英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法 主謂一致 指的是謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞在人稱和數(shù)上必須與主語(yǔ)保持一致。處理主謂一致問題，可依據(jù)三項(xiàng)原則：語(yǔ)法上一致、意義上一致和就近一致。根據(jù)這些原則，總結(jié)如下： 一.謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)(1)以單數(shù)名詞或代詞、動(dòng)詞不定式短語(yǔ)、動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)或從句作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞一般要用單數(shù)動(dòng)詞。 例如：To work hard is necessary.努力工作是必要的。 Reading without comprehension is no good.只讀不理解是不好的。 It pays to work hard. 天道酬勤。(2)事件、國(guó)家、機(jī)構(gòu)名稱、書刊及其他作品的名稱(專有名詞)用作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)。 例如：The United States was formed in 1776.美國(guó)于1776年成立。 The New York Times still has a wide circulation.紐約時(shí)報(bào)發(fā)行量仍然很大。 Roots is a novel about a black family.根是一部關(guān)于(美國(guó))黑人家庭的小說(shuō)。(3)表示時(shí)間、距離、金額、重量、面積、體積、容積等度量的名詞短語(yǔ)做主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)。 例如：Two weeks was too long.兩周太長(zhǎng)了。 Ten dollars is a small sum.十美元是個(gè)小數(shù)目。 Five times five makes twenty five.五乘以五是二十五。 One and a half bananas is left on the table.一只半香蕉留在桌子上。 4)表示學(xué)科和某些疾病名稱的名詞是復(fù)數(shù)形式，作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式。 例如：Linguistics is a branch of study on human language.語(yǔ)言學(xué)是人類語(yǔ)言中的一個(gè)分枝。 (5)有些名詞形式是復(fù)數(shù)，意義為單數(shù)，作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，要求單數(shù)動(dòng)詞。 例如：The chaos was stopped by the police.混亂被警察阻止了。 The news is a great encouragement to us.這新聞對(duì)我們來(lái)說(shuō)是一個(gè)很大的鼓舞。 Her present whereabouts is still unknown.她目前的行蹤仍然不明。 (6)主語(yǔ)是單數(shù)時(shí)，盡管后面跟as well as (以及)，no less than (不少于，多 達(dá))，rather than(而不是)，more than(不止是，超過)，but(除了)，except(除外)，besides( 加之，還有)，with(和一起，和一塊兒)，along with(跟一起)，accompanied by ( 由陪同)，combined with(加上)，in addition to(除以外)，including(包括)，together with(與一起)等，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞仍用單數(shù)形式。 (7)某些不定代詞，如：either,neither,each,one,other,another,anybody,anyone, anything,somebody,someone,something,everybody,everyone,everything,nobody,no one,nothing 等，當(dāng)他們作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用單數(shù)形式。 例如：Each of the boys has an apple.每個(gè)孩子都有蘋果。 Somebody is using the phone.有人正在用電話。 Everything around us is matter.我們周圍一切都是物質(zhì)。 但是口語(yǔ)中當(dāng)either或neither后+of+復(fù)數(shù)名詞(或代詞)作定語(yǔ)時(shí)，其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞也可用復(fù)數(shù)。 例如：Is (Are)either of the boys ready?兩個(gè)男孩都準(zhǔn)備好了嗎?
