主语和谓语的一致
主语和谓语的一致.
1.主语和谓语的一致关系:
谓语要与主语在人称和数上保持一致:
Herdreamshavecometrue.
Herdreamhascometrue.
Sheoftenarrivesatschoollate.
Theyoftenarriveatschoollate.
Itisgettingdark.
Eggsaregettingscarcer.
Iamgettingbored.
2.确定主语单复数的三个原则:
2–1.语法上一致的原则:
Theboyplaysfootballwell.
Theboysplayfootballwell.
Itisbitterlycold.
Iamverycold.
2–2.概念上一致的原则:
Myfamilyareallearlyrisers.(指家中的全体成员,有复数含义)
Hisfamilyhasmovedintothenewhouse.(指整个家,用作单数)
Fiveminutesisenough.(一个时间段,看作单数)
Thecrewarewaitingforinstructionsfromthecaptain.(指全体船员,复数)
2–3.邻近词一致的原则:
Neitherhenortheyarewhollyright.
NeitherTomnortheBrownsenjoytheirjourneytoBeijingowingtothebadweather.
Eitheryourkeyormykeyismissing.
Notonlybutalsotheirteacherhasparticipatedintheparty.

3.主谓一致的具体原则:

Theirgreatestconcernisthechildren.
Themostappreciatedgiftwastheclothesthatyousentus.
Whatweneedmostisbooks.
Paulisfriendswithbill.
在“单数名词(主语)+(together)with+名词”结构中谓语只与主语保持一致,这是因为上述短语只起修饰主语的作用,而非主语的一部分.
短语:
Alongwith,aswellas,inadditionto,accompaniedby,ratherthan,asmuchas,nolessthan,including,besides,except,but,like.
Thefactorywithallitsequipmenthasbeenburnt.
YouaswellasIarewrong.
