英语语法之主谓一致总结

引导语:英语语法中的主谓一致要怎么学呢?接下来是小编为你带来收集整理的文章,欢迎阅读!

几个容易弄错的主谓一致问题

1.“many a +名词”和“more than one +名词”作主语

谓语动词的数通常用单数(即遵循语法一致的原则):

Many a child was playing there. 很多小孩在那儿玩。

More than one student has failed the exam. 不止一个学生考试未及格。

2. each 用于复数名词后作同位语

此时谓语动词用复数:

They each have an English-Chinese dictionary. 他们每人都有一本英汉词典。

The young people each carry a big bag. 这些年轻人个个背着一个大袋子。

3. 主语后接in addition to, with, along with, together with, except, but等介词

其后的动词形式取决介词前主语:

Nothing but trees was to be seen. 除了树木之外什么也看不见。

No one except my parents knows anything about this. 除我父母外没人知道此事。

Jim, together with his classmates, has seen the film. 吉姆和他的同学都看过这部电影。

4. means作主语

名词means(方法)单数与复数同形,用作主语时,其谓语的单复数要视具体含义而定(尤其注意其前的修饰语):

These means are very good. 这些方法很好。

Such a means is really unpleasant. 这样的方法确实是令人不愉快。

若没有特定的修饰语或语境,则用单数或复数谓语均可:

There is [are] no good means. 没有好的方法。

Are [Is] there any other means of doing it? 做这事还有其他的什么办法吗?

“顺口溜”的特有韵律会使抽象、烦琐的词语和语法知识、规则化难为易,便于记忆,增强了学生的学习热情和学习信心,学生的学习成绩会直线上升,有的记忆深刻,甚至会终生难忘。

如:

1.最初的简单动词的学习。

来是come,去是go。点头yes,摇头no。再见要用goodbye,谢谢要说thank you。

2.关于Be的用法:BTH

我用am,你用 are,is用在他、她、它,凡是复数都用are。不能错来,不能差。

3.关于冠词的使用:BTH

不见原因(元音),别施恩(n)。

4.不用冠词的部分情况:BTH

季节、月份、节假日,三餐、球类和星期。

5.以-fe结尾变复数只加s的单词:

gulf roof chief serf blief proof handkerchief

海湾边,屋顶上,首领奴仆两相望,谁说他们无信仰,证据写在手帕上。

6.复习以-f (e)结尾的名词变复数:

leaf half self wife knife shelf wolf

thief

树叶半数自己黄,妻子拿刀去割粮,

架后窜出一只狼,就像强盗逃命忙。

7.关于以o 结尾的单词变复数加es的情况:

Negro hero tomato potato

黑人英雄吃土豆和西红柿。

8.关于非延续性动词:

begin leave go borrow come return join die buy arrive

开始离去,借来还,出生入死,买到家。

9.过去时:

过去时的句子变化口诀:过去时,时过去。过去事态是否是,过去时间是标志。否定句很简单,did之后not添。疑问句也不难,did置于主语前。过去置于动词前,谓语动词需还原。

巧记动词过去时形式-ed的变化:

(1)变化规则:动词变化很好记,一般末尾加-ed。如果词尾e有个紧跟其后加个d。辅音字母加y,要y把变i,特殊变化有熟记,保你一定考第一。

(2)读音规则:

清(清辅音)读清[t],浊读浊[d],[t][d]后面读[id]。

10.关于基数词的书写:

基数词不难记,12以内词各异,13数到19级,teen莫丢弃。20、30到90, 尾随ty是整十,说到几使几,中有 “—”要强记,遇到整百要警惕。

11.关于基数词变序数词:

基变序,有规律,123肩靠肩。8去e,9去t, ve要用f替,辅(音)后y, y→ie,th结尾莫大意,若遇数字几十几,只变个位就可以。

12.修饰名词的大致词序排列:

(A.)美圆小旧黄,法国木书房。“美” 代表描述性的词, “圆”代表形状, “小” 代表大小, “旧” 代表新旧、年龄, “黄” 代表颜色, “法国” 代表产地 “木” 代表质地 “书” 代表名词性定语说明用途。如:

(1*.)The first beautiful little white Chinese stone bridge.

第一座美丽的中国小白石桥。

(2*.)A tall intelligent young Chinese officer.

一个聪慧的个子很高的年轻的`中国军官。

(B.)或者用:

县官行令,杀国才;植树苗,大新颜。

县(限定词)官(冠词)行(形容词)令(表年龄的词),杀国(表产地的词)才(材料);植(指示代词)树(数词)苗(描述性的词),大(表大小的词)新(表新旧的词)颜(表颜色的词)。

如:

(1*.)A few new major urban highways.

几条新的主要城区公路。

(2*.)Some sour green eating apple.

一些酸绿的食用苹果。

13.关于被动语态的使用:

动作谁做的不知道,说出谁做没必要。

接受动作要强调,被动语态最为妙。

14.关于五种简单句:

英语句子万万千,五大句型把线牵。

句子中间为动词,后接语是关键。

系动词后接表语,vi独身无牵连。

vt又可分三类,单宾双宾最常见。

15.双元音也好背,合口集中八个位。

辅音共计二十八,七浊一清又八对。

四个连对也包括,有气无声清辅音。

有声无气浊辅音,发音特点应掌握。

16. 使役动词后接动词不定式做宾语补足语省略“to”的特殊动词:

一些动词要掌握,一听hear,二看see watch三感觉feel, make let help[2],再加动词不带to,help是个两面派,其他动词非这块。还可以掌握“八字言”一感feel,二听hear, listen to, 三让have, let, make,四看see, look at, observe, watch 后只接动名词。

在英语中,为了避免重复,句子中的某些部分经常省略,给考生的理解增加了困难。现对省略现象总结如下:

一、并列复合句中某些相同成分的省略。

1. This beeper works well,but that one doesnt (work well).

2. All uranium atoms do not have the same atomic weight. Some of them weigh 234 units,some (of them) (weigh) 235 units,and some (of them) (weigh) 238 units.所有的铀原子并非都有相同的原子量。其中有的重234,有的重235,而有的重238。

6. Henry looked about as if (he were) in search of something.

亨利向四周环视,似乎在寻找什么。

7. She studies very hard though (she is) still rather weak.

她尽管体弱,但学习仍十分努力。

三、当见到“when (或if,where,wherever,whenever,as soon as,as fast a s,than等)+possible/necessary等”时,可理解中间省略了it is(或was)。

1. Answer these questions,if (it is) possible without referring to the book.

如果有可能,请不看书回答这些问题。

2. When (it is) necessary you can help us to do something.

必要时你可以帮助我们做些事。

2. The distance (which或that) light travels in one second is 300,000 kilometers.

光每秒走的距离是30万公里。

1. There is a chance Dr. Li will be able to be back for May Day.

李博士也许有机会能回来过五一节。

2. We have to make a list of all the books there are on the subject. 我们必须把所有关于这个题目的书列出一个单子。

中考英语主谓一致课件

导语:主谓一致是中考英语必考的知识点,下面小编分享中考英语主谓一致课件,欢迎参考!

在英语中,句子中的谓语动词在人称和单、复数形式上必须和主语保持一致,这就是我们通常说的“主谓一致”。这一点看似简单,但在实际运用中却常常遇到麻烦。一般情况下,主谓之间的一致关系由以下三个原则的支配: 语法一致原则、 意义一致原则和就近原则。

一、语法一致

主谓一致的原则是指主语和谓语从语法形式上取得一致:主语是单数形式,谓语也采取单数形式;主语是复数形式,谓语亦采取复数形式.例如:

He often helps me learn English. (主语是单数形式,谓语也采取单数形式) .

My friends often help me learn English. (主语是复数形式,谓语也采取复数形式)

但主语和谓语从语法形式上取得一致的问题远不只上述的那么简单,有许多方面的情况需要去具体地对待:

1、不定式,动名词,以及从句作主语时应看作单数,谓语动词用单数.

例如: Reading aloud is helpful to learn English.大声朗读对学习英语是有帮助的。

What he said has been recorded .他说的话已被录音了.

2、不定代词one, every, each, everybody, everyone, one of, no one, nothing, nobody, someone, somebody, either, neither, many a 等作主语或是修饰主语时应看作单数,谓语动词用单数.但none 作主语时,谓语动词既可用单数也可用复数,这要取决于说话人的看法。

例如:Neither of my sisters likes sports .我的妹妹中没人喜欢运动.

Every boy and girl shows great interest in this book .每个男孩和女孩对这本书都表现出很大的兴趣.

3、表示国家,机构,事件,作品等名称的专有名词作主语时应看作单数,谓语动词用单数.

例如: One Thousand And One Nights tells people lots of interesting stories . 《一千零一夜》给人们讲了许多有趣的故事。

4、 a kind of, the number of等与名词构成名词短语作主语时应看作单数,谓语动词用单数.

例如: The number of workers in the factory is 400. 这个工厂里工人的数量是400.

A kind of rose in the garden smells very pleasant.这座花园里有一种玫瑰香气怡人.

5、由some, several, both, few, many, a number of 等词修饰主语,或是由它们自身作主语时应看作复数,谓语动词用复数.另外,由and连接两个主语时,谓语一般用复数.

例如: On the seashore, some people are playing volleyball 海边,有些人在打排球。

Both of us are fond of watching football games .我们俩都喜欢看足球赛.

A number of will-be graduates are voluntarily going to work in the West of China. 许多即将毕业的学生打算自愿去中国西部工作.

6、有些表示数量的百分数,分数等后面加名词或代词作主语时,要根据这个名词或代词来决定其谓语动词的单复数形式.如:a lot of, most of, any of, half of , three fifths of, eighty percent of, some of, none of, the rest of , all of等后接不可数名词,或是单数形式的名词作主语时应看作单数,谓语动词用单数;但如果后接可数名词的复数形式作主语时应看作复数,谓语动词用复数.

例如: A lot of money in the shop was stolen yesterday. 昨天那家商店丢失了许多钱.

A lot of students are from England in the school.那个学校里很多学生来自英国。

二、意义一致

这一原则是指,从意义着眼来解决主谓一致问题.有时主语形式上为单数,但意义上却是复数,那么谓语依意义也用复数形式;而有时主语形式上为复数,但意义上却是单数,那么谓语依意义亦用单数形式.

1) 当主语后面接由but, except, besides ,as well as, as much as, including,more than,no less than, rather than, together with等引导的词组时,其谓语动词的.单复数形式通常由前面的词来决定。在这样的句子里,这些词所引导的词组不影响主语自身的单,复数形式,它们在句子里其实是状语.

例如: The teacher, with all his students, is going to have a picnic this weekend.老师打算这个周末与学生们一起去野炊.

The students, together with their teacher , are going to have a picnic this weekend.学生们打算这个周末与他们的老师一起去野炊.

我们完全可以将上面句子中的那些词组都分别搬到句首或是放到句末去,因为它们在句子里是状语: The students are going to have a picnic this weekend together with their teacher.

2) 表示时间,金钱,距离,体积,重量,面积,数字等词语作主语时,,谓语动词常用单数形式。如:

Eight hours of sleep is enough. 八小时的睡眠足够了。

Twenty years stands for a long period in one's life. 二十年在人的一生里意味着一个很长的时期.

3) 形容词前加定冠词即"the + 形容词"作主语时,其意义若是指个人或是抽象概念应看作单数,谓语动词用单数;指一类人则应该看作是复数,那么谓语动词也应该用复数.

例如: The sick here are very well cared for. 这里的病人都被照顾得很好。

The true is to be distinguished from the false. 真实与虚假应加以区别。

4)由and 连接的两个单数名词作主语时,谓语动词一般根据语法一致的原则用复数。

但如果在意义上指同一个人、同一件事或同一个概念时,谓语动词要用单数形式。

如:The writer and teacher is coming. 那位作家兼教师来了。(作家和教师指同一个人)

The writer and the teacher are coming. 作家和老师来了。(作家和老师是两个人)

5)集体名词作主语时,谓语动词的数取决于主语的意义:主语表示整体时视为单数,谓语动词用单数;主语表示集体中的个体成员时视为复数,谓语动词用复数.这类集体名词常见的有:army, class, club, crowd, family, government, group, people, police, public, team等.

例如: The family are all fond of football. 那一家人都喜欢足球.

The family is the tiniest cell of the society. 家庭是社会的最小的细胞.

6)一些形式为复数,意思为单数的名词,如:trousers, pants, shorts,glasses, 等作主语时,谓语动词用复数.

如:Her glasses are new. 她的眼镜是新的.

但当这类名词前有a pair of 修饰时,谓语动词应用单数.

如: This pair of trousers is made in Hangzhou.

三、就近原则

这一原则是指,谓语动词的人称和数常常与最近作主语的词语保持一致.常出现在这类句子中的连词有:or, either… or …, neither… nor … ,not only… but also …等.

例如: Either I or they are responsible for the result of the matter. 不是我,就是他们要对那件事的结局负责任.

Neither his family nor he knows anything about it. 他全家人和他都不知道那件事.

常见考法

对于主谓一致的考查,通常会以单选的形式出现,多是让我们选择合适的谓语动词。

典型例题:The factory, including its machines and buildings, __________ burnt last night.

A. is B. are C. were D. was

解析:but, except, besides, with, together with, along with, including, as well as, rather than, like等词连接主语时,谓语动词和前面的主语保持一致,本题中就是和The factory保持一致。而这些词所引导的词组不影响主语自身的单,复数形式,它们在句子里其实是状语.

答案:D

误区提醒

主谓一致这一知识点比较琐碎,在运用中常会因为考虑不全面而出错,所以我们必须把每一种用法记住,灵活运用。尤其要注意就近原则、集体名词和百分数,分数短语作主语的情况。

典型例题:Either Jane or Steven _____ watching TV now.

A. were B. is C. was D. are

解析:本题考查的是就近原则。either… or …, neither… nor … ,not only… but also …连接两个主语时,谓语动词的人称和数常常与最近作主语的词语保持一致。本题中就是和Steven保持一致。有now.可知是现在进行时,排除A和C.

答案:B
