語法小知識:主謂一致中的語法一致原則
英語中主謂一致是指句中的謂語動詞和主語在人稱和數(shù)上保持一致。在做涉及主謂一致的練習(xí)時,同學(xué)們有時會覺得顧此失彼。究其原因,往往是沒有把握住主語的真正內(nèi)涵,考慮不周全。今天小編為大家整理了三大原則之一的語法一致原則的相關(guān)知識點(diǎn),快來看一下吧。
動詞不定式、動名詞或名詞性從句作主語時,謂語動詞用單數(shù)形式。如:
To be an honest person is not easy.
Smoking does harm to health.
What he believes is not true.
由and或both.?and連接的名詞作主語時,謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式。如:
The red coat?and the white coat?are very beautiful.
主語后面有as well as, together?with, along with, but, like, except, including等非并列連接性短語時,謂語動詞要和主語在人稱和數(shù)上保持一致。
He as well as?me is responsible for this thing.
I, together?with?my sister, pan to have a picnic.
No one except him?agrees with this plan.
在倒裝句中, 謂語動詞的數(shù)應(yīng)與其后的主語保持一致。如:
On the desk is a red pen.
Such are the facts.
語法一致原則在主謂一致中占有很大的比重,當(dāng)三種原則發(fā)生沖突時,也應(yīng)以語法一致原則為主。總之,在語言實(shí)踐中,我們不僅要記住一般的語法規(guī)則,更要把握好有些名詞的內(nèi)在涵義,才能做好有關(guān)主謂一致的題目。
