知識(shí)要點(diǎn):
在英語的句子中,謂語動(dòng)詞的形式應(yīng)與主語的人稱和數(shù)保持一致。如何判定,則要看句子的意思。多數(shù)情況下,根據(jù)句子的主語形式就能判定,但有的則要看整句的意思,及強(qiáng)調(diào)的內(nèi)容。下面我們就常用的、易混的幾種情況作一下解釋。
1、以單數(shù)名詞或代詞、不定式、動(dòng)名詞短語或從句作主語時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞要用單數(shù)形式。如:
1)The book is on the table.
2)He is reading English.
3)To work hard is necessary.(It is necessary to work hard.)
4)How you get there is a problem.
2、復(fù)數(shù)主語跟復(fù)數(shù)動(dòng)詞。如:
Children like to play toys.
3、在倒裝句中,動(dòng)詞的數(shù)應(yīng)和它后面的主語的數(shù)一致。如以here,there開頭,be 動(dòng)詞與后面第一個(gè)名詞一致。如:
1)There is a dog near the door.
2)There were no schools in this area before liberation.
3)Here comes the bus.
4)On the wall were two famous paintings.
5)Here is Mr Brown and his children.
4、and連接兩個(gè)或兩個(gè)以上的并列主語時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)。如果主語后跟有with, together with, except, but, perhaps , like, including, as well as, no less than, more than, rather than等引起的短語,謂語動(dòng)詞仍與短語前的主語的形式保持一致。如:
1)Jane, Mary and I are good friends.
2)He and my father work in the same factory.
3)His sister, no less than you, is wrong.
4)The father, rather than the brothers, is responsible for the accident.
5)He, like you and Xiao Liu is very diligent.
6)Every picture except these two has been sold.
7)Alice with her parents often goes to the park on Sundays.
8)Alice as well as her friends was invited to the concert.
9)Nobody but Mary and I was in the classroom at that time.
5、并列主語如果指的是同一個(gè)人、同一事物或同一概念時(shí),謂語動(dòng)詞用單數(shù),and后面的名詞沒有冠詞。如:
1)The writer and worker is coming to our school tomorrow.
這位工人作家明天要來我們學(xué)校。
2)Bread and butter is their daily food.
面包和黃油是他們每日的食品。

1)Those who want to go please sign their names here.
2)Anyone who is against this opinion may speak out.
3)He is one of the students who were praised at the meeting.
10、表示時(shí)間、距離、價(jià)格、度量衡等的復(fù)數(shù)名詞或短語作為一個(gè)整體看待時(shí),其謂語動(dòng)詞常用單數(shù)形式。如:
1)Three years is not a long time.
2)Ten dollars is what he needs.
3)Five hundred miles is a long distance.
11、復(fù)數(shù)形式的專有名詞作為整體看待(如人名、地點(diǎn)、國家、組織、書籍、報(bào)刊等),動(dòng)詞用單數(shù)形式。如:
1)The United States is in North America.
