits there soundlessly./(因为)受了惊吓,他无声地坐在那儿。(原因状语)
不定式作状语:
The boy needs a pen to do his homework./男孩需要一支笔写家庭作业。(目的状语)
To make his dream come true,Tom becomes very interested in business./为实现梦想,汤姆变得对商业很有兴趣.
名词作状语:
Come this way!/走这条路!(方向状语)
状语从句:
时间状语从句 地点状语从句 原因状语从句 结果状语从句
比较状语从句 让步状语从句 条件状语从句 目的状语从句
三、直接宾语和间接宾语:
>>>特殊的同源宾语现象: fight a fight , dream a dream , etc.
有些及物动词可以有两个宾语,如:give给,pass递,bring带,show显示。这两个宾语通常一个指人,为间接宾语;一个指物,为直接宾语。间接宾语一般位于直接宾语之前。
一般的顺序为:动词 + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语。如:Give me a cup of tea,please.
强调间接宾语顺序为:动词 + 直接宾语 + to + 间接宾语。如Show this house to Mr.Smith.
若直接宾语为人称代词:动词+ 代词直接宾语 + to + 间接宾语。如:Bring it to me,please.
四、宾语补足语:位于宾语之后对宾语作出说明的成分。宾语与其补足语有逻辑上的主谓关系,它们一起构成复合宾语。 返回
名词/代词宾格 + 名词
The war made him a soldier./战争使他成为一名战士.
名词/代词宾格 + 形容词
New methods make the job easy./新方法使这项工作变得轻松.
名词/代词宾格 + 介词短语
I often find him at work./我经常发现他在工作.
名词/代词宾格 + 动词不定式
The teacher ask the students to close the windows./老师让学生们关上窗户.
名词/代词宾格 + 分词
I saw a cat running across the road./我看见一只猫跑过了马路.
五、同位语: 返回
同位语是在名词或代词之后并列名词或代词对前者加以说明的成分,近乎于后置定语。如:
We students should study hard. / (students是we的同位语,都是指同一批‘学生’)
We all are students. / (all是we的同位语,都指同样的‘我们’)
六、独立成分:有时句子中会有一些与句子没有语法联系的成分,称为句子独立成分(注意:区别于分词独立结构)。 返回
感叹词:oh, hello, aha, ah,等。
肯定词yes 否定词no
称呼语:称呼人的用语。
插入语:一些句中插入的 I think , I believe,等。
如: The story, I think, has never come to the end./我相信,这个故事还远没结束.
情态词,表示说话人的语气(多作为修饰全句的状语):perhaps也许,maybe大概, acturely实际上,certainly当然,等。
七、分词独立结构:分词作状语时其逻辑主语与句子的主语一致! 否则应有自己的逻辑主语,构成分词独立结构。例:
错句:Studying hard, your score will go up.
正确:(1) Studying hard, you can make your score go up. 或 (2)If you study hard, your score will go up.
解析:错句中分词studying没有自带逻辑主语,则其逻辑主语就是句子的主语,既your score . 显然做study的应是人,不应是your score(分数). 正确句(1)更正了句子的主语,使其与分词逻辑主语一致( 同为you );正确句(2)则使用条件分句带出study的主语,(不过已经不是分词结构了).
分词独立结构常省略being, having been.不过‘There being...’的场合不能省略.
如:
Game (being) over, he went home.
He stands there, book (being) in hand.
独立结构还可用with、without引导,作状语或定语。这种结构不但可以用分词,还可以用不定式、形容词、介词短语、副词或名词等。
如:
With nothing to do, he fell asleep soon./无事可做,他很快就睡了。
The teacher came in, with glasses on his nose./老师进来了,戴着一付眼镜。(注意,此句on his nose不可省略!)
五、基本句式
句子用词准确、合乎语法规范是一篇文章最起码的要求。英语句子虽然千变万化,但就一个简单句来说,其基本结构不外乎以下五种:
1、主语 + 系动词 + 表语
Our city is at the crossing of some important railways.
主语 系动词 表语
The city will become rich.
主语 系动词 表语
在这类结构中最常用的系动词是be, look(看起来),sound(听起来),smell(闻起来),taste(尝起来),feel(摸起来,感到),seem(似乎,好像),appear(显得,好像),remain(仍是),keep(保持),become(变得,成为),turn(变得,成为),get(变得),go(变得)等表示状态和变化的词,而充当表语的词语则有名词、形容词、副词、介词短语和非谓语动词等。
2、主语 + 谓语
Building has started.
主语 谓语
The train leaves at 7:40.
主语 谓语
该句型中的谓语为不及物动词,其后不带宾语,但可以根据实际需要带上一个合适的状语,状语的位置可放在句首、句中或句尾,一般以句尾为多见。谓语动词的前面根据需要还可加上适当的情态动词或助动词。如果多个谓语动词并列,可用and, but等并列连词将它们连接起来。
在英语中,主语是动作的执行者,充当主语的词和结构有:名词、代词、数词、动名词、不定式和从句等。充当谓语的词只能是动词。
谓语动词在人称和数上须与主语保持一致。
3、主语 + 谓语 + 宾语
The boss employed five more workers.
主语 谓语 宾语
Few students like taking exams.
主语 谓语 宾语
动词后接宾语时应该用及物动词,若动词不及物则须在动词后再加上合适的介词,如What are you looking for?
在这类结构中,宾语是动作的承受者。常见的充当宾语的词语和结构有;名词、代词、非谓语动词和从句等。
4、主语 + 谓语 + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语/主语 + 谓语 + 直接宾语 + 间接宾语
He has fetched us some new textbooks.
主语 谓语 间接宾语 直接宾语
A car factory will bring the province more jobs.
主语 谓语 间接宾语 直接宾语
此句型中的及物动词须跟两个宾语,间接宾语一般指人,直接宾语一般指物。间接宾语可以放在直接宾语的前面,也可放在直接宾语的后面,但间接宾语放在后面时需在其前面加上适当的介词。例:A car factory will bring more jobs to the province.
可接双宾语的常见动词有:ask, answer, give, offer, send, bring, pass, tell, show, teach, promise等。
5、主语 + 谓语 + 宾语 + 宾语补足语
The villagers didn’t allow them to do this.
主语 谓语 宾语 宾语补足语
I will keep the box in the shade.
主语 谓语 宾语 宾语补足语
该句型中的“宾语 + 宾语补足语”又叫做“复合宾语”,其特点是宾语与其补语之间是逻辑上的主谓关系,宾语相当于汉语里的兼语式,它既充当前面谓语的宾语,又兼作其后宾语补足语的逻辑主语。
充当宾语补足语的词语和结构有:名词、形容词、副词、介词短语、非谓语动词等。
当主语、宾语、宾语补足语是由名词充当时,根据需要还可在其前面加上名词、数词、形容词,或在其后面加上副词、介词短语、非谓语动词等定语成分来修饰相关名词。
可接复合宾语的常见动词有:ask, tell, find, help, like, allow, take, make, let, have(使得), force(强迫), call, advise, persuade(劝服), watch, see, hear, feel(认为,觉得), consider(认为), choose, elect(选)等。
上面句型中只列出了句子的主要成分,事实上,句子中还常常有定语、状语和同位语等修饰语,有时还有不充当句子成分的插入语等。例:
Professor Wang bought a new computer at a high price.
定语 状语
在句子中,不同的句子成分对词性有不同的要求。主语、宾语和同位语一般由名词、代词、动名词和动词不定式充当;谓语一般由动词充当;表语、宾语补足语、定语、状语和插入语一般由动词以外的词或短语充当。
一般来讲,一个句子至少具有一个主语和一个谓语(或系表结构),但在上下文中有时可能会有省略现象。省略后的句子可能会缺少包括主语、谓语在内的一些句子成分。祈使句中的主语按要求也是应该舍去的。例:
“Do give her my regards.” “Of course I will.”
第一句是祈使句,动作执行人you已经舍去。第二句是省略句,根据上句I will后省略了give her your regards。
以上主要介绍的是简单句的基本句型,除简单句外,还有并列复合句和主从复合句等句式,但这些复合句实际上是由若干个简单句通过连词连接起来的,因此,写作复合句时仍可遵循简单句的结构形式。
例:My sister likes skating, but I don’t. (并列复合句)
I like to take a walk after I have my supper. (主从复合句)
练习:用括号内所提示的基本句型将下列句子译成英语,需要的话可加上适当的修饰语或插入语。
1、你的故事听起来很有趣。(主语 + 系动词 + 表语)
2、我感到有一点累。(主语 + 系动词 + 表语)
3、我妹妹是在农村长大的。(主语 + 谓语)
4、这家医院创建于1950年。(主语 + 谓语)
5、他因为车子开得太快而违反了交通规则。(主语 + 谓语 + 宾语)
6、他拿出一瓶啤酒,很快将其喝光。(主语 + 谓语 + 宾语)
7、顺便问一下,她把钱付给你了吗?(主语 + 谓语 + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语)
8、下学期谁教你们生物?(主语 + 谓语 + 间接宾语 + 直接宾语)
9、他总是把他的卧室收拾得干干净净。(主语 + 谓语 + 宾语 + 宾语补足语)
10、什么促使你这样想的?(主语 + 谓语 + 宾语 + 宾语补足语)
参考答案:
1.Your story sounds very interesting.
2.I felt a bit tired.
3.My younger sister grew up in the country.
