暑假专题：谓语动词的人称变化——主谓一致

英文中主语和谓语必须在人称、数量方面保持一致，这就是主谓一致。当句子的主语涉及到不同的人称时，谓语动词的第一动词要与主语的人称和单复数保持一致。主谓一致的关键是判断主语是单数还是复数。

例：I raise my arm.我抬起我的手臂。

He raises his arm.他抬起他的手臂。

1. 主谓一致主要体现在主语为第三人称单数时，谓语动词要变成相应的单数形式。动词第三人称单数的变化规则与名词单数变复数相同。

例：He buys a new bicycle.他买了一辆新的自行车。

They buy a new bicycle. 他们买了一辆新的自行车。

2. 谓语和主语的单复数一致，实际上只反映在第一个动词之上。

例：He has seen her in the garden.他在花园中见到了他。

I have seen her in the garden. 我在花园中见到了他。
