小编就GMAT语法中的主谓一致为大家做详细介绍,以加深考生记忆,希望大家顺利备考GMAT语法。
1、 主谓一致
(1) 主语和谓语
在英文中永远只有主谓搭配,同位语对谓语动词单复数没有影响
Students each have
Each of the students has
Five hundreds students, a group, each have
主语,同位语,谓语
(2) 倒装:
There be + A and B
Be 动词的单复数由A决定
介词短语/形容词短语 作表语放句首+系+主
强调:
It is A that /who谓语. (谓语的单复数由that/who前面的真正主语保持一致)
(3) 定语从句中的主谓一致:
-A of B that 谓语,that 从句中的谓语动词英语先行词的数保持一致。一般A为先行词,但有时B也可以作先行词(这需要逻辑上判断)。
-One of 复数名词 that 谓语,从句中的动词用复数形式。
-The only one (the first one of) of 复数名词 that 谓语,从句中的动词用单数形式,因为此时先行词是one。
-N1 谓语 N2, that
N1 谓语 N2, which
(that 修饰紧跟前面,which 不一定)
(逗号Which 不可以指代前面整个句子,但是可以指代前面句子里的任意一个名词,一般是离逗号最近的那个)
(4) 名词性从句和分词短语+单谓,但是若用上述相同的两个成分,谓语用复数。
(5) 如果原题主语谓语中间插进了很多定语状语,答案可能是把定语状语放到前面,让主语和谓语靠在一起,这样可以make the clause stronger
e.g. Tom, in his books, carefully coordinating with his narratives, capitalized…
In his books, which she carefully coordinated with her narratives, Tom capitalized…
(6) 有时候用and连接的两个名词是指同一个人和事,而且and后面的名词前又无冠词(如:my house and home),谓语应用单数;如果后面那个名词前面加了冠词,主语则变成了复数,谓语要用复数。如:my friend and the classmate Jane;如果and后面的名词前加了not,主语又是单数,谓语要用单数形式,如the farmer, and not the city dweller, is hurt when food price falls。
(7) “an amount(sum) of +不可数名词” 作主语,谓语单数;”quantity of +不可数名词” 作主语,谓语单数;而”large sums of/ quantities of +可数或不可数名词” 作主语,谓语复数;
(8) 可数对象只能用number或few或many修饰;不可数对象只能由amount,little或much修饰;a number of :大量的;the number of :…的数量;numbers of+可数名词的修饰必错。
(9) no 修饰名词作主语时,看名词的单复数;若名词为单数,谓语用单数;若名词为复数,谓语用复数。
(10) 在句子结构中注意数的一致,名词A+ be/动词(act as)…+名词B,应该保证A和B 在单复数上的一致。Some bat caves have residents that take on different duties such as defending……,acting as sentinels….(这里residents和sentinels一致)
(11) A 介/连 +谓
随后原则
Not only, but also
Not…but
Neither…nor…
Either…or
Nor
Or
随前原则
A of B + 谓语
所有其他不是随后原则的
A with B,
A as well as B,
be integral to A and B…
A, including B
A, together/along with B
A, no less than/more than B
A besides B
A except B
看of 后面的名词决定
Part/most/some/all/分数百分比/the rest of +n+谓语
复数动词
A and B, 无论A和B是可数还是不可数(A or B, 谓语动词就近原则,看B。)
例题:Downzoning, zoning that typically results in the reduction of housing density, allows for more open space in areas where little water or services exist.
A- little water or services exist
B- little water or services exists
C- few services and little water exists
D- there is little water or services available
E- there are few services and little available water
A total of +复数n
An average of
An average of 12 persons come…
单数动词
完整句子做主语
news
表整体性词组
A body/collection/array/series/set/portion/group of +复数n+单数v
例外A total of/an average of复数n+复数v
物质名词作主语,谓语动词用单数
Equipment, stone, citrus (柑橘), iron, milk, dioxin(OG 有复数dioxins)
学科名词作主语,谓语动词用单数,但以下两个作特殊含义时例外
Statistics (统计数据), Economics (经济政策) +复数
The average of
集体名词
administration, army, audience, class, crowd (一群,一伙), faculty (全体教员), orchestra, team, group.
l Majority/minority/plurality 作主语
---指整体动词+单数v
---指整体的每一个个体+复数vs
The majority of students in this class are hard workers.
The student majority is opposed to the death penalty. 单数名词+ majority
一些外来词的复数形式:
以-is结尾的词变复数改为-es:analysis—analyses,crisis—crises;
以-um结尾的词变复数改为-a:bacterium—bacteria,datum—data;
以-on结尾的词变复数改为-a:criterion—criteria;
以-us结尾的词变复数改为-i:nucleus—nuclei,stimulus—stimuli;
以-a结尾的词变复数改为-ae:lava—lavae;formula—formulae;
