语法知识点拨
主谓一致是指句子的谓语动词和其主语在人称和数上必须保持一致。本单元侧重讲解集体名词作主语时的主谓一致问题。集体名词作主语时可大致归为以下三种情况。
1.有些名词,如people、cattle、police、trousers等没有单数形式,作主语时,谓语动词只能用复数形式。
His trousers were slightly short.
他的裤子有点儿短。
How many people were at the meeting?
有多少人参加了会议?
2.有些集体名词,如public、family、enemy、audience、government、group、committee、team、media、band、staff、crew等,作主语时,谓语动词的数要根据其表示的意义而定。该名词表示一个整体时,其谓语动词用单数形式;表示集体中的若干个体时,谓语动词用复数形式。
A team which is full of enthusiasm is more likely to win.
充满热情的球队更有可能获胜。
My family are going with me.
我的家人将和我一起走。
3.有的集体名词,如clothing、poetry、luggage、furniture、machinery、scenery、jewellery、equipment等,通常只用作不可数名词,表示单数意义,用作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
All their clothing is bright and attractive.
他们所有的衣服都颜色鲜艳,引人注目。
Most of their equipment has been shipped ahead of schedule.
他们的大部分设备已经提前运走了。
①英语中一些单复数同形的名词作主语时,应根据其表达的意义来确定谓语动词的单复数形式,这类名词常见的有sheep、deer、fish、means、species、aircraft、crossroads、headquarters、series等。
温馨提示
Every possible means has been used to improve my English.
为了提高我的英语,每一种可能的方法我都用过了。
②学科名词如maths、politics、physics等作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式;表示书名、剧名、报刊名、国家名、地名的复数名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式。
温馨提示
To my delight,physics is her favourite subject.
令我高兴的是,物理学是她最喜欢的科目。
