誤區(qū)一 誤認(rèn)主語
1. 倒裝句
①Between the two buildings are a big tree. (×)
②Between the two buildings is a big tree. (√)
[解析] 第①句謂語動詞使用are,錯誤地認(rèn)為the two buildings是該句的主語,但實(shí)際上是介詞between的賓語,一起構(gòu)成介詞短語,而介詞短語不能充當(dāng)主語。該句是一個倒裝句,真正主語是a big tree.因此第②句正確。
特別提醒 倒裝句的常見結(jié)構(gòu):副詞/介詞短語+謂語+主語
2. 主語之后帶有介詞短語
、賂he fruit like apples, oranges are good for our health. (×)
、赥he fruit like apples, oranges is good for our health. (√)
[解析] 第①句誤認(rèn)為apples, oranges是主語,因此謂語動詞用are,而實(shí)際上the fruit才是該句的主語,like apples,oranges是介詞短語作后置定語修飾the fruit.該句譯為“像蘋果、桔子之類的水果對我們的身體是有好處的”。因此第②句是正確的。
特別提醒 類似的結(jié)構(gòu)有:主語+with / like / except / but / together with / as well as . . . ,謂語動詞應(yīng)與主語一致,而與介詞短語之后的名詞無關(guān)。
3. one of . . . + 名詞復(fù)數(shù)或復(fù)數(shù)代詞
①There are twenty boys in our class. One of the boys are from Canada. (×)
、赥here are twenty boys in our class. One of the boys is from Canada. (√)
[解析] one of the boys的中心詞是one,因此謂語動詞用單數(shù),造成第①句錯誤的原因主要是把the boys當(dāng)成了該句的主語。
4. 定語從句
①I like the photos which was taken in Beijing. (×)
、贗 like the photos which were taken in Beijing. (√)
[解析] which were taken in Beijing是一個定語從句,用于修飾先行詞the photos,而which本身就代替先行詞the photos.因此謂語動詞要用復(fù)數(shù),造成第①句錯誤的原因是沒有弄清楚關(guān)系詞which的實(shí)質(zhì),只是從形式上看它是單數(shù)。
特別提醒 定語從句中的謂語動詞應(yīng)該與先行詞保持一致。
誤區(qū)二 被主語的表象迷惑
誤區(qū)二 被主語的表象迷惑
1. 看似復(fù)數(shù)卻表單數(shù)概念
、費(fèi)aths are my favourite subject. (×)
②Maths is my favourite subject. (√)
[解析] maths本身是一個以“s”結(jié)尾的單詞,而不是一個復(fù)數(shù)名詞,表示單數(shù)概念“數(shù)學(xué)”這一學(xué)科,因此第②句正確。
類似的有:physics,news,politics . . .
2. 看似單數(shù)卻表復(fù)數(shù)概念
、賂he police is searching for the robbers. (×)
、赥he police are searching for the robbers. (√)
[解析] the police譯為“警方”,表示復(fù)數(shù)概念,而不是表示“那個警察”,因此第②句正確,類似的詞有:people,the +形容詞,the +姓+family等均表復(fù)數(shù)概念。
3. 名詞的單復(fù)數(shù)同形
、賂here are a little sheep eating grass on the hill. Can you see it? (×)
、赥here is a little sheep eating grass on the hill. Can you see it? (√)
[解析] sheep是一個單復(fù)數(shù)形式相同的名詞,由于sheep之前用的a little修飾,加上Can you see it中的it指代單數(shù),因此a little sheep譯為“一只小綿羊”,因此第②句正確。如果將原題改為:There ________ (be) a few sheep eating grass on the hill. Can you see them?那又會怎么樣呢。
特別提醒 類似的單復(fù)數(shù)形式相同的詞還有fish, Chinese, Japanese等,要根據(jù)句子的含義和結(jié)構(gòu)暗示來判斷其單復(fù)數(shù)。
4. 集合名詞
、賂heir family is very happy. Now their family is watching TV. (×)
、赥heir family is very happy. Now their family are watching TV. (√)
[解析] family是一個集合名詞,表示整體概念時謂語用單數(shù),表示個體概念時謂語用復(fù)數(shù)。該句譯為“他們?nèi)液苄腋#F(xiàn)在全家人正在看電視”。因此第一個family表示整體概念,譯為“家庭”,第二個family表示個體概念,譯為“家人”,第②句正確。
特別提醒 類似的還有g(shù)roup,class,team等既可表單數(shù)也可表復(fù)數(shù)。
誤區(qū)三 誤用語言規(guī)則
誤區(qū)三 誤用語言規(guī)則
1. 表示時間、距離、金錢、重量、數(shù)量等名詞作主語
、賂en years are quite a long time. (×)
②Ten years is quite a long time. (√)
[解析] 表示時間、距離、金錢、重量、數(shù)量等名詞的復(fù)數(shù)作主語時看作一個整體,謂語動詞要用單數(shù),容易錯誤理解為復(fù)數(shù)而出現(xiàn)第①句的錯誤。
2. 由and連接的并列主語
、賂he twentieth lesson and last lesson are very easy for students. (×)
②The twentieth lesson and last lesson is very easy for students. (√)
[解析] the twentieth lesson and last lesson是表示同一概念,譯為“第20課即最后一課”,因此謂語動詞應(yīng)該用單數(shù)。同學(xué)們?nèi)菀族e誤理解“第20課和最后一課”,如果表示兩課,應(yīng)該表達(dá)為“the twentieth lesson and the last lesson”。
特別提醒 由and連接的并列主語表示同一概念時,謂語動詞用單數(shù),表示不同的概念時謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)。
3. 就近原則
、貼either you nor he have been to Beijing. (×)
、贜either you nor he has been to Beijing. (√)
[解析] neither . . . nor連接的并列主語(you , he)雖然表示兩個人,但根據(jù)語言規(guī)則,當(dāng)它連接并列主語的時候,謂語動詞根據(jù)就近原則,該由he決定,因此第②句正確。
特別提醒 類似的還有either . . . or,not only . . . but also,not . . . but,以及there be之后的并列主語,謂語動詞的確定都根據(jù)“就近原則”。
4. this kind of,a piece of,this pair of等短語作主語
、賂his pair of trousers are very new, but Tom’s trousers are very old. (×)
、赥his pair of trousers is very new, but Tom’s trousers are very old. (√)
[解析] trousers作主語時,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù),但當(dāng)它被this pair of修飾時謂語動詞由pair的單復(fù)數(shù)確定。因此第②句正確。
特別提醒 this kind of,a piece of,a bag of,a box of等,這類短語作主語時謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)由這些短語中的名詞決定,而與它們所修飾的名詞無關(guān)。
5. the rest of, half of等短語作主語
、貶alf of the students have finished most of the work. The rest of it are very difficult. (×)
、贖alf of the students have finished most of the work. The rest of it is very difficult. (√)
[解析] 根據(jù)句意和句子結(jié)構(gòu)可以判斷the rest of it中的it,指the work,而work是不可數(shù)名詞,因此第②句正確。
特別提醒 all of,most of,half of,the rest of,以及a lot of,some,any+名詞作主語時,要根據(jù)后面的名詞確定謂語動詞的單復(fù)數(shù)。
6. 一句話提示
、俸铣刹欢ù~(如something,anybody等)作主語,謂語動詞用單數(shù);
、趧用~、不定式、從句作主語時,謂語動詞用單數(shù);
、踑 number of +名詞(復(fù))作主語,謂語用復(fù)數(shù),the number of +名詞(復(fù))作主語,謂語用單數(shù);
④none of . . . 作主語時,謂語動詞可用單數(shù),也可用復(fù)數(shù)。
