高考英语近三年真题语法精讲精练专题10数词和主谓一致

高考英语近三年真题语法精讲精练专题10数词和主谓一致

语法专题十 数词和主谓一致一、数词数词分为两种:基数词(表示数目)和序数词(表示顺序)。

考点一 dozen与score的用法1.dozen (一打,十二),score (二十)与具体数词或与many,several 等连用时,后不加s,所修饰的名词前常省去of。

如:two dozen eggs 两打鸡蛋,many dozen pencils好多打铅笔;dozen,score 的复数形式后接of时,表示“许多”,是概数。

如:dozens of eggs几十个鸡蛋,scores of pencils几十支铅笔。

此外,有“数词+score +of+名词”这种用法。

如:two score of eggs 40个鸡蛋,three score of people 60个人。

2.当所修饰的名词之前有限定词these,those,my,your等或是修饰人称代词宾格them,us,you时,这时需要加of。

如:two dozen of these pens,three score of them。

考点二 分数的表达法分子用基数词,分母用序数词,若分子大于1,则分母用复数。

如:one­fourth(a quarter) 1/4two­fifths 2/5Two­thirds of the money was spent on food.考点三 年龄的表达法表示某人的确切年龄,用“基数词+years old”或者“at the age of+基数词”,也可直接用基数词;表示某人几十多岁时,用“in one's+逢十的基数词的复数(如tens,twenties,thirties等)”来表达。

She is still in her twenties.她才二十几岁。

考点四 年代的表达法表示“几十年代”时,在阿拉伯数字后加s或's。

My grandpa was born in 1910's.二、主谓一致谓语动词的数必须和主语的人称和数保持一致,这就叫主谓一致。

2)当句子为否定句时,要根据主语的人称来决定使用相应的助动词:当主语为“三单”时,要使用does;当主语为“非三单”时,用助动词原形do。

例如把下列句子变否定句:Kangkanglikesmath.----Kangkangdoesn'tlikemath.
Theylikesports.------Theydon'tlikesports.
3)当句子变疑问句时,同样要根据句子的主语来决定在句首使用Do或Does.例如下列句子变问句:

dozens of 英文解释

dozens of 英文解释

DOZENSDozens refer to a quantity of twelve or multiples of twelve. In various contexts, the term “dozens” is used to identify a significant number or a specific grouping of items or entities. It could refer to a set of twelve similar objects or actions. Let’s explore some examples and implications of the term “dozens.”1.Baking: In baking, the concept of dozens is often encountered. Recipesmight call for ingredients to be measured in dozens, such as a dozen eggs or a dozen cookies. Furthermore, baking trays are typically designed to fit a dozen standard-sized cupcakes or muffins.2.Shopping: When purchasing items in bulk, particularly perishablegoods, they are sometimes packaged and sold in dozens. This practice iscommonly seen in the sale of eggs, where cartons of twelve are the standardunit. Similarly, baked goods like bagels or donuts are often sold and packaged in dozens.3.Quantities: Dozens can be used to indicate an approximate quantitywhile remaining somewhat ambiguous. For example, when estimating acrowd’s size, one might say that there were dozens of people present. Itindicates more than just a few individuals without specifying the exact number.4.Mathematical Operations: In mathematical operations, dozens canprovide more variety and ease of calculation. For instance, a baker may have a recipe that needs to be scaled up or down, but maintaining measurements in dozens can simplify the adjustment process. Similarly, rounding off to thenearest dozen can be useful in certain scenarios.5.Expressing Abundance: Using dozens can imply an abundance ofsomething. For instance, saying “there are dozens of options” suggests a wide range of choices or possibilities. It emphasizes the ample availability or variety of a particular item or situation.6.Crafts and DIY: In craft projects or do-it-yourself activities, dozens canrepresent the number of supplies needed. Whethe r it’s a dozen buttons, a dozen beads, or a dozen paintbrushes, this quantity provides a convenient way tomeasure and plan for materials.7.Counting and Grouping: The concept of dozens can aid in counting orforming groups. When organizing items, packing boxes, or distributing items, using dozens can simplify the process. For example, counting items in bundles of twelve can make it easier when organizing large quantities.8.Idiom: The phrase “a dime a dozen” is a commonly used idiom. Itmeans that something is abundant, cheap, or easily obtained. The phrasesuggests that the value or rarity of the item in question is low due to itswidespread availability.In conclusion, “dozens” refers to a quantity of twelve or multiples thereof. It finds application in various fields, including baking, shopping, mathematics, crafts, and expressing abundance. Whether used as a specific measurement, an approximation, or a tool for organization, dozens provide a versatile and practical way to quantify and describe quantities.。

【奇速英语】点拨英语词汇dozen的用法
dozen可用复数吗?dozen后要接of吗?你知道dozen的用法吗?请先看下面一道试题:
We already have _________ pencils, but we need two _________ pens. A. dozen of, dozen B. dozens of, dozens C. dozens of, dozen D. dozens of, dozen of
此题最佳答案为C。

关于dozen的复数是否加词尾-s的问题比较复杂,大致原则是:
1. 当它与具体数字连用时,既不加复数词尾-s,也不后接介词of。

尽管有的词书也有two dozen of 这样的用例,但这已属过时用法,在考试中应避免,如1992年全国高考有一道单项选择题就认为two dozen of为错误选项:
Shortly after the accident, _________ police were sent to the spot to keep order.
A. dozens of
B. dozens
C. dozen of
D. dozen [D]
2. 当它不与具体数字连用,而是表示不确定的泛指数时,则不仅要加复数词尾-s,而且要后接介词of,此时可将dozens of(许多,几十)视为习语。

如:
I’ve been there dozens of times. 我去过那儿几十次。

She’s got dozens of boy-friends. 她的男朋友很多。

下面一例中的dozens加了复数词尾-s也属为似情况:
Pack them in dozens. 按打装袋吧。

(from )
奇速英语官网供稿 1
3. 当与a few, several 等数目不很具体的词连用时,加不加复数词尾-s均可,但需注意:不加复数词尾-s时,其后的介词of可以省略;加词尾-s时,其后介词of不能省略。

如:
several dozen (of) pencils=several dozens of pencils几打铅笔
注:英语较少使用many dozen的说法,要表示类似意思可用dozens of。

4. 当它后面的名词受the, these, those 等特指限定词修饰时,或其后的接的是us, them这样的人称代词时,则此时必须用介词of。

如:two dozen of these eggs 两打这种鸡蛋
three dozen of them 它们中的3打
注:score, hundred, thousand, million等也具有以上类似用法。
