语法一致原则是指句子的主语和谓语在语法形式上一致,即通常情况下,谓语动词的单复数形式依主语的单复数形式而定, 主语为单数形式时谓语动词用单数形式, 主语为复数形式时谓语动词也用复数形式。具体内容请看下文。
1. 以单数名词或代词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式;主语为复数时,谓语动词用复数形式。如:
his father is working on the farm. /to study english well is not easy. /what he said is very important for us all.
/the children were in the classroom two hours ago. /reading in the sun is bad for your eyes.
注意:由what引导的主语从句,后面的谓语动词多数情况用单数形式,但若表语是复数或what从句是一个带有复数意义的并列结构时,主句的谓语动词用复数形式。如:
what i bought were three english books. /what i say and do is (are) helpful to you.
2. 由连接词and或both ……and连接起来的合成主语后面,要用复数形式的谓语动词。如:
lucy and lily are twins. /she and i are classmates. /the boy and the girl were surprised when they heard the news.
/both she and he are young pioneers.
注意:(1)若and所连接的两个词是指同一个人或物时,它后面的谓语动词就应用单数形式。如:
the writer and artist has come. (2)由and连接的并列单数主语前如果分别有no, each, every more than a (an) ,many a (an)修饰时,其谓语动词要用单数形式。如:
every student and every teacher was in the room. /no boy and no girl likes it.
3. 主语为单数名词或代词,尽管后面跟有with, together with, except, but, like, as well as, rather than, more than, no less than, besides, including等引起的短语,谓语动词仍用单数形式;若主语为复数,谓语用复数形式。如:
mr. green, together with his wife and children, has come to china. /nobody but jim and mike was on the playground.
/she, like you and tom, is very tall.
4. either, neither, each, every 或no +单数名词和由some, any, no, every构成的复合不定代词,都作单数看待。如:
each of us has a new book. /everything around us is matter.
注意:(1)在口语中当either或neither后跟有“of+复数名词(或代词)”作主语时,其谓语动词也可用复数。如:
neither of the texts is (are) interesting. (2)若none of后面的名词是不可数名词,它的谓语动词就要用单数;若它后面的名词是复数,它的谓语动词用单数或复数都可以。如:
none of us has (h**e) been to america.
5. 在定语从句时,关系代词that, who, which等作主语时,其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。如:
he is one of my friends who are working hard. /he is the only one of my friends who is working hard.
6. 如果集体名词指的是整个集体,它的谓语动词用单数;如果它指集体的成员,其谓语动词就用复数形式。这些词有family, class, crowd, committee, population, audience等。
如:class four is on the third floor. /class four are unable to agree upon a monitor.
注意:people, police, cattle等名词一般都用作复数。如:the police are looking for the lost child.
7. 由“a lot of, lots of, plenty of, the rest of, the majority of + 名词”构成的短语以及由“分数或百分数+名词”构成的短语作主语,其谓语动词的数要根据短语中后面名词的数而定。如:
there are a lot of people in the classroom. /the rest of the lecture is wonderful. /50% of the students in our class are girls.
注意:a number of“许多”,作定语修饰复数名词,谓语用复数;the number of“……的数量”,主语是number,谓语用单数。
8. 在倒装句中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如:
there comes the bus. /on the wall are many pictures. /such is the result.
/such are the facts.
