10、ture(家具)   housework(家務(wù))  grass(草)    homework(家庭作業(yè))fun(樂趣)    ice(冰)  information(消息) luck(運氣)   knowledge(知識) news(新聞)paper(紙)   progress(進(jìn)步)   sugar(糖)    snow(雪)    rain(雨)   r

14、ing-room；（三）主謂一致、1、語法形式上的一致。主語為單數(shù)形式，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式；主語為復(fù)數(shù)形式，謂語動詞也用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：The number of the students in his class is very large. 但是：A number of students are planting trees on the hill.(a number of = many )Tom and Peter are good friends.She has seen the film three times.The teacher and writer is going to gi

15、ve us a talk next week.(the teacher and writer指同一個人)The teacher and the writer are talking over there.(the teacher and the writer指兩個人)The knife and fork is  lying on the table.(the knife and fork指同一個概念)A horse is a useful animal.The woman with a baby in her arms is Anne's aunt.(劃線部分為定語)He ，

16、as well as his friends ，is very interested in English.(劃線部分為狀語)The teacher, together with his students, is singing an English song in the classroom.(劃線部分為狀語)2、意義上的一致。1）主語形式雖為單數(shù)，但意義為復(fù)數(shù)，則謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：The Smith family are having breakfast.單數(shù)形式表示復(fù)數(shù)意義的名詞有family，army，people，police，class，group，crowd，team等。2

17、）主語形式為復(fù)數(shù)而意義上卻是單數(shù)，則謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。如：The news is very exciting.形式上為復(fù)數(shù)而意義上卻是單數(shù)的名詞有news，works（工廠）和一些以ics結(jié)尾的學(xué)科名稱，如physics，politics，maths等。3、就近原則。即謂語動詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)形式取決于最靠近它的詞語。如用連詞or，either.or.，neither.nor.，not only.but also.等連接的并列主語，如果一個是單數(shù)或第三人稱單數(shù)、一個是復(fù)數(shù)或非第三人稱單數(shù)，謂語動詞要與靠近它的主語一致。如：Either you or he knows about Mr White.

18、Neither she nor I am a doctor.Are either you or he a doctor?注：請注意如下幾個問題。1、名詞作主語1）某些集體名詞（如family，class，team等）作主語時，如果作為一個整體來看，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式；如果就其中一個個成員而言，謂語動詞則要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：His family is a happy one.His whole family were watching TV when I got to their home.The population of China is very large, and 80% of the

19、population in China are peasants.象這樣的名詞有family，army，people，police，class，group，crowd，team等?！癮 group（crowd） of +復(fù)數(shù)名詞”等短語之后的謂語動詞也同樣用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)形式，前者強(qiáng)調(diào)整體，后者強(qiáng)調(diào)各個部分。如：A group of students is going to help them.A group of students are playing football in the field. 2）某些集體名詞（如people，police等）只當(dāng)復(fù)數(shù)形式看待，所以謂語動詞必須用復(fù)數(shù)形式。

20、如：The police are seaching for the thief in the building.The Chinese people are living a happy life today.3）單復(fù)數(shù)同形的名詞作主語時，謂語動詞應(yīng)根據(jù)意義來決定用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：There are some sheep over there. A sheep is eating grass. The other sheep are sleeping.4）名詞所有格之后的名詞被省略的情況一般只指商店、工場、住宅等，作主語時，謂語動詞一般用單數(shù)形式。如：My aunt's is n

21、ot far from here.The barber's is on the other side of the street.常見的省略名詞有the doctor's, the baker's, the barber's, the Chen's, Mr Green's等。但是表示店鋪的名詞一般作集體名詞看待，作主語時，謂語動詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：McDonald's haven't much nice food to eat.5）當(dāng)名詞詞組中心詞為表示度量、距離、金額、時間、書名等 復(fù)數(shù)名詞時，往往可以根據(jù)意義一致的原則，把這

22、些復(fù)數(shù)形式的名詞看作一個整體，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。如：Ten years has passed since I came to shenzhen.Five minutes is enough for us to do the maths problem.The Selected Poems of Du Fu was published again in the 1980s. 6）不定代詞each，every，no所修飾的名詞即使以and或逗號連接成多個并列主語，謂語動詞仍然用單數(shù)形式。如：Each boy and each girl wants to learn English well.7）

23、如果主語由more than one或many a 構(gòu)成的，盡管從意義上看復(fù)數(shù)的內(nèi)容，但它的謂語動詞仍然用單數(shù)形式。如：More than one teacher has bought a computer.Many a student has been studying very hard.但是在“more+復(fù)數(shù)名詞+than one”的結(jié)構(gòu)后面，謂語動詞一般用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：More persons than one agree with you.8）一些由兩部分構(gòu)成的名詞表示衣物或工具作主語時，謂語動詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)形式，如glasses，clothes，trousers，shoes，comp

24、asses，chopsticks，scissors，gloves等。但是如果主語由“a kind of，a pair of，a series of等加名詞”構(gòu)成時，謂語動詞一般用單數(shù)形式。如：Chopsticks are used by Chinese and Japanese.There is a pair of new scissors on the table.A pair of gloves was lost yesterday. 9）this kind of book= a book of this kind（這種書）作主語時，其謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式；詞組this kind of me

25、n=men of this kind=these kind of men（這一類人）（口語），如果this kind of men作主語，它的謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式，而men of this kind或these kind of men作主語時它的謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如果all kinds of 后面接復(fù)數(shù)名詞時，謂語動詞要用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：This kind of men is very cruel.Men of this kind are very cruel.10）在主謂倒裝句中，謂語動詞的數(shù)應(yīng)與其后面的主語保持一致。如：There is a pair of new scissors on t

26、he table.Between the two maps is a large blackboard.11）復(fù)數(shù)形式的單、復(fù)數(shù)同形的名詞作主語時，按意義一致的原則，作單數(shù)意義時，謂語動詞就用單數(shù)形式；反之，謂語動詞就用復(fù)數(shù)形式。這類名詞有means（方法），works（工廠），species（種類），Chinese，Japanese等。如：The (This) paper works was built in the 1990s.That Japanese is very strange.The Chinese people are brave and hard-working.當(dāng)它們前面有

27、a，such a，this，that修飾時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式；有all，such，these，those或the修飾時，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。但是“means”，“no means”，“the means”等詞前沒有以上修飾詞且作主語時，謂語動詞可以用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)形式。另外，work作“工作”解時是不可數(shù)名詞，作“著作”解時是可數(shù)名詞，有單復(fù)數(shù)之分。12）如果名詞詞組中心詞是all，most，half，rest，part等詞語，表示的是復(fù)數(shù)的意義，謂語動詞則用復(fù)數(shù)形式；反之，就用單數(shù)形式。如：All of my students are very diligent.All of the mone

28、y was missing.2、由連接詞連接的名詞作主語1）用and或both.and.連接并列主語，謂語動詞通常用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如Running and swimming are very good sports.Both rubber and plastics never rot.但是，并列主語如果指的是同一個人或概念，謂語動詞則用單數(shù)形式，這時and后面沒有冠詞。如：The teacher and writer is going to give us a talk next week.(the teacher and writer指同一個人)Going to bed early and ge

29、tting up early is a good habit.(指同一個概念)The knife and fork is lying on the table.(the knife and fork指同一個概念)）以or，either.or.，neither.nor.，not only.but also.等連接的名詞或代詞作主語時，謂語動詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)形式應(yīng)根據(jù)就近一致的原則來確定。如：Either you or he knows about Mr White.Neither she nor I am a doctor.Neither I nor you nor anybody else kno

30、ws about that.3、代詞作主語）名詞性物主代詞后面的動詞，既可以用單數(shù)形式，也可以用復(fù)數(shù)形式，這時要取決于它所代替的是單數(shù)形式還是復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：Ours(Our country) is a developing country.Your home is near Vanguard Supermarket, and mine (=my home) is near Carrefour Shopping Center.）such，the same當(dāng)指示代詞時，應(yīng)根據(jù)其所指的內(nèi)容來決定謂語動詞的單、復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：Such was Albert Einstain.He gave her th

31、ree pears. The same (amount of pears) were given to me by him, too.3）關(guān)系代詞who，that，which等在定語從句中作主語時，其謂語動詞的數(shù)應(yīng)與句中先行詞的數(shù)保持一致。如：Those (people/persons/students) who want to see the film please put up your hands.(劃線部分為定語從句)Some of the water that is used by them comes from the underground.(劃線部分為定語從句)4）疑問代詞wh

32、o，what，which作主語時，其謂語動詞可根據(jù)說話人所要表達(dá)的意思來決定使用單、復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：- Who teaches you English? - Mr He does.- Who teach you English? - Mr He and Miss Barnes do.- What is in the box? - There is a cake in it.- Which is his pen? - The one on the book is.- Which are your books? - The ones on the desk are mine.5）不定代詞any，ei

33、ther，neither，none，all，some，more等作主語時，有兩種情況：a、單獨作主語時，視其在文中的意義，動詞可以用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：Now all is changing.All are here. Let's begin our class.either，neither作主語時，謂語動詞通常用單數(shù)形式。b、后面接of 短語時，若of后面的賓語為不可數(shù)名詞時，動詞當(dāng)然用單數(shù)形式；若of 后面的賓語為復(fù)數(shù)形式的名詞或代詞時，動詞可以用單數(shù)形式或復(fù)數(shù)形式。在書面語中，動詞常用單數(shù)形式。如：Do(es) any of you know her telephone numb

34、er?None of us has(have) been to the USA.4、分?jǐn)?shù)、量詞作主語1）某個數(shù)詞單純表示數(shù)字作主語時，其謂語動詞通常用單數(shù)形式，但是當(dāng)基數(shù)詞表示的不是數(shù)值而是數(shù)量時，謂語動詞可用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：The million is a large number.There are fifty students in Class 8. Twenty are boys, the others are girls.英語中算術(shù)式作主語時，若是減法和除法算術(shù)式，謂語動詞通常用單數(shù)形式；若是加法和乘法，謂語動詞有時也可以用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：Five from ten is/leaves

35、five.Twenty divided by five is four.Three and/plus ten is/are thirteen.Four times six is/are twenty-four.在提問加、減、乘、除得數(shù)時，如用疑問詞how much，謂語動詞多用單數(shù)形式；如用疑問詞how many，則謂語動詞多用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如：How much is nine divided by three?How many are four times seven?2）“分?jǐn)?shù)或百分?jǐn)?shù)+of+名詞”構(gòu)成的短語，以及由“some，a lot of，lots of，plenty of，the re

36、st of”構(gòu)成的短語，其名詞可以是可數(shù)名詞或不可數(shù)名詞。作主語時，采取就近一致的原則，其謂語動詞要與短語中of后面的名詞的數(shù)保持一致，這是因為短語中of后面的名詞是中心詞，而名詞前面的量詞是修飾語。如：About three-fourths of the earth's surface is covered with water.Three-fifths of the teachers in their school are women teachers.The population of China is very large, and 80% of the population in China are peasants.A lot of money was left when he died.3）The number of +可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)形式、the amount of +不可數(shù)名詞構(gòu)成的短語作主語時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。如：The number of the students in his class is very large. 但是：A number of students are planting trees on the hill.(a
