一致

一致指句子成分之間或詞語之間在性、數(shù)等方面應(yīng)保持一致。主謂一致指謂語動詞與主語必須在人稱、性、數(shù)上保持一致。一般遵循三條原則：①語法一致原則②意義一致原則③鄰近一致原則簡介Vocabulary&Grammar--Agreement一、語法一致原則語法一致原則：即主語在形式上的單復(fù)數(shù)決定著謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式。e.g.Thenumberoferrorswassurprising.Julia&hertwinsisternaturallylookalotalike.Vocabulary&Grammar--Agreement二、意義一致原則意義一致原則:即主語在意義上的單復(fù)數(shù)要與謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)形式一致。主語形式為單數(shù)，但意義為復(fù)數(shù)，謂語動詞也采取復(fù)數(shù)形式。Thecrowdwerefightingfortheirlives.Threeyearsinastrangelandseemslikealongtime.ThefamilywerewatchingTVlastnight.昨晚全家在看電視。（主語是單數(shù)名詞family，但表復(fù)數(shù)，故用復(fù)數(shù)動詞were）Fiveminutesisenough.五分鐘就夠了。(主語是復(fù)數(shù)名詞minutes，但表單一概念，故用單數(shù)動詞is)Vocabulary&Grammar--Agreement三、鄰近一致原則鄰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。e.g.Onlyoneoutoffivewerepresent.Eitherthestudentsortheteacher___here.(is)EitherTomorhisbrothers

havetoshovelthesnow.不是湯姆就是他的兄弟們必須把雪鏟去。（動詞have不與主語Tom一致，而與其鄰近的復(fù)數(shù)名詞brothers形式上一致）一般來說，不可數(shù)名詞作主語用動詞單數(shù)，可數(shù)名詞復(fù)數(shù)用動詞復(fù)數(shù)。例如：Thereismuchwaterinthethermos.但當(dāng)不可數(shù)名詞前有表示數(shù)量的復(fù)數(shù)名詞時，謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。例如：Tenthousandtonsofcoalwereproducedlastyear.Vocabulary&Grammar--Agreement四、幾種特殊情況1）當(dāng)名詞詞組中心詞為表示時間、距離、度量、價值等復(fù)數(shù)名詞時，如表示抽象概念,

往往根據(jù)意義一致的原則，把這些復(fù)數(shù)名詞看作一個整體，謂語動詞通常采取單數(shù)形式;如表示具體的多少,

強(qiáng)調(diào)復(fù)數(shù)意義時,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。e.g.Tendollarsisnotenough.Threeweeks

wasallowedformakingthenecessarypreparations.用三個星期來做必要的準(zhǔn)備。Tenyuan

isenough.十元夠了。Ten

hours.Vocabulary&Grammar--Agreement2）如果主語由“manya,morethanone+單數(shù)名詞”構(gòu)成，盡管從意義看是復(fù)數(shù)，仍用單數(shù)形式;但如果more

than

one本身作主語,

謂語動詞則用復(fù)數(shù)形式。由morethan…of作主語時，動詞應(yīng)與其后的名詞或代詞保持一致。Manyastudenthaspassedtheexam.More

than

one

question

has

been

discussed.Manyapersonhasreadthenovel.許多人都讀過這本書。Morethan60percentofthestudentsarefromthecity.百分之六十多的學(xué)生都來自這個城市。Vocabulary&Grammar--Agreement3）連詞or,either…or…,

neither…nor…,

not

only…but

also…連接兩個名詞或代詞作主語時,謂語動詞必須和靠它較近的一個名詞或代詞取得一致。

any

distress.Not

only

he

but

also

his

family

match.

Vocabulary&Grammar--Agreement4）當(dāng)主語包含and時,如果主語表示一個單一概念，即指同一人或同一物時，謂語動詞用單數(shù)，and此時連接的兩個詞前只有一個冠詞。否則用復(fù)數(shù)動詞。Readingandwritingareveryimportant.

Theironandsteelindustryisveryimportanttoourlife.

TheLeaguesecretaryandmonitor___askedtomakeaspeechatthemeeting.

A.isB.wasC.areD.were

答案B.注：先從時態(tài)上考慮。這是過去發(fā)生的事情應(yīng)用過去時，先排除A，C。本題易誤選D，因為TheLeaguesecretaryandmonitor好象是兩個人，但仔細(xì)辨別，monitor前沒有the，在英語中，當(dāng)一人兼數(shù)職時只在第一個職務(wù)前加定冠詞。后面的職務(wù)用and相連。這樣本題主語為一個人，所以應(yīng)選B。Vocabulary&Grammar--Agreement5）當(dāng)主語后面跟有with,togetherwith,like,except,but,besides,in

addition

to,accompanied

by,

rather

than,nolessthan,aswellas等詞引起的短語時，謂語動詞與前面的主語一致。

apen,aknifeandseveralbooksonthedesk.桌上有一支筆、一把小刀和幾本書。Thereare

twentyboy-studentsandtwenty-threegirl-studentsintheclass.班上有二十個男孩，二十三個女孩。Vocabulary&Grammar--Agreement7）某些學(xué)科名稱和疾病名稱雖是復(fù)數(shù)形式,

family,audience,crew,crowd,couple,class,company,committee,group,

staff,

team,

public,

cabinet,

band等詞后用復(fù)數(shù)形式時，意為這個集體中的各個成員，用單數(shù)時表示該個集體。但集合名詞people,police,cattle,poultry等在任何情況下都用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
