Subject-Verb Agreement
1
When you write a sentence you must make sure that the subject and the verb agree.
当你写一个句子的时候,一定要保证主语和谓语保持一致
If the subject is a singular noun, or the pronoun he, she or it, you need a singular verb.
如果主语是单数名词,或者是代词he ,she ,it
我们需要使用动词的三单形式
例如:
She enjoys music.
她喜欢音乐。
主语:She
谓语:enjoy
因为主语为代词she,所以enjoy+s
She shares her books with her friends.
The zookeeper is feeding the animals.
饲养员正在喂动物
主语:zookeeper(单数)
谓语:is...
The children are playing on the swings.
孩子们正在秋千上玩耍
主语:children(复数)
谓语:are
It is snowing .
正在下雪
主语:it
谓语:is snowing
The earth moves round the sun .
主语:the eath
谓语:move-moves
Use a plural verb if the subject is a plural noun, or the pronoun we, you or they.
如果主语是复数名词,或者是代词:we,you ,they
我们就要使用动词的复数形式
The two girls always walk home together.
这两个女孩总是一起走回家。
主语:the two girls
谓语:walk
不可以用三单,因为主语是复数
Mom and Dad love us a lot
爸爸妈妈很爱我
主语:Mon and Dad
谓语:love
Collective nouns may be used with either singular or plural verbs. If the group members are all acting together as one, use a singular verb. If the members of the group are acting as individuals, use a plural verb.
集合名词可以用谓语动词单数/复数
取决于是否把他们看做成一个主体/个体
The audience are laughing.
观众们正在大笑
主语:the audience
谓语:are laughing
在这里我们是把观众看成独立的个体
所以谓语动词用are
The band is playing.
乐队正在演奏
主语:the band
谓语:is playing
在这里,我们是把乐队看成是一个整体
Singular
That family has moved to Texas.
那家人搬到了特斯拉
主语:that family
谓语:has moved
The team is coached by Mr. Clark.
Plural
The family were giving their opinions.
那家人正在发表他们的意见
主语:the family
谓语:were giving
看作是
The team are sharing new ideas.(复数-个体)
Our team has won.(单数-has看作整体)
Some plural nouns, such as people, cattle, police, don’t end with -s. Always use a plural verb with these nouns. For example:
People like to be praised.
The cattle are in the field.
The police have caught the thief.
