主谓一致6061399804.docVIP

主谓一致 一、就近原则 由or, either…or, neither…or, not… but…, not only…but also等连接的并列成分作主语时，其谓语通常要与靠近的主语保持一致。如：He or I am in the wrong Neither you nor he is tired. 二、就远原则 当用作主语的成分后面跟有由but, except, besides, including, like, with, as well as, asmuch as, no less than, along with, in addition to, combined with, rather than, together with等引出的短语时，谓语动词习惯上要与这些结构前面的主语保持一致（即与比较远的那个主语保持一致，简称“就远原则”）。如：Everybody except you is down on me. A woman with two children has come. 度量衡等名词作主语时谓语用单数还是复数 表示时间、距离、度量、重量、金额等的复数名词作主语，被看作整体时，谓语动词用单数。如：Twenty years is a long time. Ten years is a moment in history. 但若与pass, go by等连用，指时间的流逝，或者与spend, waste, pay等连用，指时间或金钱的花费或支付等，谓语动词可以用复数。比较：Twenty years is a long time.（谓语用单数，强调整体） Twenty years have passed since they got married.（用复数谓语，给人一种一一年来算的感觉） majority作主语时的主谓一致问题 the majority表示“大多数”时，为集合名词；单独用作主语时，如果强调整体，谓语动词用单数形式；如果强调个体，谓语动词用复数形式。如：The majority agree [agrees] with me. The majority was [were] in favour of the proposal. 但是若单独用的 the majority后跟有复数表语，则谓语通常要用复数。如：The majority are young people. 2. “the majority of+复数名词”用作主语时，谓语动词通常用复数，但偶尔也可用单数。如：The majority of his books are kept upstairs. The majority of people realize the importance of limiting population growth. 3. “the majority of+集合名词”用作主语时，谓语动词可用单数（视为整体）或复数（考虑其个体）。如：The vast majority of the population lives [live] in utter misery. 4. “the majority of+不可数名词”用作主语时，谓语动词总是用单数。如：The majority of the work?has been finished. The majority of the damage is easy to repair. 5. “a majority of+复数名词”用作主语时，谓语动词通常用复数。如：A majority of visitors have arrived. A clear majority of voters were in favour of the motion.we each等作主语谓语用单数还是复数 we each等作主语时，谓语动词应用复数，因为当we each作主语时，真正的主语是we，其后的each是修饰we的同位语。如：We each have a map. 类似地，当they each, the children each, the teachers each等用作主语时，谓语动词也应用复数，而非单数。如：They each have their own share. 六、more than one作主语谓语动词用单数还是复数 more than one用作主语时，要注意以下两个结构： 1、“more than one+单数名词”用作主语，其谓语通常用单数(即从形式考虑) 2、“more+复数名词+than one”用作主语，其谓语通常要用复数 也就是说，以上结构中名词的数决定其后动词的数。 如：不只一个学生受到惩罚。 正：More
