幾個容易弄錯的主謂一致問題
1.“many a +名詞”和“more than one +名詞”作主語
謂語動詞的數(shù)通常用單數(shù)(即遵循語法一致的原則):
Many a child was playing there. 很多小孩在那兒玩。
More than one student has failed the exam. 不止一個學(xué)生考試未及格。
2. each 用于復(fù)數(shù)名詞后作同位語
此時謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù):
They each have an English-Chinese dictionary. 他們每人都有一本英漢詞典。
The young people each carry a big bag. 這些年輕人個個背著一個大袋子。
3. 主語后接in addition to, with, along with, together with, except, but等介詞
其后的動詞形式取決介詞前主語:
Nothing but trees was to be seen. 除了樹木之外什么也看不見。
No one except my parents knows anything about this. 除我父母外沒人知道此事。
Jim, together with his classmates, has seen the film. 吉姆和他的同學(xué)都看過這部*。
4. means作主語
名詞means(方法)單數(shù)與復(fù)數(shù)同形,用作主語時,其謂語的單復(fù)數(shù)要視具體含義而定(尤其注意其前的修飾語):
These means are very good. 這些方法很好。
Such a means is really unpleasant. 這樣的方法確實是令人不愉快。
若沒有特定的修飾語或語境,則用單數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)謂語均可:
There is [are] no good means. 沒有好的方法。
Are [Is] there any other means of doing it? 做這事還有其他的什么辦法嗎?
