初中英语语法大全:主谓一致
就近原则1. 由并列结构或连词(either…or, neither…nor,not…but, not only…but also, or等)连接的并列主语,谓语动词与* 近的那个名词或代词保持一致。
例句:Neither his parents nor Tom is at home. Tom和他的父母都不在家。
Note:“either…or, neither…nor, or”连接的两个主语若是一单一复,最好将复数主词放在后面而接复数动词。
2. 在倒装句和there be句型中,谓语动词与后面的第一个主语保持一致。
例句:There is a book and some pens on the desk. 桌子上有一本书和几支钢笔。

3. 在定语从句中,关系代词作主语,其谓语动词应与它所指代的先行词保持一致。
例句:I know the man who is talking to my father.我认识那个正在和我父亲谈话的人。
4. 在强调句中,连接代词又在句中作主语,这时它应与被强调的主语保持一致。
例句:It is Mary’s brother who was injured in the car accident. 是Mary的哥哥在车祸中受伤了。
意义一致原则
1. 当主语与谓语动词之间插入along with,with,as well as,together with, no less than,besides,except, but, including等短语时,谓语动词不受这些插入语的干扰,依然和主语保持一致。
例句:I, along with my sister, am going to Shanghai next month. 我,还有我姐姐,打算下个月去上海。
2. 英语中有一类单、复数同型的词(people,means,sheep,deer,fish等),其单、复数取决于它在句中的含义。
例句:All of the people in the country have been prepared for the great reformation.这个国家的人都已经为大变革做好了准备。
3. 多数情况下,由“what”引导的名词性从句作主语时,其后的谓语动词通常用单数形式。

例句:All I know about this company is what he told me yesterday.我对这家公司的了解都是昨天完他告诉我的。
5. “…+ (of) +名词”结构描述数量时,如果“of”后的名词为单数(不可数名词),则谓语动词用单数,如果名词为复数,则谓语动词用复数。
例句:Most of the water here is clean.大部分的水是干净的。
