英語的名詞主謂一致性

  名詞的主謂一致性是什麼樣子的呢?大家知道嗎?接下來,小編給大家準備了,歡迎大家參考與借鑑。

  

  1. 並列結構作主語時與謂語的一致關係

  a*** 由and連線兩個名詞或者代詞作主語時

  A and B分為以下四種情況:

  i. A、B表示不同的人、物或者觀念的時候,謂語動詞要用複數形式

  Both the parents and the children are here.

  ii. A、B表示同一個人、物或者觀念的時候,謂語動詞要用單數形式

  A journalist and author lives in the sixth flat.

  The turner and fitter is under twenty-five.

  iii. And連線幾個單數主語,主語由each、 every、 no、 many a等詞修飾的時候,謂語動詞要用單數

  Each boy and each girl is invited.

  Every boy and girl is invited.

  No boy and no girl is there now.

  iv. A、B為兩個不可分的東西時,謂語動詞用單數

  A law and rule about protecting environment has been drawn1 up.

  Bread and butter is nutritious2.

  b*** 由or, not only… but also …, either… or …, neither… nor …連線主語時,謂語的人稱和數與靠近的主語一致 ***注意,敘述句和疑問句隨語序不同而不同***

  Either you or I am mad.

  Neither you nor he is naughty.

  Not only the farmer but also his family were friendly to me.

  c*** 當主語後跟有with, along with, together with, besides, except, like, including, as well as, rather than等詞的時候,謂語動詞不受片語的影響,僅和主語保持一致

  All but one were here just now.

  A library with five thousand books is offered to nation as a gift.

  2. 單一主語的情況

  a*** 以複數形式結尾的統稱名詞作主語時,例如physics, maths, economics3, news, means4, works5, 等一般在謂語動詞中用單數形式, 當然,若表示複數的意思則另當別論

  Physics is very important.

  Every means has been tried.

  b*** 當由至少兩個部分組成的工具的名稱,或者衣服的名稱等作主語時,例如trousers/pants, shoes, glasses, scissors6, goods, clothers等,謂語用複數形式;如果這些詞由Pair***suit, piece, series,kind***+ of修飾的時候,謂語動詞要用單數

  My trousers are white and his clothes are black.

  A pair of scissors is lying in that drawer.

  但是在these/those pairs ***…*** of + 複數名詞之後,謂語動詞則用複數形式
