名词做主语时的主谓一致原则
主谓一致要点归纳
英语中,句子的谓语动词要与句子的主语在人称和数上保持一致,即主谓一致。一般来说,主谓一致要遵循三个原则:语法一致原则,意义一致原则和就近原则。语法一致原则就是指谓语动词的单复数形式由主语的单复数形式决定;意义一致原则是指谓语动词的单复数形式由主语的意义而不是形式决定,即使主语的形式是复数但意义上是单数的话,谓语动词也要用单数形式;就近原则是指谓语动词的形式由靠近它的名词的数决定。
一、以 s 结尾的名词作主语时的主谓一致
1. 如果以 s 结尾的名词表示的是学科或国家时,句子的谓语动词要用单数形式。如:
Physics is such a difficult subject that I can’t understand it .
The United Nations is made up of more than one hundred countries .
2. 有些以 s 结尾的名词表示两个对称部分组成的事物,如 trousers,shoes,glasses,scissors
等,它们单独作主语时谓语动词要用复数,但如果前面有 a / this pair / sort / kind of
等修饰时,则谓语动词要用单数形式。如:
My shoes are the gifts from my grand - mother .
This kind of shoes is very popular this summer .
3. 有些以 s 结尾的名词如 goods (货物),arms (武器),clothes (衣服),thanks
(感谢)等只作复数用,作主语时谓语动词要用复数形式。如:
All the goods were shipped from America .
All the arms you want have been prepared .
4. 一些单复数形式相同的以 s 结尾的名词如 means (方法),works (工厂),headquarters
(总部)等作主语时,如果强调单数意义,则谓语动词用单数形式;如果强调复数意义,则谓语用复数形式。
如:
All the means have been tried to save the patient .
The quickest means of travel is by plane .
二、集体名词作主语时的主谓一致
1. 只能作不可数名词的集体名词如 furniture (家具),machinery (机器),equipment
(设备)等作主语时,谓语动词要用单数形式。如:
The advanced equipment has been offered to the factory .
All the furniture in my home is made in Hong Kong .
2. 只能用作复数的集体名词如 people,police,cattle (牲畜)等作主语时,谓语动词要用复数形式。如:
The working people are brave and great .
The police were searching the area for two thieves .
3. 还有一些既可以用作复数又可以用作单数的集体名词,如
team,class,family,club,government,public
等作主语时,如果强调整体,则谓语动词用单数形式;如果强调个体成员,则谓语动词要用复数形式。如:
My family is a happy one .
All my family are fond of taking exercise .
三、由 and 连接的两个名词作主语时的主谓一致
1. and 连接的两个名词若表示不同的概念,则谓语动词用复数形式,若表示同一事物或一个整体,则谓语动词用单数形式。如:
The writer and the singer are going to pay a visit to our school .
The writer and singer is going to pay a visit to our school .
War and peace is always the topic for the people all over the
world .
2. 如果 and 连接的两个名词前有 each,every,no 等词修饰时,谓语动词要用单数形式。如:
Each girl and each boy has a chance to ask a question .
No parent and child was late for the sports meeting .
四、数量词作主语时的主谓一致
1. 表示具体数量的名词词组作主语强调整体时,谓语动词用单数形式,如果强调个体则谓语动词用复数形式。如:
Twenty dollars is not enough to buy this book .
There are twenty dollars on the desk .
2. “分数 / 百分数 +of + 名词”作主语时,谓语动词的单复数形式由名词的单复数形式决定。如:
Two thirds of the students in this school have been admitted to
universities .
Two thirds of the water has been polluted in this river .
3. “ all / some / most / none of + 名词”作主语时,谓语动词的单复数由名词的单复数形式决定,但“
none of+ 名词复数”作主语时,谓语动词可以用单数形式也可以用复数形式。如:
All the leaders were present at the meeting .
None of your answers is / are right .
4. “ many a / more than one + 单数名词”作主语时谓语动词用单数形式。如:
Many a student has passed this difficult exam .
5. “ a number of + 名词复数”作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式,而“ the number of +
名词”作主语时谓语用单数。如:

The number of the students in this school has been increasing
these years .
6. “ a / this kind / type / sort 等 + of +
名词”作主语时,谓语动词要用单数形式,但“复数名词 +of +a / this kind / type / sort
”等作主语时谓语动词要用复数形式。如:
This kind of men is dangerous .
Men of this kind are dangerous .
主谓一致( Subject-Verb Concord )主谓一致的问题看上去似乎很简单,其实使用起来却不是那么容易,有时候甚至很复杂.这是因为在不同情况下,处理这一问题所依据的原则各不相同.就其在现代语法中的基本原则而言,通常有三个不同角度的着眼点:1,语法一致 2,意义一致 3,就近原则. 主谓一致的原则是指,主语和谓语从语法形式上取得一致: 主语是单数形式,谓语也采取单数形式;主语是复数形式,谓语必须采取复数形式. 例如:A grammar book helps you learn something about the rules of a language.(主语是单数形式,谓语也采取单数形式)语法书帮助你学习语言的某些规则.Grammar books help you learn something about the rules of a language.(主语是复数形式,谓语也采取复数形式)语法书帮助你学习语言的某些规则.主语和谓语从语法形式上取得一致的问题远不只上述的那么简单,有许多方面的情况需要去具体地对待: 不定式,动名词,以及从句作主语时应看作单数,谓语动词用单数. 例如:Reading often means learning .读书常意味是学习.To read English aloud every morning does you a lot of good.每天早晨朗读英语有许多好处.What he said has been recorded .他说的话已被录音了. 不定代词及each作主语或是修饰主语时应看作单数,谓语动词用单数. 例如:Neither of my sisters likes sports .我的妹妹中没人喜欢运动.Many a student takes a walk on campus after dinner.许多学生晚饭后常在校园里散步.Every boy and girl shows great interest in extra-curriculum activities .每个男孩和女孩对课外活动都表现出很大的兴趣. 表示国家,机构,事件,作品等名称的专有名词作主语时应看作单数,谓语动词用单数. 例如:One Thousand And One Nights tells people lots of mysterious bits of folklore .《一千零一夜》给人们讲了许多神秘的民间传说.The United States is leading the world in science and technology .美国常在世界科技方面领先.The United Nations plays an important role in the international affairs .联合国在国际事务中起着重要作用. a series of,a kind of,the number of等与名词构成名词短语作主语时看作单数,谓语动词用单数. 例如:A series of high technology products has been laid out in the exhibition. 一系列高科技产品已在展览上展出.The number of printing mistakes in some recent books often surprises people even to death.目前一些书籍里印刷错误的数量让人吃惊得要命.A substantial portion of the reports is missing .这些报告都没有提及实质问题.A kind of rose in the garden smells very pleasant.这座花园里有一种玫瑰香气怡人. 由some,several,both,few,many,a number of 等词修饰主语,或是由它们自身作主语时应看作复数,谓语动词用复数. 例如:Both of us are fond of watching football games .我们俩都喜欢看足球赛.A number of will-be graduates are voluntarily going to work in the West of China. 许多即将毕业的学生打算自愿去中国西部工作. 由and连接两个主语时,如指同一人或物,谓语用单数;指不同的人或物,谓语用复数. On the seashore,some people are playing volleyball and some are lying in the sun. 海边,有些人在打排球,有些人躺着晒太阳. 有些短语,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等后接不可数名词,或是单数形式的名词作主语时应看作单数,谓语动词用单数;但如果后接可数名词的复数形式作主语时应看作复数,谓语动词用复数. 例如:A lot of money in the shop was stolen yesterday when the electricity was suddenly cut off. 昨天突然断电时,那家商店丢失了许多钱.A lot of books about Investment Fund have been published recently.去年出版了许多关于投资基金的书籍. 主语为单数个不定式(短语)、动名词(短语)或从句时,谓语动词一般用单数。 主语为单三,或习惯用作单数名词或不可数名词的词,如:money,information,clothing等,谓语动词用单数。 ( Notional Concord )这一原则是指,从意义着眼来解决主谓一致问题.有时主语形式上为单数,但意义上却是复数,那么谓语依意义也用复数形式;而有时主语形式上为复数,但意义上却是单数,那么谓语依意义亦用单数形式.1) 当主语后面接由as well as,as much as,accompanied by,including,in addition to,more than,no less than,rather than,together with等引导的词组时,其谓语动词的形式要依主语的单复数而定.在这样的句子里,这些词所引导的词组不影响主语自身的单,复数形式,它们在句子里其实是状语.也就是说,我们完全可以将这些词组搬到句首或是放到句末去.从表面上我们也可以看出,它们与主语之间有,隔开.例如:Petroleum,along with fuel gas,has recently risen in price.目前石油和燃料煤气的价格上涨了.The teacher,with all his students,is going to have a picnic this weekend.老师打算这个周末与学生们一起去野炊.The students,together with their teacher,are going to have a picnic this weekend.学生们打算这个周末与他们的老师一起去野炊.The warehouse,with all its stockings,was burned last night.昨晚,那个仓库连同其所有的货物一起被烧毁了.我们完全可以将上面句子中的那些词组都分别搬到句首或是放到句末去,因为它们在句子里是状语:Petroleum has recently risen in price,along with fuel gas.Along with fuel gas,petroleum has recently risen in price.The students are going to have a picnic this weekend together with their teacher.As well as the suitcase,the missing things have been found and returned to the owner.The missing things have been found and returned to the owner,as well as the suitcase.2) 表示时间,金钱,距离,体积,重量,面积,数字等词语作主语时,其意义若是指总量应看作单数,谓语动词用单数;但如果其意义是指有多少数量则应该看作是复数,那么谓语动词也应该用复数.例如:Four weeks are often approximately regarded as one month.人们常大约地将四个星期看成一个月.Twenty years stands for a long period in one's life.二十年在人的一生里意味着一个很长的时期.Eighty dollars are enough for a student to spend on food for one week.八十块钱给一个学生吃一个星期的伙食是足够的了.3) 形容词前加定冠词即the + 形容词作主语时,其意义若是指个人或是抽象概念应看作单数,谓语动词用单数;但如果其意义是指一类人则应该看作是复数,那么谓语动词也应该用复数.例如:The young,on the one hand,often think of the old conservative. On the other hand,the old always consider the young inexperience.一方面,青年人常认为老年人保守;另一方面,老年人总是认为青年人没有经验.In many stories,the good are well rewarded and the bad are doomed to unfortunate. 在许多故事里,好人总是有好报;坏人注定要倒霉.4)当and连接两个并列主语在意义上指同一人,同一物,同一事或者同一概念时,应看作单数,谓语动词用单数.另外,当and 连接两个形容词去修饰一个单数形式的主语时,其实是指两种不同的事物,主语则应该看作是复数,那么谓语动词也应该用复数.例如:War and peace is a constant theme in history. 战争与和平是一个历史上的永恒的主题.Chinese and Japanese silk are good quality.中国丝绸和日本丝绸质量都很好.Different people respectively welcome White and black coffee.加奶的咖啡与清咖啡都分别受到不同人们的喜爱.5) 集体名词作主语时,谓语动词的数取决于主语的意义:主语表示整体时视为单数,谓语动词用单数;主语表示集体中的个体成员时视为复数,谓语动词用复数.这类集体名词常见的有:army,audience,cattle,class,club,committee,crowd,family,government,group,majority,minority,part,people,police,public,staff,team等等,其中cattle,people,police一般看成复数形式.例如:The family are all fond of football. 那一家人都喜欢足球.The family is the tiniest cell of the society. 家庭是社会的最小的细胞.The public has every reason to be cautious of professional deception.人民大众完全有理由谨防职业骗局.The public now come to know the whole story.人们目前现在越来越清楚那是怎么回事了. ( Principle of Proximity )这一原则是指,谓语动词的人称和数常常与最近作主语的词语保持一致.常出现在这类句子中的连词有:or,either… or …,neither… nor …,not only… but also …等.例如:Either I or they are responsible for the result of the matter.不是我,就是他们要对那件事的结局负责任.Neither the unkind words nor the unfriendly attitude has caused me any distress.既不是那些不友好的话,也不是那不友好的态度让我沮丧.Not only he but also all his family are keen on concerts.不仅仅是他,而且是他全家人都很热衷于音乐会.Neither his family nor he knows anything about it.他全家人和他都不知道那件事.英语中,主语的单复数形式决定着谓语动词的单复数形式. 主谓一致必须遵循以下三条原则:语法一致原则,意义一致原则,就近一致原则.根据这三条原则,现从以下几个方面进行总结:一,并列结构作主语时的主谓一致1.由and 连接的两个单数名词作主语时,谓语动词一般根据语法一致的原则用复数.如:A young man and a girl want to go there.一个青年男子和一个姑娘想去那里.但如果在意义上指同一个人,同一件事或同一个概念时,谓语动词要用单数形式.如:A needle and thread was found on the floor.在地板上找到了针线(穿了线的针).2. 当each ...and each...,every...and every...,no...and no...,many a...and many a...结构作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式.如:①No man and no animal is to be found on the moon.在月球上没发现人和动物.②Many a doctor and many a nurse is busy with theirwork.许多医生和护士都忙于他们的工作.3.一个单数名词同时被两个不同的形容词修饰,表示两个不同的概念时,谓语动词一般用复数.如:Ancient and modern history are the subjects weare studying.古代史和现代史是我们目前学习的课程.但如果表示的是同一概念时应用单数.如:The last and most difficult lesson is lesson14.14课是最后一课也是最难的一课.4. 由not only... but also ...,either...or ...,neither... nor...,... or...连接的并列主语,谓语动词通常依就近一致原则决定.如:Either the players or the coach is responsiblefor the defeat.不是运动员就是教练应该对这次比赛的失利负责.5. 当主语由as well as,along with,together with,ratherthan,no less than,but,except,besides,in additionto,like,including等词连接时,其谓语动词的单复数形式通常由前面的词来决定.如:①An iron and steal works,with some satellitefactories. is to be built here.在这里将建立一个钢铁厂和一些卫星厂.②Tom,along with his friends,goes skating everySaturday.每个星期六,汤姆和他的朋友们一起去滑冰.二,百分数,分数作主语时的主谓一致当百分数,分数后面加名词或代词时,要根据这个名词或代词来决定其谓语动词的单复数形式.如果是复数名词或代词,谓语动词用复数;如果是单数名词(或不可数名词)或代词,谓语动词用单数.如:①Fifty percent of the students in our school aregirls.我们学校百分之五十的学生是女生.②Three-fourths of the surface of the earth is sea.地球表面的四分之三是海洋.三,不定代词作主语时的主谓一致1. 不定代词each,another,the other,either,neither和由some,any,no,every+one或thing构成的复合代词作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式.如:①Neither of us has gone through regular training.我们两个都没经过正规训练.②Nobody wants to go there,does he?没有人想去那里,是吧③Something has been done to end the strike.已经采取措施制止罢工了.2. none 作主语时,谓语动词既可用单数也可用复数,这要取决于说话人的看法.如:①None of us seem to have thought of it.似乎我们全都没有想到这一点.②None of us has got a camera.

名词做主语时的主谓一致原则
主谓一致的情况一共有24种 楼上总结了十八种 可以参考。
名词作主语时 主谓一致的原则是 在群体名词中 如果指整体就用单数 如果指个体成员就用复数。
一般情况下的用法
1.群体名词 people, police ,cattle,等作主语时 谓语动词用复数 如:
the police have caught the thief.

主语谓语宾语介绍
1、主语 主语是句子中的陈述对象,与英语语法也有相似之处。常常由名词、 代词、或名词性短语充当。形容词、动词、 谓语性短语和主谓短语也可充当主语。句子成分划分时,主语符号为双横线。例句:一米等于一百厘米。 (一米,数词做主语)2、谓语 谓语概念在语文语法中作用是表明主语怎么样、有什么性质...
英语语法里主谓一致的问题
