Check your answers against your classmates.大自然的呼唤II. Learning about grammarReading and thinkingTurn to page 2 and read with me the text of A PROTECTO

24、R OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE. As you read on， pay attention to the forms of sentence predicates and the subject-verb agreement shown in the sentences.(For reference: Our group are， Watching a family of chimps is， Nobody before has fully understood)Doing exercises No. 1 and 2 on page 5Turn to page 5. Look a

25、t the two sentences: Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. And our group includes six boys and five girls. Have you noticed any difference between them？ Yes. If the word “group ” refers to different members， use a plural verb. If the word “group” is considered as a whole， use a

26、singular verb. Now fill in the blanks with the proper form of the given verbs in brackets on page 5. And then go on to do Exercise No. 2 on the same page， that is， fill in the correct verb form in the letter.III. Ready used materials for Subject-verb agreementI got a hold of some bad pork chops the

27、other day， and they didnt agree with me. Stomach aches arent very pleasant. Dont you agree？We all know these meanings of agree， but when we talk about subject-verb agreement， were talking about something different: matching subjects and verbs according to number. That is， when you have a singular su

28、bject， you have to match it with a singular verb form: The boy plays. When you have a plural subject， you must have a plural verb form: The boys play.In short， simple sentences， you should have no problem with agreement. You can hear the problem: The boys plays. When its wrong ， it just sounds funny

29、. However， there are four potential problem spots that you need to watch carefully:stuff in between the subject and verbreversed sentence order-body， -one， and -thing wordswho， which， and thatStuff in between subjects and verbsThe stuff here is usually a prepositional phrase that separates the subje

30、ct from the verb. Remember how we crossed out prepositional phrases in order to find the subject？ Do the same thing if youre having problems with agreement. Now， thinking about that， look at the following sentence and decide whats wrong with it:The dishes in the kitchen is dirty.Good guess！ The subj

31、ect and the verb dont agree. Whats the probable cause for the problem？ Kitchen (a singular noun) is right in front of is (a singular verb). If kitchen were the subject， that would be okay. But， its not. Cross out the prepositional phrase and youre left with:The dishes in the kitchen is dirty.The dis

32、hes . . . is dirty？ Sounds wrong， doesnt it？ The subject is plural， but the verb is singular. They dont agree. The correct version is:The dishes in the kitchen are dirty.Once you know how to look for this problem， it shouldnt be too hard to get rid of it when you proofread your paper.Reversed sentence orderThe normal pattern for English sentences is subject-verb. However， there are a few situations where this order is reverse
