主謂一致語法

1、在英語中，句子的主語和謂語動詞要保持數(shù)上的一致關(guān)系，叫主謂一致主謂一致(subject-verb concord/agreement)。這種關(guān)系通常要遵循三條原則：1.語法形式一致語法形式一致（grammatical concord）2.意義一致意義一致(notional concord）3.鄰近一致鄰近一致(principle of proximity)語法形式一致語法形式一致 句子的主語是單數(shù)形式，謂語動詞要用單數(shù)形式；主語是復(fù)數(shù)形式，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。 例：australia is an extremely rich country 澳大利亞是個非常富裕的國家。 what are ad

2、vertisements made？ 廣告是怎樣制作的？ 注意：anything，everyone，everybody，nobody，anyone，anybody， someone，somebody等復(fù)合不定代詞作語時，謂語動詞一般用單數(shù)形式。意義一致意義一致 即謂語動詞該用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)取決于主語所表達的內(nèi)容在含義是單數(shù)意義還是復(fù)數(shù)意義 例：the chinese are industrious中國人是勤勞的。 the usa is a developed country美國是個發(fā)達國家。 另外，像works（工廠），politics（政治），physics（物理）等詞，雖然形式上是以s結(jié)尾，

3、但表示的意義是單數(shù)，故謂語動詞要用單數(shù)形式。相反，people，police等詞形式上是單數(shù)形式，但表示復(fù)數(shù)意義，謂語動詞要用復(fù)數(shù)形式 鄰近一致鄰近一致 謂語動詞該用單數(shù)還是復(fù)數(shù)形式，取決于最鄰近它的名詞、代詞或其它詞的數(shù)。 另外，neithernor，eitheror，not onlybut also連接兩個名詞或代詞作主語時，或由there，here引導(dǎo)的句子，并且主語不止一個時，謂語動詞通常與鄰近它的那個主語保持數(shù)上一致。 除了上述三個原則外，還有一些特殊的情況需要注意： 1表示時間、重量、數(shù)目、價格、長度、數(shù)學運算等的詞或詞組作主語時，盡管它們是復(fù)數(shù)形式，但如果把這些復(fù)數(shù)形式的詞或詞組

4、看作是一個整體，謂語動詞就用單數(shù)形式。 例：three weeks is a short time三個星期是很短的時間。 2動詞不定式、動名詞、從句或不可數(shù)名詞作主語時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。 it is not easy to master a foreign language要掌握一門外語是不容易的 it is not easy to master a foreign language要掌握一門外語是不容易的。 3由and連接兩個單詞作主語時，要看其表示的意意義義來決定謂語動詞用單數(shù)還是用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如果表示的是一個整體的概念或指的是同一事物，謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式；如果表示的是兩個不同的對象時，
