如何将英语主语和动词一致

一些指导原则来帮助你的主语和动词一致。

1. 当一个句子的主语是由两个或两个以上的名词或代词由and连接时，使用复数动词。

She and her friends are at the fair.

2. 当两个或两个以上的单数名词或代词由or或nor连接时，使用单数动词。

The book or the pen is in the drawer.

当复合主语同时包含由or或nor连接的单数和复数名词或代词时，动词应与主语靠近动词的部分保持一致。

The boy or his friends run every day.

His friends or the boy runs every day.

4. Doesn't是does not的缩写形式，只能与单数主语连用。Don't是do not的缩写形式，只能与复数主语连用。这条规则的例外出现在第一人称和第二人称代词I和you的情况下。对于这些代词，缩写不应该被使用。

He doesn't like it.

They don't like it.

5. 不要被介于主语和动词之间的短语所误导。动词与主语一致，而不是与短语中的名词或代词一致。

One of the boxes is open

The people who listen to that music are few.

The team captain, as well as his players, is anxious.

The book, including all the chapters in the first section, is boring.

The woman with all the dogs walks down my street.

6. 单词each, each one, either, neither, everyone, everybody, anybody, anyone, nobody, somebody, someone, no one是单数，需要动词单数。

Each of these hot dogs is juicy.

Everybody knows Mr. Jones.

Either is correct.

7. 像civics, mathematics, dollars，measles和news这样的名词都需要单数动词。

The news is on at six.

注意:单词dollar是一个特殊情况。当谈论到钱的数量时，它需要一个单数动词，但当涉及到美元本身时，需要一个复数动词。

Five dollars is a lot of money.

在俄罗斯，美元经常被用来代替卢布。

8. 名词如剪刀、镊子、裤子和剪刀都需要用复数动词。(这些事情有两个部分。)

These scissors are dull.

Those trousers are made of wool.

9. 在以“there is”或“there are”开头的句子中，主语跟在动词后面。因为there不是主语，所以动词与后面的内容一致。

There are many questions.

There is a question.

10. 集合名词是指包含不止一个人，但被认为是单数的词，动词为单数，如group、team、committee、class和family。

The team runs during practice.

The committee decides how to proceed.

The family has a long history.

My family has never been able to agree.

The crew is preparing to dock the ship.

这句话是指每个船员的个人努力。

11. 如with, together with, including, accompanied by, in addition, or as well do not change the number of subject。如果主语是单数，动词也是。

The President, accompanied by his wife, is traveling to India.

All of the books, including yours, are in that box.
