雅思考试中并没有很直接的考察语法,但是却在字里行间隐藏着对语法的考察。学会语法,就会发现自己组织语言、写作逻辑、阅读能力都在不知不觉中提升很多。希望这篇英语语法之主谓一致的用法分享可以让大家对定语从句更加了解。
2. 概念一致
5)what , who, which, any, more, some, half, most, all, none.等代词可以是单数,也可以是复数,主要靠意思决定。但指不可数名词时作单数看待。
例如:
Which is your book? Which are your books?
Here’s some more (coffee). Here’re some more (tomatoes).
None of the books are/is easy enough for us.
None of the coffee is good enough.
Most o f
the money was stolen. Most of
the members were there.
All of All of
Some of Some of
Half of Half of
None of None of
Two thirds of Two thirds of
由Many a或 more than one 所修饰的词做主语时,意义上虽然是复数,但谓语动词用单数形式。none 在代表不可数的东西时总是看作单数。如:
Many a person is for his plan.很多人赞成他的计划。
More than one people is against his plan.不止一个人反对他的计划。
None of this worries me.这事我一点也不着急。
6)表示时间、重量、长度、价值等的单位名词,尽管是复数形式,如果作整体看待,动词都用单数形式。如果看作组成该数量的一个一个的个体,则动词用复数。
例如:
Twenty miles is a long way to walk.走二十英里可是很长的一段路。
Where’s that five pounds? 那五英镑在哪儿?
Ten years is a long time. 十年很长。
Eight minutes is enough. 八分钟够了。
Twelve dollars is too dear. 十二美圆太贵了。
There are six silver dollars in each of the stocking. 每只袜子里有六个一美元的银币。
7) “the+形容词”表示一类人时,谓语动词用复数。表示抽象概念或指个别事物时谓语动词用单数。
例如:
The old are well taken care of. 老人得到很好的照顾。
The beautiful is loved by all. 人人都爱美,
The difficult we do at once. The impossible takes a little longer 困难的事情我们马上做。不可能的事情需要稍微长一点的时间。
还有the unknown(未知的事物),the unexpected(出乎意料的事),等等。
8)如果主语由“a kind/sort/无效 of, this kind/sort/无效 of +名词”组成,不管名词是单数还是复数,动词通常用单数。
例如:
This kind of man annoys me. =This kind of men annoys me.这种人让我烦。
This kind of apple is very expensive. = This kind of apples is……这种苹果很贵。
类似的还有:a portion of(一部分), a series of(一系列), a pile of(一堆), a panel of(一个小组委员会),如:
A series of accidents has happened here. 这里发生过一系列事故。
9)Means作“方法、手段”讲时,单复数同形,其前面有 each, every, neither, either,等单数概念的定语时,谓语动词用单数;若有all, both, these等复数概念的定语时谓语动词用复数。 “None of the means” 作主语时,谓语动词通常用单数。
例如:
There is/are no means of learning what is happening. 没法知道正在发生什么事。
No means is /are left untried. 没有没试过的方法了。
Every means is to an end. 每一种手段都能达到一种目的。
A bicycle is a means o f transport. 自行车是一种交通手段。
All possible means have/Every possible means has been tried.所有/每一种方法都了。
3、就近一致
1) 当主语由either……or, neither……nor, not only ……but(also) 或or连接时,谓语动词通常和最临近的那个主语一致。
例如:
Either you or he is to do the work.不是你就是他来做这件事。
Not only you but also Tom often comes late to class.不光是你,汤姆上课也迟到。
Neither the children nor the teacher knows anything about it.孩子们和老师都不知道这件事。
2)当there be结构后面有并列主语时,谓语也和最临近的那个一致。
例如:
There is a dictionary and many books on the table. 桌子上有一本词典和许多本书。
There’re ten chairs and a table in the house. 屋子里有十把椅子和一张桌子。
Here is a pen, a few envelopes and some paper for you. 这儿有一支笔,几个信封和一些纸给你。
这种就近一致的情况在非正式文体中越来越普遍。但在下列情况不提倡模仿。
例如:
Where is your mother and sisters? 你妈妈和你姐妹到哪儿去了?
Is your sister and her husband coming to see you? 你姐姐和姐夫要来看你吗?
One in ten are expected t take part in the contest.预计每十个人就有一个要来参加这次比赛。
3) 做主语的名词或代词后接with, together with, along with, as well as 等短语时,谓语动词一般和前面名词或代词一致。这些短语前后可用可不用逗号。例如:
A woman with a baby is coming to the hospital. 一个妇女抱着个婴儿正向医院走来。
The girl, as well as the boys , has learned to drive a car. 这个姑娘和那些那孩子一样也学会了开汽车。
