第二章 主謂一致
句子的謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞和句子的主語(yǔ)應在數方面保持一致。主謂一致的基本原則是：主語(yǔ)是單數，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數形式；主語(yǔ)是復數，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復數形式。句子的主語(yǔ)有以下幾種類(lèi)型：
1．帶后置定語(yǔ)型。其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的形式依主語(yǔ)的單復數而定，與后置定語(yǔ)無(wú)關(guān)。
（together）with …
except / but …
S + besides … V
rather than …
as well as …
A library together with a lot of books has been given to our school as a gift.
Two pilots as well as all the passengers were killed in this plane crash.
兩個(gè)飛行員連同所有旅客都死于這次空難。
2．部分-整體型。其謂語(yǔ)的單復數，由整體部分決定。
70 percent
two-thirds
part of the / one’s + n +V
half （整體）
all
the rest
1）About 70% of the surface of the earth is covered by water.
2）Part of the books are worth reading, but the rest（of them）are of no value.
※注：all單獨作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，All指人謂語(yǔ)用復數。All指物或事情謂語(yǔ)用單數。
1）All are eager to reach an agreement. 所有的人都急于達成協(xié)議。
2）All is going well. 一切都進(jìn)展順利。
3．定語(yǔ)僅能修飾單數名詞型，其謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數。
Each / Every
Either / Neither
Another + n（單數）+ V
Many a
More than one
More than one graduate wants to go to work in Western China.
不止一個(gè)畢業(yè)生要求去中國西部工作。
Many a day has passed since the boy was lost. 那個(gè)男孩失蹤已有許多天。
4．就近一致型。下列連詞連接兩個(gè)主語(yǔ)時(shí)，及there be句型有多個(gè)并列主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)應與最靠近的主語(yǔ)保持一致。
A or B 1）Either you or I am to meet them at the station.
Either A or B 不是你就是我要去車(chē)站接他們。
Neither A nor B 2）Not only the teacher but also his students object to the plan.
Not only A but also B 3）There is an air-conditioner and two computers in his office.
There be A, B and C 在他辦公室有一臺空調和二臺電腦。
5．需記住的其他規則
Either
1）Neither of + n 作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)用單數。
Each
None of + n（復數）作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)用單數或復數均可。
None of + n（單數）作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)用單數。
Either of the answers is right. 兩個(gè)答案中有一個(gè)是對的。
None of the cars was / were damaged. 這些車(chē)都沒(méi)有受損。
None of the food has gone bad. 食物沒(méi)有變質(zhì)。
2）a number of + n（復數）作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)用復數。
the number of + n（復數）作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)用單數。
A large number of students are from the south. 很多學(xué)生是南方人。
The number of students in our school has gone up to 3000.
我校學(xué)生數已上升到3000人。
3）關(guān)系代詞作主語(yǔ)，定語(yǔ)從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的形式取決于其先行詞的單復數。
He is one of the few persons who have a good knowledge of Italian.
他是精通意大利語(yǔ)的少數人之一。
在以上句子中，persons是who的先行詞，從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復數。
（比較）He is the only one of the boys who was given a prize.
他是這些孩子中唯一受到獎勵的。
當one之前有the only修飾時(shí)，one是who的先行詞，從句謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數。
4）單個(gè)動(dòng)名詞，不定式或主語(yǔ)從句作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數。
兩個(gè)并列的動(dòng)名詞，不定式或主語(yǔ)從句作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復數。
When and where to hold the meeting isn’t decided yet.（一個(gè)不定式作主語(yǔ)）
What I say and what I think are none of your business.
我說(shuō)什么，想什么與你無(wú)關(guān)。（兩個(gè)并列主語(yǔ)從句作主語(yǔ)）
5）each, any, every, no構成的復合代詞都當作單數看待。
Someone is asking you on the phone. 有人在打電話(huà)找你。
注：復合代詞作主語(yǔ)，反意疑問(wèn)句的主語(yǔ)通常用they，也可用he。
Everyone was present at the meeting, weren’t they / wasn’t he ?
Someone has known the news, haven’t they / hasn’t he ?
6）以“s”結尾的書(shū)刊名、國名、機構名和學(xué)科名作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)用單數。
The United Nations was set up in 1942. 聯(lián)合國建于1942年。
The Canterbury Tales was written by Chaucer. 《坎特伯雷故事集》是喬叟寫(xiě)的。

病人得到醫治，失蹤的也已找回來(lái)了。
8）由and連接兩個(gè)單數名詞作主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復數形式。
English and Chinese are quite different languages.
若and并列的主語(yǔ)在意義上指同一個(gè)人，同一概念或對立統一的事物，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數。
The manager and secretary is as busy as a bee all day. 那位經(jīng)理兼秘書(shū)整天忙忙碌碌。（兩個(gè)名詞共用一個(gè)冠詞，指同一個(gè)人）

9）單復數同形的名詞如deer, means；集合名詞如family作主語(yǔ)，如何決定謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的單復數，請見(jiàn)第四章冠詞。
