主谓一致主要有以下三个原则：
1、语法一致原则（5种情况）
2、意义一致原则（10种情况）
3、就近原则
语法一致原则
1．and连接不同的人或事时作主语时,谓语动词用复数；但如果连接的名词指的是同一人或物, 或同一概念时, 谓语要用单数。

The singer and dancer____ going to give us a performance. The knife and fork ____on the table.
2. 不定式, 动词ing形式或主语从句作主语时,谓语动词用单数。

What he is doing seems very important. Collecting stamps is his hobby.
3. 定语从句的关系代词who,
which, that在从句中作主语时，
要与先行词的人称和数保持一
致。

Those who enjoy singing may
join us.
Tom, who is your friend,
should help you.
I, who am a teacher, lack
humor.
4. with, along with, together with,
as well as, besides, like, without,
except, but, including 如果句子
中有这些连接词和主语连用,谓
语动词的数随主语的变化而变
化。

with his students, is planting trees
in the street.
5. many a, more than one与单数
名词组成的短语, 谓语用单数。

意义一致原则
1. 不定代词all, more, some, any, none 作主语,谓语动词视情况而
定。

All of the apples ____rotten. All of the apple ____rotten. 2. the rest of; half of; part of; the majority of 等以及分数、百分比在句子中加名词作主语的时候,谓语动词与of 后面的名词保持一致。

Half
of
the
students
_____finished theircomposition. Half of the water ____(pollute). 3. 集合名词作主语，强调整体谓语动词用单数；指全体人员时, 动词则用复数。

这一类常见的集合名词有public, family, class, crowd, audience, team, government, group 。

family
____already________(move)to France.His
family
____all
music lovers.
4. 某些名词如people, police, cattle 等,形式上是单数, 但意义上是复数, 谓语动词应用
复数。

people 指“民族”时是例外。

cattle____________eating
grass on the hill.
5. 不定代词作主语, 谓语动词要用单数，如someone ,somebody,
something, anybody…等
Someone is asking for you. 6. 某些名词如clothes, trousers, shoes, glasses,pants,shorts 等, 通常只用其复数形式, 但当它们被 a pair of 修饰时, 谓语动词用单数。

Here _____ a new pair of shoes for you.
7． 某些名词以
s 结尾如maths, politics,
physics,
news,
plastics 等，谓语动词应用单
数。

过去分词)”结构担任时,谓语通常用复数;这类词有: the brave, the poor, the rich, the blind, the young, the old, the
sick, the dead等
就近原则
either ... or; neither ... nor; not only ... but also, whether...or在句子中连接主语的时候或者在there be句型中,谓语动词要和就近的主语保持一致。

应该注意的几个问题:

例如:
Quantities of food (nuts)___________ on the table.

例如：One and a half bananas is left on the table.
4.书刊名、时间、距离、价格、度量衡等的复数名词作主语时, 谓语动词常用单数。
