( 十四 ) 主谓一致 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。1. 并列结构作主语时。▲ 由 and 连接的两个单数名词作主语时,谓语动词用复数。如: A young man and a girl want to go there.★ 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.▲ 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: No man and no animal is to be found on the moon. Many a doctor and many a nurse is busy with their work.▲ 由 not only...but also... ; either...or... ; neither...nor... ; or 连接的 并列主语,谓语动词与就近的名词或代词保持一致。如: Either the players or the coach is responsible for the defeat.▲ 当主语由 as well as, along with, together with , rather than, no less than, but, except, besides, in addition to, like, including 等词连 接时,其谓语动词与前面的名词或代词保持一致。如: An iron and steal works, with some satellite factories, is to be built here. Tom, along with his friends, goes skating every Saturday. 2. 百分数、分数作主语时。 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: Fifty percent of the students in our school are girls. Three fourths of the surface of the earth is sea.3. 不定代词作主语时。▲ 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: Neither of us has gone through regular training. Nobody wants to go there , does he? Something has been done to end the strike.▲all 作主语表示人时,谓语动词用复...
