英文举例中文说明 1并列结构作主语时谓语用复数 Reading and writing areveryimportant. 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,共用一个冠词用单数,表示 The iron andsteelindustry is very important to our life. 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. 2 主谓一致中的就近原则 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. There is apen,a knife and severalbooks on the desk.. There are twenty boy-students and twenty-three girl-students in the class. 总的来说,在由not only…but also…,not just…but…,or,either…or…,neither…nor…连接主语的句子中及在there be句型中,谓语动词的单复数按就近原则处理,即按与谓语动词最靠近的那个主语来确定谓语动词的单复数形式。如: Not only John but also I am going to Shanghai next week. Either you or she is to go. There is a pen,a few envelops and some paper for you. 3 谓语动词与前面的主语一致 当主语后面跟有with,together with,like,except,but,nolessthan,aswellas 等词引起的短语时,谓语动词与前面的主语一致.

All are present. (所有人都到齐了.) 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,team,group,club,public,audience,crew,crowd,class,company,committee等词后用复数形式时,意为这个集体中的各个成员,用单数时表示该个集体.

Most of the students are taking an active part in sports. 2) 在一些短语,如 many a 或 more than one 所修饰的词作主语时,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. Many a person hasreadthe novel. 许多人都读过这本书.
