主谓一致
谓语动词的数必须和主语的人称和数一致, 这就叫主谓一致。 二、分类
语法一致
意义一致
就近一致
1. 语法一致
主语和谓语从语法形式上取得一致：主语是单数形式，谓语也采取单数形式；主语是复数形式，谓语亦采取复数形式。 例如：
The number of accidents was surprising. 事故之多是惊人的。 We love our motherland.
Each answer is worth 20 points. 每题20分。
Many a method has been tried to solve the problem. 7. more than one+ 名词单数 More than one person was injured. 8. a+ 名词单数+a half+动词单数
An hour and a half is allowed for the exam. 9. 不可数名词作主语，一律视为单数。
advice/information/knowledge/laughter/progress/traffic/
rubbish/baggage/clothing/equipment/furniture/jewellery /luggage
谓语动词用复数
1. The +姓的复数形式
The Greens are having a holiday.
2. “the ＋adj. ( 如blind/deaf/poor/living/young/wounded) 表一类人时，谓语动词用复数。
The disabled are well taken care of in this country. 3. a number of ＋复数名词，“许多?”，复数意义；the number of ＋复数名词，“??的数
目”，单数意义。The population of?“?的人口数量”作主语时，谓语用单数，但 如果是分数/百分数/half of/the rest of＋the population 作主语时，谓语则用复数，具体指其中的多少人，复数意义
The population of China is large and about eighty percent of the population are farmers. 注意：the average of ?“??的平均数量”，作主语时，谓语用单数。
谓语动词用单数的情况
1. 表示时间、金钱、距离、重量、数量的复数名词作主语，通常看作一个整体，谓语动词用
单数。
例如：Three years in a strange land seems like a long time. 在异乡生活的三年，仿佛是很长的时间。
2. 动词不定式, 动名词，从句作主语时, 谓语动词常用单数。 Going out for a walk after supper is a good habit. To see is to believe.眼见为实。
Whether we’ll go depends on the weather. 我们是否要去取决于天气的好坏。 3．以-ics结尾的学科名称，如physics(物理学)、mathematics(数学)、mechanics(机械学)、politics(政治学)、economics(经济学)、athletics(体育学)等，通常作单数用。 Physics is not easy to understand. 4.“one, either, neither, each, the other, another, anyone, anybody, someone, somebody, everything, anything, nothing等不定代词作主语，谓语用单数” eg： Someone has parked the car in the way.
5. each each
every + 名词单数+ and + every + 名词单数 做主语
no no
many a many a
Each boy and each girl has a beautiful dream.
No teacher and no student agrees to have class on Sundays. 6.
each every
either + 名词单数 做主语 neither many a
就前原则
with
along with together with besides
but除…没有
A+ except + B 谓语动词与第一个主语A保持一致。
including as well as
rather than as much as no less than such as/like beyond
The teacher as well as the students was excited.

就近原则：以下词连接并列主语时，谓语动词与靠近它的主语在数上保持一致。
A or B not A but B either A or B Verb neither A nor B
not only A but also B
Either she or you are right.
Not only they but also he likes playing games.
视情况而定
1. 分数、百分数，all, some, the rest, half of, most of, part of 等作主语时，谓语动词的单复数
根据其指代的含义确定
Two thirds of the water is polluted. Two thirds of the workers are women.
2. 当and连接的两个并列主语在意义上指同一人、同一物时，应看作单数，谓语动词用单数
形式。英语中并列结构表示整体概念的有：
iron and steel 钢铁 a knife and fork 刀叉
bread and butter 黄油面包 a watch and chain 一块带链的表 The doctor and professor is visiting our school.
3. what,who,which,such 等词常与其后作表语的名词保持一致
What surprised us most was his attitude towards study. What attracted us most were the colors of the butterflies. Such are his word. Such is our plan.
4. quantities of ＋名词作主语时，不论名词是可数复数还是不可数名词，谓语一律用复数
Every day quantities of water are wasted . 5. 在倒装句中，谓语与后面第一个主语的数保持一致
On the wall hangs a picture and some balloons.
6. there 或here引起，而主语又不止一个时，谓语和最靠近它的主语一致
Here is a pen, a few envelopes and some paper in the drawer. 7. 主语为集合名词时，若看做一个整体，谓语动词用单数；若强调个体，用复数。如：French,
Japanese, Chinese, army, audience, cattle(牛), class(班级), club, committee, crowd, family, government, group, majority, minority, part, people, police, public(公众), staff, team等，但cattle，people，police一般看成复数形式
8. 英语中有一些由两个部分组成的物体名称通常是以-s结尾，如scissors(剪子)，glasses(眼镜)，
shorts(短裤)，trousers(裤子)等。这一类名词，如果不带“一把”、“一副”、“一条”等单位词而单独使用，通常作复数。如果带有单位词，则由单位词的单、复数形式决定动词的单、复数形式。
One pair of scissors isn’t enough.
9. 以-s结尾的是国名、机构名，书名，组织名，如the United States, the United Nations, the
Netherlands等，尽管带有复数词尾，但属于单一政治实体，故作单数用。但若不是国名，
而是群岛、山脉、海峡、瀑布等地理名称，通常作复数用。 The United Nations is a world organization. The New York Times is an American newspaper. 10. 一些以-s结尾的名词，作主语，用复数。
clothes(衣服), contents(内容, 目录), fireworks(烟火), goods(货物), savings(储蓄) morals(道德, 品行), thanks(谢意), belongings(财产，所有物), A lot of goods were sent to the flooded areas.
11. 凡是由-ings结尾的名词，如earnings (收入), lodgings (租住的房屋), surroundings (环境),
sweepings (扫拢的垃圾) 等, 通常作复数用。
12. 还有一些以-s结尾的单、复数同形的名词，如 headquarters(总部), means(方法，手段),
series(系列), species(种类), works(工厂), crossroads(十字路口)等，随后动词的单、复数形式取决于这些名称是作单数，还是作复数。例如： Every means has been tried to solve the problem. All means have been tried to solve the problem.
13. 两数相减或相除，动词用单数；两数相加或相乘，动词可用单数，也可用复数。 Forty minus fifteen (40-15) leaves twenty-five. Forty divided by eight (40/8) is five.
Seven and five (7+5) makes/make twelve. Five times eight (5×8) is /are forty.
14. (1)在“one of+复数名词+关系从句”结构中，依照语法一致原则 Joan is one of those people who are excited.
(2)在这类结构之前有the或者有the only 修饰时，用单数。 He is the only one of the students who has reached the standard.
1. (2013·福建卷)The famous musician, as well as his students,_________(invite) to perform at the opening ceremony of the 2012 Taipei Flower Expo.
