第十三讲 模块三语法专练：主谓一致

1、第 十三 讲模块三 语法专练:主谓一致【考点透视】在近年高考英语试题中,单项填空部分直接涉及到主谓一致的内容不是十分频繁, 但是这并不是说主谓一致不重要,一方面在试题的其他方面有一定程度的体现,另一方面 说明在今后的单选命题中考查主谓一致的几率更高。有关主谓一致的考点主要分布在:语 法结构对主谓一致的影响;充当主语的词汇意义对主谓一致的影响;复合句中的主谓一致 等。主谓一致指的是谓语动词与主语在人称和数方面的一致。主谓一致有三项原则,即:语法一致、意义一致和就近一致原则是在特殊情况下对语法一致的补充。这里就一些情况 作如下说明:(一当名词词组中心词为表示度量、距离、金额、时间、书名等复数名词时

2、,谓语常用 单数。如:Five minutes is enough to do this exercise.(二不定代词 each , every , no 所修饰的名词即使以 and 或逗号连接成多主语时,谓语 动词仍用单数。如:Each boy and each girl wants to serve the people in future.(三不定式、动名词作主语时谓语动词用单数。(四从句作主语时:1. what 引导的主语从句,谓语动词视情况而定。What we need is more time. / What we need are more teachers.2.在“ one

3、of + 复数名词 + who / that”引导的从句中的动词用复数,但当 one 之前 有 the only等修饰语时,从句中的动词则用单数。如:This is one of the girls who were late for the meeting.This is the only one of the girls who was late for the meeting.(五以 and 连接的两个名词作主语时谓语动词通常用复数。如:Walking and riding are good exercises.但在以下几种情况中用单数:1.当被修饰的两个单数名词在意义上指的是同一个人、

4、物或概念时。如:The girl s teacher and friend is a young doctor.2.当被连接的两个单数名词表示的是一副用具时。A knife and fork is on the table.(六有些以 -s 结尾的名词作主语时,根据其意思来决定谓语动词的单复数:1.表示学科名称的名词单数;2.国家或团体名称单数;3. the Olympic Games复数;4.当复数同形的名词,如:means , works 等。Every means has been tried. / All means have been tried.(七集体名词作主语时,视其意义来决定

5、谓语动词的单复数:1. police , people 等名词复数;2. clothing , equipment , furniture 等名词单数;3. family , class , public , population 等名词表示个体时单数;表示单位成员时复 数;(八 all , most , half , the rest 等不定代词作主语时,视其所代的名词或意思来决定谓语 动词的单复数。(九 a lot of/ lots of, a large quantity of等量词 + 名词作主语时,谓语动词的单复数由这 些量词后的名词决定。如:但 large quantities o

6、f修饰可数或不可数名词作主语时,谓语动词用复数。如:(十 a kind of/kinds of作主语时,谓语动词的单复数由 kind 决定, type 也是这样。如:(十一分数或百分数 + 名词作主语时,谓语动词的单复数由分数或百分数后的名词决 定。(十二 more than one ., many a .作主语时,谓语动词用单数。如:(十三 or , either . or ., neither . nor ., not only . but (also .等连接并列主语时,谓 语动词与就近的主语一致。(十四主语后面跟有 like , as well as / with/ along wit

7、h/ together with, except/ but / rather than , including/ besides/ in addition to等词组时,谓语根据主语而定。如:【题例精析】【例 1】 Mike, what did our monitor say just now? Every boy and every girl as well as teachers who _ to visit the museum _ asked to be at the school gate before 6:30 in the morning. (2007南京一中卷 A. is; i

8、s B. are; areC. is; are D. are; is【易错点悟】 解答该题的关键是要理解题干结构, 把握以 every, no, each 等限定的并由 and 连接的两个并列名词用作主语时的主谓一致以及定语从句中的主谓一致。【要点精析】 该题为一个带有定语从句的复合句, 句中作定语的关系代词 who 指代先行词 teachers ,为复数,故谓语动词该用 are ; as well as 连接两个主语时,谓语动词要根 据前一个主语决定;由 every, no, each 等限定的并由 and 连接的两个并列名词作主 语时,谓语动词要用单数形式。【答案】 D【例 2】 What

9、 the remote areas need _ education to children and what the children need _ good textbooks at the moment. (2007山东枣庄 3月交流卷A. is; are B. are; isC. was; were D. were; was【易错点悟】解答该题关键是要注意由特殊疑问词 what 引导的主语从句作主语时的主谓 一致关系。【要点精析】一般情况下, what 引导主语从句,常表示单数意义,谓语动词用单数形式, 但当它所指的具体内容是复数意义时,谓语动词要用复数形式。该题强调现在,用 一般现在
