【文章內(nèi)容簡介】
A substantial portion of the reports is missing .這些報告都沒有提及實質(zhì)問題。 A kind of rose in the garden smells very 。 由some, several, both, few, many, a number of 等詞修飾主語、或是由它們自身作主語時應(yīng)看作 復(fù)數(shù),謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。另外,由and連接兩個主語時,謂語一般用復(fù)數(shù)。例如: On the seashore, some people are playing volleyball and some are lying in the sun. 海邊,有些人在打排球,有些人躺著曬太陽。 Both of us are fond of watching football games .我們倆都喜歡看足球賽。 A number of willbe graduates are voluntarily going to work in the West of China. 許多即將畢業(yè)的學(xué)生打算自愿去中國西部工作。 有些短語,如:a lot of, most of, any of, half of , three fifths of, eighty percent of, some of, none of, the rest of , all of等后接不可數(shù)名詞、或是單數(shù)形式的名詞作主語時應(yīng)看作單 數(shù),謂語動詞用單數(shù);但如果后接可數(shù)名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式作主語時應(yīng)看作復(fù)數(shù),謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。例如: A lot of money in the shop was stolen yesterday when the electricity was suddenly cut off. 昨天突然斷電時,那家商店丟失了許多錢。 A lot of books about Investment Fund have been published recently. 最近出版了許多關(guān)于投資基金的書籍。 意義一致( Notional Concord ) 這一原則是指,從意義著眼來解決主謂一致問題。有時主語形式上為單數(shù),但意義上卻是復(fù)數(shù),那么謂 語依意義也用復(fù)數(shù)形式;而有時主語形式上為復(fù)數(shù),但意義上卻是單數(shù),那么謂語依意義亦用單數(shù)形式 。 1) 當(dāng)主語后面接由as well as, as much as, acpanied by, including, in addition to, more than,no less than, rather than, together with等引導(dǎo)的詞組時,其謂語動詞的形式要依主語的單復(fù) 數(shù)而定。在這樣的句子里,這些詞所引導(dǎo)的詞組不影響主語自身的單、復(fù)數(shù)形式,它們在句子里其實是 狀語。也就是說,我們完全可以將這些詞組搬到句首或是放到句末去。從表面上我們也可以看出,它們 與主語之間有,隔開。例如: Petroleum, along with fuel gas, has recently risen in price.
