高考英語(yǔ)語(yǔ)法復(fù)習(xí)——主謂一致問題
(四) 主謂一致問題
主謂一致是指主語(yǔ)與謂語(yǔ)在數(shù)上要一致。把握主謂一致問題，考生主要解決的是對(duì)不同結(jié)構(gòu)的主語(yǔ)單復(fù)數(shù)的認(rèn)定，進(jìn)而選擇適當(dāng)?shù)闹^語(yǔ)。解決主謂一致主要遵循三個(gè)原則：
語(yǔ)法一致原則
意義一致原則
就近一致原則
很多情況下應(yīng)該綜合利用這三個(gè)原則來處理主謂一致，在不同情況下可能應(yīng)用三個(gè)原則中的不同原則，具體應(yīng)用哪種原則應(yīng)該視具體情況而定。總結(jié)如下：
一.謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)的情況
1.動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)、不定式短語(yǔ)、名詞性從句做主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)。如：
Buying clothes is often a time-consuming job because those clothes that a person likes are rarely the cones that fit him or her.
(1987年考研題)

Five times five makes twenty five
3.一般用and連接的兩個(gè)單詞或短語(yǔ)做主語(yǔ)時(shí)候，謂語(yǔ)用復(fù)數(shù)，但是下面用and連接的主語(yǔ)表示一個(gè)概念，謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)：
law and order 法制 soap and water 肥皂水
a cup and saucer 茶杯碟子 fork and knife 刀叉
the needle and thread 針線 trial and error 反復(fù)嘗試，不斷摸索
horse and carriage 馬車 time and tide 歲月
bread and butter 奶油面包 the ebb and flow 盛衰，潮漲潮落
如： If law and order not preserved, neither the citizen nor his property is safe.
A. is B. are C. was d. were
答案：A。
4.表示學(xué)科和某些疾病名稱的名詞是復(fù)數(shù)形式，作主語(yǔ)時(shí)候謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式
Linguistics is a branch of study on human language.
5.有些名詞形式上是復(fù)數(shù)，意義上是單數(shù)，根據(jù)意義一致原則動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)
The chaos was stopped by the police
The news is a great encouragement to us
A series of debates between the lectures was scheduled for the next weekend.
6.用and 連接的成份表示一個(gè)單一概念時(shí)候，動(dòng)詞謂語(yǔ)用單數(shù)形式
Bread and butter is our daily food
Time and tide waits for no man

1. 由and, both and, 連接的并列主語(yǔ)，和both ,a few, many ,several 等修飾語(yǔ)后面謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

The Chinese people are brave and hardworking
The cattle are grazing in the sunshine
3.當(dāng)表示民族的詞與冠詞合用當(dāng)主語(yǔ)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式

Three million tons of coal were exported that year
三.謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞可用單數(shù)，也可以用復(fù)數(shù)的情況
1. 就近一致原則
這種情況下，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞使用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)取決于最靠近該動(dòng)詞的主語(yǔ)的單復(fù)數(shù)，存在這種情況的主要由以下幾種可能：
1) 由連詞 eitheror neithernor whether ornot onlybut (also) ;or 等連接的并列主語(yǔ)
Neither money nor fame has influence on me
Not only you but also he is wrong
2) 在倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)中，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞與后面的第一個(gè)主語(yǔ)一致

The president of the college, together with the deans, is planning a conference for the purpose of laying down certain regulations. (1981年考研題)
3.關(guān)系代詞做主語(yǔ)的定語(yǔ)從句中，謂語(yǔ)的數(shù)要與先行詞一致。如：
Despite much research, there are still certain elements in the life cycle of the insect that are not fully understood.
(1996年考研題)
There are many valuable services which the public are willing to pay for, but which do not bring a return in money to the community.
(1990年考研題)
4.一些表示數(shù)量的短語(yǔ)與名詞連用時(shí)候，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數(shù)取決于名詞的數(shù)，名詞是復(fù)數(shù)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)，反之就用單數(shù)。這些短語(yǔ)包括：a lot of /lots of; plenty of/heaps of; half of; two-third (three-fourth) of; eighty(ten, twenty) percent; part of; rest of ; none of 等等
Two-thirds of people present are women
Lots of damage was caused by the fire
5.集體名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞的數(shù)取決于主語(yǔ)表示的意思和數(shù)，當(dāng)表示整體時(shí)候，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞就用單數(shù)，當(dāng)強(qiáng)調(diào)集體中的個(gè)體時(shí)候，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞就用復(fù)數(shù)。這些集體名詞如：army, audience, band ,government ,group ,flock, police, public ,staff ,team ,troop. Crowd, firm, family 等等
The family is the basic unit of our society
The family were watching the TV
The audience was enormous
The audience were greatly moved at the words
