主谓一致之逻辑意义一致原则(六) 今天,Master Osifu English继续为大家讲解主谓一致。这一讲是主谓一致的逻辑意义一致原则的最后一讲,记住这些细节的东西,学会英文将一切无碍。Master Osifu English会尽心尽力帮助大家。
9.aircraft, deer, fish, means, series, sheep, works, species等作主语时,根据意义决定单复数。 例如:The sheep is big. The sheep are eating the grass.
10.population作主语时,若作为一个整体,谓语动词用单数;当涉及到人口组成时,用复数形式。 例如:The population of China is larger than that of Japan. One third of the population here are workers.
11.a(large)quantity of 修饰可数名词或不可数名词,其短语作主语时,谓语动词依照of后面名词的单复数而定。 例如:A large quantity of people is needed here. A large quantity of blouses were on sale.
注意:quantities一般用复数形式。 如,Quantities of food(nuts) were on the table. 短语如in quantities, in large quantities意为‘大量’;in small quantities意为‘少量’。
12.a 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。 例如:A great deal of(A large amount of) damage was done in a very short time. Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge.
下面大家练习几个习题,进一步熟悉以上知识点。 1.Large quantities of water_____for irrigation. A.is needed B.has needed C.are needed D.need 解析:答案C. 此题考查的是短语quantities of+名词作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式,故选C.
2.The population of the city ___ increasing fast. A.is B.were C.be D.are 解析:答案A. 此题考查的是population作主语时,为一个整体,所以谓语动词用单数,故选A.
