2017年考研:英語語法要遵從一致原則

下面講解的是關於語法一致原則的知識點:

語法一致原則是指句子的主語和謂語在語法形式上一致,即通常情況下,謂語動詞的單複數形式依主語的單複數形式而定, 主語為單數形式時謂語動詞用單數形式, 主語為複數形式時謂語動詞也用複數形式。

1、以單數名詞或代詞、動詞不定式短語、動名詞短語或從句作主語時,謂語動詞一般用單數形式;主語為複數時,謂語動詞用複數形式。

如:His father is working on the farm. / To study English well is not easy. / What he said is very important for us all. / The children were in the classroom two hours ago. / Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes.

注意:由what引導的主語從句,後面的謂語動詞多數情況用單數形式,但若表語是複數或what從句是一個帶有複數意義的並列結構時,主句的'謂語動詞用複數形式。如:What I bought were three English books. / What I say and do is (are) helpful to you.

2、由連線詞and或both ……and連線起來的合成主語後面,要用複數形式的謂語動詞。

如:Lucy and Lily are twins. / She and I are classmates. / The boy and the girl were surprised when they heard the news. / Both she and he are Young Pioneers.

注意:

(1)若and所連線的兩個詞是指同一個人或物時,它後面的謂語動詞就應用單數形式。如:The writer and artist has come.

(2)由and連線的並列單數主語前如果分別有no,each,every more than a (an),many a (an)修飾時,其謂語動詞要用單數形式。

如:Every student and every teacher was in the room. / No boy and no girl likes it.

3、主語為單數名詞或代詞,儘管後面跟有with,together with,except,but,like,as well as,rather than,more than,no less than,besides,including等引起的短語,謂語動詞仍用單數形式;若主語為複數,謂語用複數形式。如:Mr. Green, together with his wife and children, has come to China. / Nobody but Jim and Mike was on the playground. / She, like you and Tom, is very tall.

4、either,neither,each,every 或no +單數名詞和由some,any,no,every構成的複合不定代詞,都作單數看待。如:Each of us has a new book. / Everything around us is matter.

注意:

(1)在口語中當either或neither後跟有“of+複數名詞(或代詞)”作主語時,其謂語動詞也可用複數。如:Neither of the texts is (are) interesting.

(2)若none of後面的名詞是不可數名詞,它的謂語動詞就要用單數;若它後面的名詞是複數,它的謂語動詞用單數或複數都可以。

如:None of us has (have) been to America.

5、在定語從句時,關係代詞that, who, which等作主語時,其謂語動詞的數應與句中先行詞的數一致。

如:He is one of my friends who are working hard. / He is the only one of my friends who is working hard.

6、如果集體名詞指的是整個集體,它的謂語動詞用單數;如果它指集體的成員,其謂語動詞就用複數形式。這些詞有family,class,crowd,committee,population,audience等。

如:Class Four is on the third floor. / Class Four are unable to agree upon a monitor.

注意:people,police,cattle等名詞一般都用作複數。如:The police are looking for the lost child.

7、由“a lot of,lots of,plenty of,the rest of,the majority of + 名詞”構成的短語以及由“分數或百分數+名詞”構成的短語作主語,其謂語動詞的數要根據短語中後面名詞的數而定。

如:There are a lot of people in the classroom. / The rest of the lecture is wonderful. / 50% of the students in our class are girls.

注意:a number of“許多”,作定語修飾複數名詞,謂語用複數;the number of“……的數量”,主語是number,謂語用單數。

8、在倒裝句中,謂語動詞的數應與其後的主語一致。

如:There comes the bus. / On the wall are many pictures. / Such is the result. / Such are the facts.
