主谓一致导学案+练习题

主谓一致的三条原则

1）语法一致原则。主语是单数，谓语动词用单数形式；主语是复数，谓语动词用复数形式。

e.g. My friend has no intention of going shopping with me. My friends have no intention of going shopping with me.

2) 意义一致原则。主语和谓语的一致不是由主语的语法形式来决定，而是由主语所表达的意义决定。

e.g. The class are busying writing English passages.

The United States is a developed country which has advanced science and technology.

带有复数词尾的学科名称、国家等在意义上是表示单数概念，用单数动词。 3）就近原则。谓语动词的单、复数取决于最靠近它的主语。由either„or, neither„ nor, not only„ but also连接或由here, there等引导的句子，谓语动词遵循这一原则。

e.g. Neither my friends nor I was able to persuade him to accept our advice. Either he or she has broken the window, for there is no one else there. There is a teacher and fifty students in the classroom.

【考点聚集】

1、以单数名词或代词、动词不定式短语作主语时，谓语动词要用单数；主语为复数时，谓语用复数。

2、由and或both„ and连接的并列成分作主语时，谓语动词用复数。

3、由and连接的并列单数主语之前如果分别由each、every、no修饰时，其谓语动词要用单数形式。

e.g. In our country every boy and every girl has the right to receive education.

4、主语是单数时，尽管后面跟有but，except, besides, with等引导的介词短语时，谓语动词与前面的主语一致。

e.g. The woman with two children is my aunt.

5、一些只有复数形式的名词，如people, police, cattle, clothes等作主语时，谓语动词要用复数。

6、集体名词family, class, team, group等看作整体时，谓语动词用单数；看作每一个成员时， 谓语动词用复数。

7、当表示国家、城市、人名、书名、报纸、杂志，及组织机构等的专有名词做主语时，作为整体，谓语动词用单数形式。 8、“the+形容词”（如the poor, the rich, the young, the old, the dead, the sick, the brave等）作主语，谓语动词往往用复数。

9、表时间、距离、价格、度量衡等的名词作主语时，谓语动词通常用单数。 10、不定代词由all, most, more, some, any, none作主语时，也要依这些代词表示的意义来决定谓语动词的单复数形式。如果代词代表复数可数名词，谓语动词用复数；如果代词代表单数可数名词或不可数名词，谓语动词用单数。 All of the work has been finished. All of the people have gone.

11、疑问代词作主语时，其谓语动词也有两种情况：主语表示复数意义，谓语动

词用复数； 主语表示单数意义，则谓语动词用复数。 Who is your brother?

Who are League members?

12、分数（百分数）+of+名词做主语时，谓语动词的单复数取决于of后面的名词的数。但要注意population一词，用作整体时，谓语动词用单数，用其部分做主语时，谓语动词形式用复数。 Part of the work has been done by us. Ten percent of the apples were bad.

The population of China is 13.6 billion and 70% of the population are peasants. 13、由连词not„but, or, either„or, neither„ nor, not only„but also等连接的并列主语，如果一个是单数，一个是复数，则谓语动词按就近一致原则，与最靠近它的主语一致。

14、There be句型、以here开头的句子谓语动词和靠近的主语一致。

15、a number of后面加复数名词或代词， 其动词用复数形式；但the number of后面加复数名词或代词时，其谓语用单数。 16、“one or two+复数名词”做主语，谓语动词用复数。 17、many a+单数名词（许多„„）；more than one+单数名词（不止一„„）作主语，尽管意思是复数，但谓语动词还是用单数。注意：“more than+基数词+复数名词”结构或“more+复数名词+than one”作主语时，谓语用复数。 Many a ship has been damaged in the storm.
