第三讲 数词和主谓一致
一、主谓一致考点透析
谓语受主语支配,需在人称和数上与主语保持一致。处理主谓一致问题可依据三项原则:
1.语法一致:主语为单数形式,谓语用单数;主语是复数形式,谓语用复数。
名词、代词、不定式、动名词、从句等充当主语时,一般适用语法一致原则。例如:
(1)The boy is clever enough to learn mathmatics well.
(2) All the students are listening to their teacher attentively.
(3)Collecting stamps gives me pleasure and betters m y understanding of the world as well.
(4)What you do is different from what you say.
2.意义一致:有时要从意义着眼处理主谓一致问题。数学算式、集合名词、疑问代词、“the+形容词” 充当主语时,一般适用意义原则。例如:
(1)Five pound is quite enough for you to buy a radio or a walkman,something like that.
(2)His family was going to have a long journey,but on the day when they were supposed to set off,some family were ill,so they had to cancel the plan.
3.就近一致:谓语的人称和数与最近的主语保持一致。
当not only...but also...,or,either...or...,neither...nor...,not...but...,whether...or...等连词连接两个主语,以及在there be 句型、倒装句中,一般适用就近原则。例如:
