5.不可数名词作主语,其前有表示数量的复数名词修饰时,谓语动词用复数

三.谓语动词可用单数,也可以用复数的情况
1
就近一致原则
这种情况下,谓语动词使用单数还是复数取决于最靠近该动词的主语的单复数,存在这种情况的主要由以下几种可能:
1) 由连词 either…or…; neither…nor…; whether… or…;not only…but (also) ;or 等连接的并列主语
neither money nor fame has influence on me
not only you but also he is wrong
2) 在倒装结构中,谓语动词与后面的第一个主语一致
blocking the open-sided porch, framed by the enveloping fog, stands a tall grave-faced policeman.
just outside the ruins is a magnificent building surrounded by tall trees.
although a great number of houses in that area are still in need of repair, there has been improvement in the facili
2 主语带有(together/alongwith, such as, accompanied by, as well as, no less than, except, besides, with, combined with, in addition to , including, together with 等等附加成分,谓语的数不受附加成分的影响仍然与主语保持一致
professor taylor , with six of his students ,is attending a conference in boston organized to compare current practice in the united states with those of other nations.
the president of the college, together with the deans, is planning a conference for the purpose of laying down certain regulations. (1981年考研题)
3.关系代词做主语的定语从句中,谓语的数要与先行词一致。如:
despite much research, there are still certain elements in the life cycle of the insect that are not fully understood.
(1996年考研题)
there are many valuable services which the public are willing to pay for, but which do not bring a return in money to the community.
(1990年考研题)
4.一些表示数量的短语与名词连用时候,谓语动词的数取决于名词的数,名词是复数,谓语动词用复数,反之就用单数。这些短语包括:a lot of /lots of; plenty of/heaps of; half of; two-third (three-fourth…) of; eighty(ten, twenty…) percent; part of; rest of ; none of 等等
two-thirds of people present are women
lots of damage was caused by the fire
5.集体名词作主语时,谓语动词的数取决于主语表示的意思和数,当表示整体时候,谓语动词就用单数,当强调集体中的个体时候,谓语动词就用复数。这些集体名词如:army, audience, band ,government ,group ,flock, police, public ,staff ,team ,troop. crowd, firm, family 等等
the family is the basic unit of our society
the family were watching the tv
the audience was enormous
the audience were greatly moved at the words
6.某些固定结构中主语与谓语的数:
第一组:
a great many + 可数名词复数 谓语用复数
a number of + 可数名词复数 谓语用复数
the majority of + 可数名词复数 谓语用复数
第二组;
the number of + 可数名词复数 谓语用单数
each/every + 可数名词复数 谓语用单数
neither/either of + 可数名词复数 谓语用单数
one and a half + 可数名词复数 谓语用单数
第三组;
more than one + 可数名词单数 谓语用单数
many a + 可数名词单数 谓语用单数
第四组;
the greater part of
a large proportion of
50% of
one third of
plenty of
the rest of
谓语的数与of 后面的名词一致
第五组;
(n)either…(n)or….
not only….. but also ……
not …..but ……
谓语的数与主语的第二部分(即(n)or/ but also/ but引导的后面部分)一致.
注意比较:
more students than one have been referred to
more than one student is going to buy this book

(四)倒装结构
倒装是指句子成分不是按主语在前、谓语在后的正常语序排列,而是将谓语或谓语的一部分移到主语之前。倒装是一种修辞手段,目的是为了强调。倒装分为部分倒装和全部倒装,考试多为部分倒装。考生应掌握什么情况下需要倒装,并对倒装后的句子能够认出来,避免做题时候的盲目和迷茫。
一. 用全部倒装的情况
全部倒装一般是存在以下列副词开头的句子中,全部倒装的方法是把句子的主谓语序颠倒过来,把谓语移到主语前面:
1)出于修辞需要,表示方向的副词:out, down, in ,up, away, on。如:
down jumped the burglar from the tenth floor when he heard someone shouted at him.
up went the plane
2)出于习惯用法:here, there, now, thus, hence, then.如:
now is your turn. there goes the bell.
here is a ticket for you
there existed a certain doubt among the students as to the necessity of work
注意:here,there用于倒装结构时主语一般为名词,如果是人称代词则不需要倒装
“ where is the cup?” “here it is!”
here you are.
there he comes.
3)有时主语较长,为了使句子平衡,避免头重脚轻,主谓要全部倒装。这种情况多出现在主系表结构中。如:
less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.
in between these two extremes are those people who agree with the jury system as a whole, but feel that some changes need to be implemented to improve its effectiveness.
