Subject-Verb Agreement: Understanding the Basics
Subject-verb agreement is a fundamental concept in English grammar. It refers to the correspondence between the subject and the verb in a sentence. In simple terms, the verb must agree with the subject in number and person.
For singular subjects, we use singular verbs. For example, 'The cat is sleeping.' Here, 'cat' is a singular subject and 'is sleeping' is a singular verb.
For plural subjects, we use plural verbs. 'The cats are sleeping.' In this case, 'cats' is a plural subject and 'are sleeping' is a plural verb.
There are some cases where determining the subject can be a bit tricky. For instance, when there are prepositional phrases between the subject and the verb, we need to look at the noun before the preposition to determine the subject. 'The book on the table is mine.' The subject here is 'book', not 'table'.
Another important aspect of subject-verb agreement is with collective nouns. Some collective nouns can be treated as singular or plural depending on the context. 'The team is playing well.' Here, 'team' is considered a singular entity. But 'The team are arguing among themselves.'
In this case, 'team' is seen as a group of individuals.

In English grammar, subject-verb agreement is a crucial concept. It means that the verb in a sentence must agree with its subject in number. This rule applies even in complex sentences. Consider the following examples. “The group of students are discussing the project.” Here, the correct form should be “The group of students is discussing the project.”
Although ‘students’ is plural, the subject is ‘group’, which is singular. Another example is “The team of players have won the championship.” The proper form is “The team of players has won the championship.” Once again, the subject is ‘team’, which is singular.
Now let’s look at a more complex sentence. “Neither the teacher nor the students __ happy with the new schedule.” In this case, the verb should agree with the nearest subject. Since ‘students’ is plural and closer to the verb, the correct form is “Neither the teacher nor the students are happy with the new schedule.”
Subject-verb agreement can also be tricky when there are intervening phrases. For instance, “The book, along with several other novels, __ on the shelf.” Here, the subject is ‘book’, which is singular, so the correct verb form is “The book, along with several other novels, is on the shelf.”>
6. “The group of musicians __ playing a beautiful symphony.”
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：A。

A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：A。

解析：‘cat’是单数且离动词更近，根据就近原则，谓语动词用单数形式。

句子描述的场景不确定具体时间，一般现在时即可，所以选A。

8. “The collection of stamps __ very valuable.”
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：A。

解析：主语是‘collection’，是单数，谓语动词用单数形式。

句子没有明确的时间标志，用一般现在时，所以选A。

9. “Either the apples or the orange __ rotten.”
A. is
B. are
C. was

Subject-Verb Agreement can sometimes be tricky, especially when there are special cases. One of the common challenges is with collective nouns. For example, when we say “the team is playing well”, we are treating the team as a single unit. However, “the team are arguing among themselves” shows that we can also view a collective noun as a group of individuals. Another area of confusion is with expressions like “a number of” and “the number of”. “A number of students are absent today” because “a number of” refers to several individuals. But “the number of students in the class is twenty” as “the number of” emphasizes a specific quantity. Additionally, when there are phrases or clauses between the subject and the verb, it can be difficult to determine agreement. For instance, “The book, along with several others, ___ on the shelf.” Here, we need to look at the
main subject “The book” and not be distracted by “along with several others”.
11. “The committee ___ divided on the issue.”
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：B。

解析：committee 在这里被看作是一群人，所以谓语动词用复数形式，且句子是一般现在时。

12. “A large number of people ___ attending the concert.”
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：B。

解析：“a large number of”表示许多，后面跟可数名词复数，谓语动词用复数形式，且句子是现在进行时的陈述句。

13. “The number of students who passed the exam ___ not very high.”
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：A。

解析：“the number of”强调数量，谓语动词用单数形式，
且句子是一般现在时。

14. “The books, together with the pen, ___ on the table.”
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：B。

解析：books 是主语，together with the pen 是插入语，不影响谓语动词的形式，所以谓语动词用复数形式，且句子是一般现在时。

15. “The flock of birds ___ flying south.”
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：A。

解析：flock 是集合名词，这里被看作一个整体，谓语动词用单数形式，且句子是现在进行时。

Subject-Verb Agreement in Different Genres
Subject-verb agreement is a fundamental aspect of English grammar. It ensures that the subject and verb in a sentence are in harmony. This principle holds true across various literary genres and forms of
communication.
In narrative texts, for example, we might find sentences like "The boy and his dog __1__ playing in the park." Here, the correct verb form is "are" because the subject is a compound subject consisting of "the boy and his dog." However, if the sentence were "The boy with his dog __2__ playing in the park," the verb would be "is" as the subject is "the boy" and "with his dog" is a prepositional phrase.
In scientific writing, precision is crucial. Consider the sentence "The data __3__ conclusive." Here, the verb should be "is" as "data" is often considered a singular noun in scientific contexts. But in everyday language, we might say "The data __4__ all over the place," where "are" would be more appropriate as we are thinking of individual pieces of data.
In poetry, the rules of subject-verb agreement can sometimes be bent for artistic effect. For instance, "The stars in the sky __5__ like diamonds." This sentence might use "seem" instead of "seems" for a more lyrical flow.
Understanding subject-verb agreement in different genres not only helps us communicate more effectively but also enhances our appreciation of the English language in all its forms.
16. In the sentence "The boy and his dog __1__ playing in the park.", the correct verb form is ___.
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：B。

解析：因为主语是“The boy and his dog”，是复合主语，所以谓语动词用复数形式“are”。

17. In the sentence "The boy with his dog __2__ playing in the park.", the correct verb form is ___.
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：A。

解析：这里主语是“The boy”，“with his dog”是介词短语，所以谓语动词用单数形式“is”。

18. In scientific writing, if we say "The data __3__ conclusive.", the correct verb form is ___.
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：A。

解析：在科学写作中，“data”通常被视为单数名词，所以用“is”。

19. In everyday language, when we say "The data __4__ all over the place.", the correct verb form is ___.
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
答案：B。

解析：在日常语言中，我们把“data”看作是很多个体的数据，所以用“are”。

20. In the sentence "The stars in the sky __5__ like diamonds.", the correct verb form is ___.
A. seem
B. seems
C. seemed
D. seeming
答案：A。

解析：主语是“The stars”，是复数形式，所以谓语动词用“seem”。

Subject-Verb Agreement: Mastering the Art of Correct Sentence Construction
Subject-verb agreement is a fundamental aspect of English grammar. It ensures that the subject and verb in a sentence are in harmony. Understanding this concept is crucial for constructing grammatically correct sentences.
In a simple sentence, when the subject is singular, the verb must also be singular. For example, 'The cat runs.' Here, 'cat' is a singular subject and 'runs' is a singular verb. On the other hand, when the subject is plural, the verb should be plural. As in, 'The cats run.'
However, things can get more complicated when dealing with complex sentences. For instance, when there are multiple subjects joined by 'and', the verb is usually plural. But if the subjects form a single unit or are considered as one entity, the verb can be singular. For example, 'Bread and butter is my favorite breakfast.' Here, 'bread and butter' is considered as one entity, so the verb 'is' is singular.
Another aspect to consider is the use of indefinite pronouns. Some indefinite pronouns are always singular and take a singular verb. Examples include 'each', 'every', 'anyone', and 'nobody'. For instance, 'Everyone is responsible for their own actions.' Although 'everyone' is singular, in modern usage, 'their' is often used instead of 'his or her' for gender-neutral language.
Subject-verb agreement also applies to collective nouns. Depending on the context, collective nouns can take either a singular or plural verb. For example, 'The team is playing well.' Here, the team is considered as a single unit, so the verb 'is' is singular. But in a sentence like 'The team are arguing among themselves.', the members of the team are being referred to individually, so the verb 'are' is plural.
Now, let's look at some examples to further understand subject-verb agreement. 'The number of students in the class is increasing.' In this sentence, 'the number' is the subject and it is singular, so the verb 'is' is used. However, in 'A number of students are absent today.', 'a number of students' is a plural subject, so the verb 'are' is used.
In conclusion, mastering subject-verb agreement is essential for effective communication in English. It requires careful attention to the subject of a sentence and choosing the correct verb form to ensure grammatical accuracy.

中文解析：当“team”作为一个整体来看时，谓语动词用单数形式，这里说这个队本赛季表现非常好，是把team 看作一个整体，所以用is。

Subject-Verb Agreement plays a crucial role in English language proficiency, especially in college entrance examinations like the Gaokao. Understanding and applying the rules of subject-verb agreement correctly is essential for scoring well in the English section.
In a sentence, the verb must agree with the subject in number and person. Singular subjects take singular verbs, while plural subjects take plural verbs. For example, 'The dog barks.' Here, 'dog' is a singular subject and 'barks' is a singular verb. On the other hand, 'The dogs bark.' In this case, 'dogs' is a plural subject and 'bark' is a plural verb.
However, there are many situations where determining the correct subject-verb agreement can be challenging. For instance, when there are intervening phrases between the subject and the verb, or when the subject is a collective noun. Collective nouns can be singular or plural depending on the context. For example, 'The team is playing well.' Here, 'team' is considered a singular entity. But in 'The team are divided on the issue.',
'team' is seen as a group of individuals and is therefore plural.
Another area of difficulty is with indefinite pronouns. Some indefinite pronouns are always singular (e.g., everyone, nobody), while others can be singular or plural depending on the context (e.g., some, any).
Mastering subject-verb agreement not only helps in avoiding grammatical errors but also makes the writing more clear and coherent. It shows a good command of the language and can enhance the overall impression on the examiners.
