英语中的十大“一致”

英语中的十大“一致”

英语中的十大“一致”作者:刘鹏来源:《中学生英语·中考指导版》2014年第08期英语中存在着多种“一致”现象,这是其区别于汉语的显著特点之一。

它广泛出现在单项选择、完形填空、短文改错和书面表达等题型中。

英语中“一致”问题主要体现在以下十点:一、主谓一致这是最普遍最基本的一致。

主要有三个原则:1. 语法一致语法一致指主语在数和人称上与谓语动词、助动词在语法上保持一致。

在这方面常犯的错误是第三人称单数与谓语不一致。

所以应保持人称与数的一致。

例如:a. There are some differences between the two words.b. The boy goes to school by bike every day.c. He has an hour for sports after classes every afternoon.d. The teacher, with 6 girls and 8 boys of her class, ______ visiting a museum when the earthquake struck.A. wasB. wereC. had beenD. would be该题答案为A。

2. 概念一致概念一致指主语的数和谓语动词、助动词在概念上保持一致。

这种情况下只有吃透词的含义,弄清语境,才能把握好主语的数。

例如:a. My family is a happy one.(family 指“家庭”时,为单数。

)b. My family are watching TV now.(family指“家庭成员”时,为复数。

)c. Every possible means has been tried.(means受every制约,为单数。

)d. All means have been tried.(means受all制约,为复数。

)涉及概念一致的名词主要有以下几种:(1)形复意单,为单数:the United States, news,physics, maths等。

英语主谓一致

英语主谓一致

英语主谓一致“一致”是指句子成分之间或词语之间在语法形式上的协调关系。

主谓一致指主语和谓语动词之间在“人称”和“数”的方面的一致关系。

一、指导原则1、语法一致主语和谓语动词之间的一致关系主要表现在“数”的形式上,即用作主语的名词词组中心词和谓语动词在单、复数形式上的一致。

如果名词中心词是复数,动词就该用复数形式;如果名词中心词不是复数,而是单数名词或不可数名词,动词便用单数形式。

这种一致关系叫做“语法一致”。

例如:Both boys have their own merits(长处,优点).Few students are really lazy.Many people want to go.Two girls were standing on the corner.Each boy has his own book.Every girl comes on time.Either answer is correct.Much effort is wasted.2、意义一致和就近原则有时,主语和谓语动词的一致关系并非取决于语法上的单、复数形式,而是取决于主语的单、复数意义:比如有时主语在语法形式上并非复数,但有复数意义,随后的动词便用复数;反之,主语在语法形式上时复数,而在意义上可视为单数,随后的动词也用单数。

这种一致关系叫做意义一致。

例如:The government have asked the country to decide by a vote(选举).Fifteen miles seems like a long walk to me.Fifty-six dollars was stolen from the cash register(现金出纳机).有时,谓语动词的单、复数形式决定于最靠近它的词语(主要指名词)的单、复数形式,这种一致关系所依据的原则叫做“就近原则”。

例如:Either my brothers or my father is coming.Only one out of five were present.No one except his own supporters agree with him.Neither Julia nor I am going.二、以-s结尾的名词作主语的主谓一致问题1、以–s 结尾的疾病名称和游戏名称英语中有一些疾病名称是以-s结尾的,如arthritis(关节炎),bronchitis(支气管炎),rickets(软骨病),mumps(腮腺炎), diabetes(糖尿病)等,这类名词通常作单数用。

英语中主谓一致解析

英语中主谓一致解析

英语中主谓一致解析主谓一致(Subject- Verb Agreement),指”人称”和”数方面的一致关系.如: He is going abroad. They are playing football.可分为:语法一致,内容一致,就近一致.(一)语法一致原则:即主语为单数,谓语用单数,主语为复数,谓语也用复数. 以下为注意事项:1. 单数主语即使后面带有with ,along with,together with,like(象),but (除了),except,besides,as well as,no less than,rather than(而不是),including,in addition to 引导的短语,谓语动词仍用单数.如: Air as well as water is matter. 空气和水都是物质.No one except two servants was late for the dinner.除了两个仆人外,没有一个人迟来用餐。

2. 用and连接的并列主语,如果主语是同一个人,同一事,同一概念,谓语动词用单数,否则用复数. 如:The poet and writer has come. 那位诗人兼作家来了.(一个人)A hammer and a saw are useful tools. 锤子和锯都是有用的工具. (两样物)用and连接的成对名词习惯上被看成是一个整体,如:bread and butter(黄油抹面包),knife and fork(刀叉)等作主语时,谓语动词用单数。

3. 不定式(短语),动名词(短语),或从句作主语时,谓语动词用单数. 如:Serving the people is my great happiness.为人民服务是我最大的幸福.When we’ll go out for an outing has been decided.我们什么时候出去郊游已决定了。

英语语法---主谓一致

英语语法---主谓一致

第一讲主谓一致“一致”(Concord 或Agreement)是指句子成分之间词语之间在语法形式上的协调关系。

主要有主语与动词的一致,主语与补语的一致,限定词与名词中心词的一致,人称代词与并列和非并列先行词的一致,名词与名词或代词的一致。

“主谓一致”是指主语和谓语动词之间在人称和数的方面的一致关系,这又叫做“主——动一致”(Subject ——verb Concord)。

1. 主谓一致三原则主语和随后的动词(词组),即谓语动词之间的一致关系常为三种不同的原则所支配,即语法一致原则(Grammar Concord),意义一致原则(Notional Concord)和就近原则(Principle of Proximity)。

1.1 语法一致指作主语的名词中心词是复数,动词就用复数形式;如果名词中心词是单数名词或不可数名词,动词就用单数形式。

例如:Both boys have their own merits.In my heart are peace and goodwill.The elevator works very well.Much effort is wasted.1.2 意义∕概念一直指主语和动词的一致关系并非取决于语法上的单、复数形式,而是取决于主语的单、复数意义。

有时主语在语法形式上并非复数,但有复数意义,随后的动词就用复数;主语在语法形式上是复数,而在意义上可视为单数,随后的动词用单数。

例如:The jury has asked more time.The jury are unable to agree.Fifty minutes isn’t enough time to finish this test.“ Senior citizens” means people over sixty.1.3 就近原则指谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语的单、复数形式,而不是与充当主语的名词短语中心词相一致。

英语中的主谓一致情况

高三语法复习一主谓一致主谓一致必背重点主谓一致指:语法形式上要一致,即用作主语的名词中心词和谓语动词在单、复数形式上一致。

意义上要一致,即主语和谓语的一致关系取决于主语的单、复数意义。

就近原则:即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语,1,"more than one +名词"作主语时,谓语动词常用单数.例如:More than one teacher gets the flowers. 不止一个教师得到了花.2, "many a +名词"作主语时,从意义上看是复数,但谓语动词常用单数.例如: Many a student has been sent to plant trees. 很多学生被派去植树.3,"half of, the rest of, most of, all of及百分数或分数+of 等后接名词"作主语时,谓语动词形式根据of后的名词而定.例如:Three fourths of the surface of the earth is covered with water.地球表面四分之三为水所覆盖.4,all指人时,动词用复数;all指物时,动词用单数.例如:All is right. (一切顺利.)All are present.

高一英语“主谓一致”用法归纳一、基本概念所谓一致关系(Agreement)就是在英语句子中各个成分之间必须在人称、数、性等方面要保持一定的语法关系。

在英语中最主要的一致关系是主语与谓语动词之间的一致。

在判断一个句子主语、谓语是否一致时,要遵循下列三个原则:语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近一致原则。

一般来说,主语的单复数形式决定着谓语动词需要采用的单复数形式。

比较:The student studies very hard.这个学生学习非常努力。

The students study very hard.这些学生学习非常努力。

主谓一致的原则说起来简单,但在实际使用中遇到的情况要复杂很多。

在处理主谓一致的问题时,可依据上面提到的三个原则。

“语法一致”也就是平常说的从语法形式上取得一致,即主语为单数形式,谓语动词亦用单数形式。

“意义一致”就是从意义着眼来处理主谓语一致问题。

有时,主语形式为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词依意义而定,也采用复数形式。

“就近原则”是指谓语动词的人称和数往往和其最近的主语保持一致。

二、基本用法1.集合名词与谓语动词的一致集合名词作主语,如果表示整体概念,谓语动词用单数形式;如果强调其成员,则用复数形式。

常用的集合名词有:army,audience,class,club,committee,company,couple,crowd,family,flock,group,government,j-ury, majority,minority,organization,party,personnel,publ-ic,staff,team,union等。

The football team are discussing the problem with the coach now.足球队员们现在正在与教练讨论这个问题。

The police have caught the criminal.警察已经逮捕了那个罪犯。

Nobody , not even the teacher , were listening .但Either , none , any , 和neither 后面如果有“of + 复数名词或代词”,动词可以用复数,也可以用单数;在正式文体中,单数形式更常用;例如:Does any of you know his address .None of them has have seen the film .We are expecting guests from the country , but none of them has arrived .8〉、当主语后跟有as well as , as much as , no less than , along with , with ,like , rather than ,togeter with , but , except , besidees , including , in addition to等引导的词组时,其谓语动词的单、复数按主语中心词的单、复数而定;例如:The teacher as well as the students was excited .An iren and steel works , with some satellite factories , is to be built here .He , like you and Xiao Li is very clever .Nobody but Smith and John was in the laboratory yesterday .Every picture except these two has been sold .No one , besides Helen , Joan , Mary , and Alice ,is willing to help me .The factory , including its machines , was burnt last night .His sister no less than you is wrong .The father , rather than the brothers , is responsible for the accident .但以下两例除外,把它们可以看做受紧邻关系影响;No one except his own supporters agree . 张道真语法第426页GCE,One man with his wife , both looking very anxious , were pleading with a guard to let them through .

which的先行词是靠近它的复数名词而不是one,因此,从句中的动词应该是复数形式;例如:This is one of the most interesting questiongs that have been asked .但是,但one之前有the only 等修饰语时,关系代词的先行词是one,而不是靠近它的复数名词,因此从句的动词应用单数形式;例如:She was the only

buildings are easy to get to.Three-fifths of the workers here are women.Lots of damage was caused by fire.Plenty of English books are on the shelf.A large quantity of beer was sold.A quantity of

英语主谓一致现象分析

英语主谓一致现象分析

英语主谓一致现象分析陈传光供稿一、语法一致原则语法一致的原则是指主语和谓语从语法形式上取得一致:主语是单数形式,谓语也采取单数形式;主语是复数形式,则谓语亦采取复数形式。

例如:He often helps me learn English.(他经常帮我学英语。

)My friends often help me learn English.(我的朋友们经常帮我学英语。

)但主语和谓语从语法形式上取得一致的问题远不止上述的那么简单,有许多方面的情况需要去具体地对待:1. 不定式、动名词作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。

例如:To teach is to learn.(教学相长。

);Eating vegetables is good foryou.(吃蔬菜对你好。

)2. 不定代词either 、neither 、each one 、the other 、another 、anybody 、anyone 、anything 、someone 、somebody 、something 、everyone 、everybody 、everything 、nobody 、no one 、nothing 等在句中作主语时,谓语动词用单数。

例如:Everyone is ready for the sports meeting.(大家都为运动会做好准备了。

);Neither of my sisters likes sports.(我的姐妹中没有人喜欢运动。

)【例1】Each of the club members ________ ready to help those who were in trouble.A. isB. areC. wasD. were【解析】“each of +名词”作主语时,谓语动词用单数;由于后面句子“who were in trouble ”中的谓语用一般过去时态,因此前面空格上也要用一般过去时。
