初中英语复习备考:主谓一致5个考点讲义
考点一
在定语从句中,关系代词that, who, which 等作主语时,其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。
【考例】 Barbara is easy to recognize as she’s the only one of the women who ______ evening dress.
A. wear
B. wears
C. has worn
D. have worn
解析:B。
the only one of …为先行词时,定语从句修饰的是one,即one是主语,而非后面的复数名词women,根据主谓一致的原则,谓语动词应该用单数。由前面一般现在时可以判断,本句表示一般的情况,空格处应用一般现在时。
考点二
with, together with, along with, as well as, like, rather than, but, except, besides, including, in addition to等介词并列两个主语时,谓语与介词前面的那个主语保持一致;但由or, not only…but also…, neither…nor…,either…or…, not…but…等连接两个或两个以上的并列主语时,谓语动词要与离它最近的主语在数上保持一致。
【考例1】 The famous musician, as well as his students, ______ to perform at the opening ceremony of the Taipei Flower Expo.
A. were invited
B. was invited
C. have been invited
D. has been invited
解析:B。
主语是the famous musician,谓语用单数;根据句意,应用一般过去时的被动式。
【考例2】 The chief engineer together with his colleagues ______ new scientific methods of farming since five years ago. (look)
五年以来,总工程师和他的同事们一起一直在寻找新的科学农耕方法。
解析:has been looking for或has looked for。
根据句意,应用现在完成(进行)时。主语是The chief engineer,用单数。
【考例3】 翻译:他和他的同学都不喜欢放学后补课。(Neither…nor…) (上海2012春)
解析:
Neither he nor his classmates like taking extra classes after school. neither…nor …作主语,谓语与最近的那一个主语一致。
考点三
and连接并列主语表示同一概念时,谓语动词用单数形式;表示不同概念时谓语动词常用复数形式;此外,由each...and (each)...,every...and(every)...,many a...and (many a)...,no...and(no)...等作主语时,谓语动词用单数。
【考例1】
—Did you go to the show last night?
—Yeah. Every boy and girl in the area ______ invited.
A. were
B. have been
C. has been
D. was
解析:D。
and连接并列名词并且被every等修饰时,谓语动词用单数形式。该句状语是last night,所以用一般过去时。
【考例2】 A poet and artist ______ coming to speak to us about Chinese literature and painting tomorrow afternoon.
A. is
B. are
C. was
D. were
解析:A。
a poet and artist是同一个人,即表示某人既是诗人,又是画家。所以其谓语动词要用单数形式。现在进行时可以表示将来按计划或安排发生的动作,并可以与表示将来的时间状语tomorrow afternoon连用。
考点四
单数名词,不可数名
