何为主谓一致,这可能是非英语国家的朋友遇到最多的问题之一了。英语中的主谓一致-Subject-Verb Agreement,意指句中的谓语动词和主语在人称和数上保持一致,谓语需要根据主语来确定使用相一致的单数或复数谓语。
大刘从网络上找到了一篇关于主谓一致的10组规则介绍,这里做下知识点分解,希望对大家有所帮助。
RULE 1
The subject and verb must agree in number
句子的主语和动词的数必须一致
例如:
He goes to work by bus.他乘公交车上班
They visit us every other week.他们每隔一周来拜访我们
Rule 2
The workds and phrases "with","as well as","together with","along with" are not part of the subject and the verb agrees with the subject.
“with”、“as”、“with”、“with”、“with”、“with”等词组和短语不属于主语,动词与主语一致
例如:
The politician, along with the newsmen, is expected shortly.这位政治家和新闻机制预计很快就要到了
Rule 3
Two subjects joined by "and" are plural.
由"and"组成的2个主语是复数形式
例如:
Mary and Joan are quite different.
玛丽和琼安完全不同
&特例:当and连接的2个主语为同一概念时,谓语仍然使用单数形式
Bacon and eggs is my favourite dish.培根鸡蛋是我最喜欢的菜
Rule 4
With collective nouns, the verb might be singular or plural (UK), depending on meaning.
对于集合名词,动词可以是单数或复数(uk),这取决于句意
例如:
The audience was clearly enchanted by her performance.观众显然被她的表演迷住了
The audience are strangely subdued, clapping politely after each song.观众们出奇地安静,只是在每首歌结束后报以礼貌性的掌声
Rule 5
2 subject joined by "or/not" "either...or/neither...nor","not only...but also" take the verb that agrees with the subject closest to it.
主语由“or/not”“either……or/neither……nor”“not only……but also”连接,动词与最接近主语的主语一致
例如:
Neither my mother nor my father goes to university.我的母亲和父亲都没有上过大学
Rule 6
In sentences beginning with "here" or "there", the true subject follows the verb.
在以“here”或“there”开头的句子中,真正的主语跟在动词后面(以谓语动词后的主语为准)
例如:
There is a bush near the school playground.学校操场附近有一片灌木丛
Rule 7
The verb is singular if the subject is singular indefinite pronoun such as each, either, no one, every one, etc
如果主语是单数不定代词,如each, either, no one, every one等,则谓语动词也为单数形式
例如:
Nobody gets rich from writing nowadays.如今没有人能够靠写作致富
The verb is plural if the subject is a plural indefinite pronoun such as several, few, both, many.
如果主语是复数不定代词,如several, few, both, many,则谓语动词也为复数形式
例如:
Several villages have been isolated by the heavy snowfall.好几个村庄因为大雪与外界隔绝
Some indefinite pronouns are may be singular or plural, depending on their use in sentence.
有些不定代词可以是单数或复数,这取决于它们在句子中的用法
例如:
Some of the books are out of place. Please put them in the right order. (Books are countable)有一些书没有放到位置上,请按照正确的顺序摆放。(Books为可数名词)
Some of the music was weird. (Muisic is uncountable)有些音乐很奇怪。(Music为不可数名词)
Rule 8
Use a singular verb for expressions of measurement, time, money and weight when the amount is considered one unit.
当主语被认为表述一个单位时,使用单数动词来表示度量、时间、金钱和重量
例如:
Fifty dollars seems a reasonable price.5美元看上去是一个合理的价位
Five dollars were scattered on the ground.地上散落着5美元(钱有多张)
Rule 9
Plural form subjects with a singular meaning take a singular verb such as mumps, measles, calisthenics, statistics, civics, etc...
具有单数意义的复数形式主语采用单数动词,如腮腺炎、麻疹、健美操、统计学、公民学等
例如:
Gymnastics is his favourite sport.体操是他最喜欢的运动
Rule 10
Titles of single entities (books, organizations, countries, etc.) are always singular.
单个实体(书籍、组织、国家等)的标题总是单一的
例如:
Harry Potter is an interesting novel.《哈利波特》是一本非常有趣的小说
