2024屆廣東省廣州市天河中學(xué)高考英語語法一輪復(fù)習(xí)基礎(chǔ)知識點精講:主謂一致01(含答案)
主謂一致
主謂一致(concord),是指主語和謂語動詞要保持人稱和數(shù)上的一致。英語中動詞be的變化形式最多,如I am,You are,He is,We are等。主語I一定要用am的動詞形式,這就叫“主謂一致”。 ?一、?主謂一致的三個原則
主謂一致涉及三個基本原則,即語法一致原則(principle of grammatical concord)、意義一致原則(principle of notional concord)和就近原則(principle of proximity)。
A.?語法一致
語法一致是指主語和謂語在單復(fù)數(shù)形式上的一致關(guān)系,主語為單數(shù)形式,謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式;反之,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。 ? My child has no intention of spending a vacation with me. 我的孩子不想與我一起度假。 ? My children have no intention of spending a vacation with me. 我的孩子們不想與我一起度假。B.?意義一致
意義一致是說謂語動詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)要取決于主語所表達的概念,而不取決于表面上的語法標(biāo)記。
1. 主語形式雖為單數(shù),但意義為復(fù)數(shù),謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。 ? The only people who are interested in the book seem to be lawyers. 唯一對這本書感興趣的人好像是律師。 ? The majority of primary school teachers are women. 大多數(shù)小學(xué)老師都是女的。 ? 2. 主語形式為復(fù)數(shù),而意義上卻是單數(shù),謂語動詞用單數(shù)。 ? No news is good news.? 沒有消息就是好消息。 ? Billiards is becoming more and more popular in some cities. 桌球在一些城市里越來越受歡迎。C.?就近原則
就近原則是指當(dāng)主語由兩個或兩個以上名詞或代詞組成時,謂語動詞的數(shù)要與它緊鄰的名詞或代詞的數(shù)一致。 ? There is a square table and some chairs in the center of the dining-room. 餐廳中央有一張方桌和幾把椅子。 ? Either your students or William knows this. 不是你的學(xué)生就是威廉知道這件事。 ? 注意: ? 一般說來,究竟何時采用何種原則,應(yīng)視英語習(xí)慣用法而定。但在實際使用中,如果對上述三種原則捉摸不定,遵循語法一致的原則是一種比較穩(wěn)妥的方法。 ? 二、?并列主語的主謂一致
A.?由and 連接的并列主語
1. 用and(或both... and)連接并列主語時,謂語動詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)。 ? A hammer and a saw are useful tools. 榔頭和鋸子都是有用的工具。 ? Both industry and agriculture have been greatly developed these years. 這幾年工農(nóng)業(yè)大大地發(fā)展了。 ? ①當(dāng)and連接的兩個名詞是指組合到一起的一件完整的或成套的東西,或表示同一個人或一種概念時,謂語動詞要用單數(shù)形式。 ? The writer and teacher is speaking at the meeting.? 這位教師兼作家正在會上發(fā)言。 ? A needle and thread was given to her, but she could not sew the button on. 針線給了她,但她不會把鈕扣縫起來。(a needle and thread 作為同一件東西對待) ? Going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit. 早睡早起是個好習(xí)慣。(going to bed early and getting up early 被看成同一概念) ? Bread and butter is his usual breakfast. 他經(jīng)常以黃油面包當(dāng)早餐。 ? A cart and horse was seen in the distance. 遠方看見一輛馬車。 ? 必背: ? 英語中并列結(jié)構(gòu)表示整體概念的有: ? iron and steel 鋼鐵 ? law and order 治安 ? bread and butter 黃油面包 ? a watch and chain 一塊帶鏈的表 ? a knife and fork刀叉 ? a coat and tie配有領(lǐng)帶的上衣 ? aim and end 目的 ? truth and honesty 真誠2. 一個名詞為幾個并列形容詞所修飾時,這時主語和謂語動詞的一致關(guān)系一般遵循語法一致的原則。 ? Clever and slow students are treated alike. 聰明的和遲鈍的學(xué)生都受到相同的對待。 ? A black and white kitten was found in the garden yesterday. 昨天在花園里發(fā)現(xiàn)一只黑白色的小花貓。 ? 比較: ? A black and a white dogs are playing in the yard. 一只黑狗和一只白狗正在院子里玩。(兩只狗) ? A black and white dog is playing in the yard. 一只黑白花狗正在院子里玩。(一只狗)
3.在each... and each ..., every...and every..., no...and no...等結(jié)構(gòu)之后,謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。 ? Each boy and each girl has an apple. 每個男孩和女孩都有蘋果。 ? Every hour and every minute is precious. 每一小時,每一分鐘,都很寶貴。 ? No bird and no beast is seen on the lonely island. 荒島上既看不到鳥也看不到野獸。
4. 帶有并列動詞的what從句作主語時,要根據(jù)意義一致的原則決定動詞的數(shù)。 ? What he says and does do not agree. 他的言行不一致。(具體指他說的話和他做的事) ? What he says and does does not concern me. 他的言行與我無關(guān)。(泛指他的為人)5.在某些成語中,一些并列主語用and相連時,其后謂語用單數(shù)形式。 ? All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. 光工作不玩耍,聰明的孩子也會變傻。 ? Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. 早睡早起使人健康、富有、聰慧。B.?以or, either...or, neither...nor, not...but, not only...but also等連接的名詞(代詞)作并列主語時,謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)應(yīng)根據(jù)就近一致的原則。
Neither he nor I am willing to go shopping today. 他和我今天都不愿去購物。 ? --Are either you or he to go there --是你還是他將去那里? ? --Neither is. --一個也不去。 ? Not only the Writer brothers but also their father was there. 不只是萊特兄弟在那里,連他們的父親也在。 ? Not the students but their teatrers but also their father was there. ? 被邀請去參加晚會的不是學(xué)生(們),而是他們的老師。
C.主語后跟有as well as, as much as, no less than, along with, like, rather than, together with, besides, including, in addition to等引導(dǎo)的詞組時,其謂語動詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)按主語的單、復(fù)數(shù)而定,也就是說,謂語動詞的數(shù)不受這些詞組的影響。 ?

單數(shù)的主語跟單數(shù)的動詞,復(fù)數(shù)的主語跟復(fù)數(shù)的動詞,這是符合語法一致的原則。但在實際運用中,往往會出現(xiàn)較為復(fù)雜的情況:
A.?形復(fù)意單的名詞作主語
形復(fù)意單的名詞作主語(即形式為復(fù)數(shù),意義為單數(shù)),按意義一致的原則,用作單數(shù)意義時,謂語用單數(shù),反之,謂語用復(fù)數(shù)。

The pair of shoes is under the bed. 這雙鞋在床下。4. 單、復(fù)數(shù)同形名詞作主語時,按意義一致的原則,用作單數(shù)意義時,謂語用單數(shù);用作復(fù)數(shù)意義時,謂語用復(fù)數(shù)。這類名詞有:sheep, deer, fish, means, works, species, Chinese, Japanese等。 ? The (This) glass works was set up in 1986. 這家玻璃廠建于1986年。 ? The (These) glass works are near the railway station. 這些玻璃廠在火車站附近。 ? This species of rose is very rare. 這種玫瑰很稀有。 ?
