以下是為大家整理的關(guān)于成人英語三級考試的文章,供大家學(xué)習(xí)參考!
第一節(jié) 主謂一致
主謂一致指的是主語和謂語在數(shù)上要保持一致. 在英語除了時態(tài)的變化外,名詞、動詞的數(shù)也有差別,這就要求主語(以名詞為代表)和謂語(包括助動詞)在數(shù)上要一致如:
1. 在名詞+of+名詞這種結(jié)構(gòu)中, 前一個名詞是整個短語的中心詞, 當(dāng)該短語作主語時,一般以of之前名詞的數(shù)為依據(jù)確定謂語的數(shù).one of 之后需接復(fù)數(shù)名詞,但one of+名詞作主語時中心詞是one,故謂語應(yīng)用單數(shù) One of my students wins the game.
2. 由and連接的多個名詞作主語,謂語動詞應(yīng)用復(fù)數(shù)
Career and love are important to me.轉(zhuǎn)自環(huán) 球 網(wǎng) 校edu24ol.com
im, John and Mary are playing football.
但是如果用and連接起來表示單一的概念時,謂語動詞要用單數(shù)
The famous singer and actress, Whitney Huston is coming to the ceremony.
(在這里, singer和actress指得是同一人, 都是Whitney Huston)
3. 不可數(shù)名詞,尤其是抽象名詞(relation, authority, necessity, power, democr acy, young等)作主語時要視為單數(shù),謂語自然也要用單數(shù)
The relation between us is very simple.
4. 單個從句作主語時,謂語用單數(shù)
That she has gone insane is sheer rumor.
When they will come hasn’t been made public.
5. 如果主語是單數(shù),那么即使后面有
with/ together with/ alongwith/accompaniedby, no less than, like, but, except, including, besides
等引導(dǎo)的短語,謂語動詞仍然要是用單數(shù)
例如:The boy, together with his parents, goes to the cinema today.
No one except the two boys knows how to solve this problem.轉(zhuǎn)自環(huán) 球 網(wǎng) 校edu24ol.com
6. 由Not A but B, Not only A but also B, either A or B, neither A nor B引導(dǎo)的主語,謂語通常和最鄰近的主語相一致
Either you or Mary hurts her.
Neither my wife nor I myself am able to persuade my daughter to change her mind.
Not you but he is tired of typing.
Not only the students but also the teacher is going to be blamed.
7.在there be句型、介詞短語、副詞為句首引起的倒裝句中,真正的主語通常在謂 語的后面,謂語應(yīng)該和后面的主語在數(shù)方面相一致。
但是在there be 句型中,如果有兩個或者兩個以上的主語,必須和最接近他的那個主語相一致。
There are a lot of books on the table.
There is only one pencil, two books and one cup on the table.
Many a time has he given us good advice。
