【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 the poor.c. Two tons is enough.d. The difference between America and England is, the English think 100 miles is a long distance and Americans think 100 years is a long time.值得注意的是,若“數(shù)詞”單用，表示人或物，謂語動詞一般用復數(shù)。a. Ten were killed and five were missing and several were severely wounded in that accident.b. Few know the fact. 4)復數(shù)的專有名詞后面都接復數(shù)謂語動詞：a. The Great Lakes are a series of five lakes between the USA and Canada.不過特殊的有：the United Nations, the United States均看作一個整體，故用單數(shù)謂語動詞。7．并列主語與謂語動詞形式的關(guān)系 1）由and連接的多個成分，若表示一種事物或一種概念時，用單數(shù)動詞；若表示的是多個不同的概念時，則用復數(shù)動詞。a. The writer and translator is delivering a speech in our college tonight. (writer和translator是指同一個人)b. The writer and the translator are delivering a speech in our college tonight.(此處指連個人)c. The tenth and last lesson is translated by him.（同一課）d. The tenth and the last lesson are translated by him.(兩個不同的課)2）若and連接兩個并列主語，且and后面的名詞有相關(guān)的副詞（not, perhaps, particularly, even, too, likewise, as well等）修飾，則謂語動詞形式與and前面的名詞保持一致。因為此時句子的真正主語應是and前面的名詞，此時and 與前面的名詞之間常有逗號隔開。a. The horse and not the donkey is used in games of racing.b. Tom, and not Jim, has gone there.c. That the sun and not the earth is the center of our planetary system was a difficult concept to grasp in the Middle Ages.d. Jack, and perhaps Williams, has been there.e. Jack, and particularly his parents, is fond of this music.3) 兩個表示不同物質(zhì)的名詞，雖由and連接，但習慣上此兩樣東西常常被同時使用，這時我們將二者看作是一整體，故謂語動詞仍用單數(shù)。常見的這樣的名詞有：a. Bread and butter is my favorite breakfast.b. Apple pie and ice cream is the favorite dessert of many people.c. The fork and knife is hard for me to use4) or連接的并列主語，動詞形式與or最靠近的主語保持一致。a. He or I am to go.b. Her sisters or his brother has a hobby of collecting stamps.5) every…and(every)…each…, and(each)…, any…and(any)…, no…and(no)…, many a…and(many a)…連接的并列主語，用單數(shù)謂語動詞。a. Every hour and every minute is important.b. Every man, woman and child is an important being.c. Every boy and girl has to have his hair neatly bedd. Many a man and (many a) woman has wished he or she had had a better education.6) either…or…, not only…but also…, neither….nor…, 謂語動詞單復數(shù)與or, but(also), nor后面的詞一致。a. Not only the students but also their teacher is required to attend the meeting.b. Not only their teacher but also the students are required to attend the meeting.7) 與第六點形成對照的是，“主語+with, together with, along with, as well as, as much as, including, in addition to, added to, except, besides, rather than, acpanied by+另一主語”的結(jié)構(gòu)中，謂語動詞形式與第一個主語保持人稱和數(shù)的一致。a. Mary, along with her sisters, attends the sessions regularly.b. The students as well as the teacher are required to attend the meeting.c. I, as well as they, am ready to help you.8. 在of 結(jié)構(gòu)中謂語動詞的單復數(shù) 這類情況較為復雜，且不總是那么具有規(guī)律性?；究蓺w納如下： 1）像kind, type, sort, class, species, breed, variety, form, brand, make等表示類別的名詞，總的規(guī)律是：句子謂語動詞單復數(shù)與of前面的名詞形式保持一致。a. What kind of rice is served in that restaurant?b. This kind of apple is sour.c. The kind of apples is sour.d. Apples of this kind are sour.e. What kinds of rice are served in that restaurant?2) A pair of +復數(shù)名詞，看作整體，用單數(shù)謂語動詞。a. A pair of gloves/glassed is on the table.但是：b. Five pairs of gloves are on sale.3)the+最高級+of++單數(shù)謂語… The most elaborate of all bird nests is the large, doomed munal structure built by social weaverbirds.4) A number of/An average of/A total of +名詞復數(shù)，用復數(shù)動詞，強調(diào)數(shù)量 the number/average/total of+名詞復數(shù),用單數(shù)動詞,強調(diào)整體.a. A total of ten thousand dollars were donated last month.b. An average of ten thousand dollars a day are sent by this post office.c. The total of dollars donated last month was 100,000 dollars.d. The total of 10 thousand dollars donated last month was sent to the floodstricken areas.5) A part of +單數(shù)名詞單數(shù)謂語 復數(shù)名詞復數(shù)謂語 與此類似的還有:the rest/remainder of, most of, plenty of, 分數(shù)(如twothirds)+of, 百分數(shù)+of等等。它們的謂語動詞數(shù)依of后名詞而定，名詞是單數(shù)，則謂語動詞為復數(shù)；名詞若是復數(shù)，謂語動詞亦為復數(shù)。a. A part of the apple is bad.b. A part of the apples are bad.c. Threefourths of the surface of the earth is covered with water.d. A third of their position has been corrected.e. A third of their positions have been corrected.f. Threefourth of the people are illiterate. （名詞從句，動名詞短語或動詞不定式短語作主語，用單數(shù)謂語動詞）1）主語從句或短語作主語，主句謂語用單數(shù)。a. Children interfering in their parents’ right to remarry has bee a social problem.b. When I can plete it is still unclear.c. What I said and did is of no concern to you.2)定語從句中的主謂一致 請認真比較下列例句a. One of those men likes to drive fast.b. He is the only one of those men who likes to drive fast.c. He is one of those men who like to drive fast.d. He is one of the only men who like to drive fast.e. One of those men who like to drive fast is her son.歷年真題：1.
