英语四级语法：主谓一致

　　今天查字典英语小编主要给大家讲解的是英语四级语法：主谓一致，希望对同学们的英语学习有所帮助。

　　主谓一致指主语和谓语动词之间在"人称"和"数"方面的一致关系。处理主谓一致关系必须遵循"语法一致"、"意义一致"、"毗邻一致"三条原则。

　　e.g.Two girls were standing on the corner .(语法一致)

　　The government have asked the country to decide by a vote.(意义一致)

　　Either my brothers or my father is coming.(毗邻一致)

　　本文着重讨论英语中what分句、关系分句、分裂句和存在句中的主谓一致等问题。

　　1.what分句中的主谓一致

　　what引导的分句作主语时，谓语动词既可用单数形式，也可用复数形式。

　　(1)如果what分句指的是抽象概念或某一具体事物，谓语动词要用单数形式。

　　e.g.What is beautifulis not always good.漂亮的并不总是好的。

　　What the boy wants is a toy car.这孩子想要的是一辆玩具车。

　　(2)如果what分句指的是两个或两个以上的东西或者what=those things which，谓语动词要用复数形式。

　　e.g.What I would like to buy are some fish and chicken.我想要买的是鱼和肉。

　　2.关系分句中的主谓一致

　　关系分句中，关系代词作主语时，谓语动词和先行词的人称、数一致。

　　e.g.I ，who am your friend，will try my best to help

　　you.我作为你的朋友会尽力帮助你的。

　　在"one of +复数名词+关系分句"结构中，关系分句中动词通常依照语法一致原则，用复数形式。

　　e.g.Mr.Gilman is one of those men who appear to be friendly;however，it is hard to deal with him.吉尔曼先生属于那种表面上对人友好的人;实际上很难和他打交道。

　　但如果在这类结构之前有定冠词the或者有the only等限定词和强调词时，关系分句动词形式依one而

　　定，用单数。

　　e.g.Tom is the only one of the staff members who is going to be transferred.汤姆是工作人员中唯一将调动工作的人。

　　3.分裂句中的主谓一致

　　在分裂句中"It is...that/who分句"中的动词形式通常依先行词而定。

　　e.g.It is Jim who is going to do it.是吉姆去做这项工作。

　　It is I who am to blame.应受责备的是我。

　　但在非正式语体中，此分裂句中心成分可用宾格代词 me，这时，随后的that分句动词通常用第三人称单数。

　　e.g.It is me that is going to take care of the baby.将要照看孩子的是我。

　　4.存在句中的主谓一致

　　在存在句中，谓语动词与其后面的主语一致。一般说来，主语是单数，动词也用单数，主语是复数，动词也用复数。

　　e.g.There is a big lake in the centre of the city.城市的中心有一个大湖。

　　There are three rooms left.还剩三间房。

　　当用作主语的并列结构是抽象名词时，谓语动词用单数形式。

　　e.g.There was singing and laughing in the opposite room.对门屋里有说有笑。

　　主谓一致关系对英语学习者来说，掌握上有一定的困难，须多多练习。

　　No teacher and no student is admitted.

　　3)"名词+and+not+名词"或者"名词，+not+名词"组成的主语，其谓语动词的人称和数应与前面的名词一致。

　　I，not you，am to blame.(=I am to blame，not you.)

　　4.不同人称同位，谓语动词与第一个人称一致。

　　I，your teacher，have granted you a request.

　　5.主语由连词：or，either...or，neither...nor，not only...but(also)等连接的两个名词或代词组成，其谓语动词应与毗邻的名词一致。
