15. 主谓一致
主谓一致是指:
1)
语法形式上要一致,即单复数形式与谓语要一致。
2) 意义上要一致,即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致。
3)
就近原则,即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语,
一般来说,不可数名词用动词单数,可数名词复数用动词复数。
There
is much water in the thermos.
但当不可数名词前有表示数量的复数名词时,谓语动词用复数形式。
Ten
thousand tons of coal were produced last year.
1 并列结构作主语时谓语用复数
Reading and writing are very
important.
注意: 当主语由and连结时,如果它表示一个单一的概念,即指同一人或同一物时,谓语动词用单数,and
此时连接的两个词前只有一个冠词。
The iron and steel industry is very important to our
life.
典型例题
The League secretary and monitor ___ asked to make a
speech at the meeting.
A. is B. was C. are D. were
答案B. 注:
先从时态上考虑。这是过去发生的事情应用过去时,先排除A.,C.。本题易误选D,因为The League secretary and monitor
好象是两个人,但仔细辨别, monitor 前没有the,在英语中,当一人兼数职时只在第一个职务前加定冠词。后面的职务用and
相连。这样本题主语为一个人,所以应选B。
2 主谓一致中的靠近原则
1)当there be
句型的主语是一系列事物时,谓语应与最邻近的主语保持一致。
There is a pen, a knife and several books on
the desk..
There are twenty boy-students and twenty-three girl-students in
the class.
2)当either… or… 与neither… nor, 连接两个主语时,谓语动词与最邻近的主语保持一致。
如果句子是由here, there引导,而主语又不止一个时,谓语通常也和最邻近的主语一致。
Either you or she is to
go.
Here is a pen, a few envelops and some paper for you.
3 谓语动词与前面的主语一致
当主语后面跟有with, together with,
like, except, but, no less than, as well as 等词引起的短语时,谓语动词与前面的主语一致。
The
teacher together with some students is visiting the factory.
He as well as
I wants to go boating.
4 谓语需用单数
1) 代词each和由every, some, no,
any等构成的复合代词作主语,或主语中含有each, every, 谓语需用单数。
Each of us has a
tape-recorder.
There is something wrong with my watch.
2)
当主语是一本书或一条格言时,谓语动词常用单数。
The Arabian Night is a book known to lovers of
English.
>是英语爱好者熟悉的一本好书。
3)
表示金钱,时间,价格或度量衡的复合名词作主语 时,通常把这些名词看作一个整体,谓语一般用单数。(用复数也可,意思不变。)
Three weeks
was allowed for making the necessary preparations.
Ten yuan is
enough.
5 指代意义决定谓语的单复数
1) 在代词what, which, who, none,
some, any, more, most, all等词的单复数由其指代的词的单复数决定。
All is right.
(一切顺利。)
All are present. (所有人都到齐了。)
2)
集体名词作主语时,谓语的数要根据主语的意思来决定。如family, audience, crew, crowd, class, company,
committee等词后用复数形式时,意为这个集体中的各个成员,用单数时表示该个集体。
His family isn't very
large. 他家不是一个大家庭。
His family are music lovers. 他的家人都是音乐爱好者。
但集合名词people, police, cattle, poultry等在任何情况下都用复数形式。
Are there any police
around?
3)有些名词,如variety, number, population, proportion, majority
等有时看作单数,有时看作复数。
A number of +名词复数+复数动词。
The number of +名词复数+单数动词。
A
number of books have lent out.
The majority of the students like
English.
6 与后接名词或代词保持一致
1) 用half of, part of, most of,
a portion of 等词引起主语时,动词通常与of后面的名词,代词保持一致。
Most of his money is spent on
books.
Most of the students are taking an active part in sports.
2)
在一些短语,如 many a 或 more than one 所修饰的词作主语时,谓语动词多用单数形式。但由more than… of
作主语时,动词应与其后的名词或代词保持一致。
Many a person has read the novel. 许多人都读过这本书。
More than 60 percent of the students are from the
city.百分之六十多的学生都来自这个城市。
16. 虚拟语气
1) 概念
虚拟语气用来表示说话人的主观愿望或假想,所说的是一个条件,不一定是事实,或与事实相反。
2) 在条件句中的应用
条件句可分为两类,一类为真实条件句,一类为非真实条件句。非真实条件句表示的是假设的或实际可能性不大的情况,故采用虚拟语气。
1 真实条件句
真实条件句用于陈述语气,假设的情况可能发生,其中 if
是如果的意思。
时态关系
句型: 条件从句 主句
一般现在时 shall/will + 动词原形
If
he comes, he will bring his violin.
典型例题
The volleyball match will be
put off if it ___.
A. will rain B. rains C. rained D. is
rained
答案B。真实条件句主句为将来时,从句用一般现在时。
注意:
1) 在真实条件句中,主句不能用be going
to表示将来,该用shall, will.
(错) If you leave now, you are never going to regret
it.
(对) If you leave now, you will never regret it.
2)
表示真理时,主句谓语动词便不用shall (will) +动词原形,而直接用一般现在时的动词形式。
2 非真实条件句
1)时态:可以表示过去,现在和将来的情况。它的基本特点是时态退后。
a. 同现在事实相反的假设。
句型 :
条件从句 主句
一般过去时 should( would) +动词原形
If they were here, they
would help you.
b. 表示于过去事实相反的假设。
句型: 条件从句 主句
过去完成时
should(would) have+ 过去分词
If she had worked harder, she would have
succeeded.
The rice would not have been burnt if you had been more
careful.
If my lawyer had been here last Saturday, he would have
prevented me from going.
If he had come yesterday, I should /
would have told him about it.
含义:He did not come yesterday, so I did not
tell him about it.
If he had not been ill and missed many classes, he would
have made greater progress.
含义: He was ill and missed many lessons, so he
did not make greater progress.
c. 表示对将来的假想
句型: 条件从句
主句
一般过去时 should+ 动词原形
were+ 不定式 would + 动词原形
should+ 动词原形
If you succeeded, everything would be all right.
If you
should succeed, everything would be all right.
If you were to succeed,
everything would be all right.
3 混合条件句
主句与从句的动作发生在不同的时间,这时主,从句谓语动词的虚拟语气形式因时间不同而不同,这叫做混合条件句。
If you had asked him
yesterday, you would know what to do now.
(从句与过去事实相反,主句与现在事实相反。)
If it
had rained last night (过去), it would be very cold today (现在).
4 虚拟条件句的倒装
虚拟条件句的从句部分如果含有were, should,
或had, 可将if省略,再把were, should或had 移到从句句首,实行倒装。
Were they here now, they could
help us.
=If they were here now, they could help us.
Had you come
earlier, you would have met him
=If you had come earlier, you would have met
him.
Should it rain, the crops would be saved.
=Were it to rain, the
crops would be saved.
注意:
在虚拟语气的从句中,动词'be'的过去时态一律用"were",不用was,
即在从句中be用were代替。
If I were you, I would go to look for him.
如果我是你,就会去找他。
If he were here, everything would be all right.
如果他在这儿,一切都会好的。
典型例题
_____ to do the work, I should do it some other
day.
A. If were I B. I were C. Were I D. Was I
答案C. 在虚拟条件状语中如果有were,
should, had这三个词,通常将if省略,主语提前, 变成 were, should, had
+主语的形式。但要注意,在虚拟条件状语从句中,省略连词的倒装形式的句首不能用动词的缩略形式。如我们可说 Were I not to do., 而不能说
Weren't I to do.
5 特殊的虚拟语气词:should
1) It is demanded / necessary /
a pity + that…结构中的主语从句的谓语动词要用should 加动词原形, should
可省略。
句型:
(1)suggested
It is (2)important that…+ (should)
do
(3) a pity
(1)suggested, ordered, proposed, required,
demanded, requested, insisted; + (should) do
(2)important, necessary,
natural, strange
a pity, a shame, no wonder
(3)It is suggested that we
(should) hold a meeting next week.
It is necessary that he (should)
come to our meeting
tomorrow.
2)在宾语从句中的应用
在表示命令、建议、要求等一类动词后面的从句中。
order, suggest,
propose, require, demand, request, insist, command, insist + (should) do
I
suggest that we (should) hold a meeting next week.
He insisted that he
(should ) be sent there.
注意: 如suggest, insist不表示"建议"
或"坚持要某人做某事时",即它们用于其本意"暗示、表明"、"坚持认为"时,宾语从句用陈述语气。
The guard at gate insisted
that everybody obey the rules.
判断改错:
(错) You pale face suggests
that you (should) be ill.
(对) Your pale face suggests that you are
ill.
(错) I insisted that you ( should) be wrong.
(对) I insisted that
you were wrong.
3)在表语从句,同位语从句中的应用
在suggestion, proposal, idea, plan,
order, advice等名词后面的表语从句、同位语从句中要用虚拟语气,即(should)+动词原形。
My idea is that we
(should) get more people to attend the conference.
I make a proposal that
we (should) hold a meeting next
week.
6 wish的用法
1)用于wish后面的从句,表示与事实相反的情况,或表示将来不太可能实现的愿望。其宾语从句的动词形式为:
真实状况 wish后
从句动作先于主句动词动作 现在时 过去时
(be的过去式为
were)
从句动作与主句动作同时发生 过去时 过去完成时
(had +
过去分词)
将来不大可能实现的愿望 将来时 would/could
+
动词原形
I wish I were as tall as
you. 我希望和你一样高。
He wished he hadn't said that. 他希望他没讲那样的话。
I wish it
would rain tomorrow. 我希望明天下雨就好了。
2)Wish to do表达法。
Wish sb / sth to
do
I wish to see the manager. = I want to see the manager.
I wish the
manager to be informed at once. (= I want the manager to be informed at
once.)
7 比较if only与only if
only if表示"只有";if
only则表示"如果……就好了"。If only也可用于陈述语气。
I wake up only if the alarm clock rings.
只有闹钟响了,我才会醒。
If only the alarm clock had rung. 当时闹钟响了,就好了。
If only
he comes early. 但愿他早点回来。
8 It is (high) time that
It is (high) time that
后面的从句谓语动词要用过去式或用should加动词原形,但should不可省略。
It is time that the children went
to bed.
It is high time that the children should go to
bed.
9 need "不必做"和"本不该做"
didn't need to do表示: 过去不必做某事,
事实上也没做。.
needn't have done表示: 过去不必做某事, 但事实上做了。
John went to the station
with the car to meet Mary, so she didn't need to walk back home.
约翰开车去车站接玛丽,所以她不必步行回家了。
John went to the station with the car to meet Mary,
so she needn't have walked back home. 约翰开车去车站接玛丽,所以她本不必步行回家了。
(Mary步行回家,没有遇上John的车。)
典型例题
There was plenty of time. She ___.
A.
mustn't have hurried B. couldn't have hurried C. must not hurry D. needn't
have hurried
答案D。needn't have done. 意为"本不必",即已经做了某事,而时实际上不必要。
Mustn't
have done 用法不正确,对过去发生的事情进行否定性推断应为couldn't have done, "不可能已经"。 must not do
不可以(用于一般现在时)。
17. 名词性从句
在句子中起名词作用的句子叫名词从句 (Noun
Clauses)。 名词从句的功能相当于名词词组,
它在复合句中能担任主语、宾语、表语、同位语、介词宾语等,因此根据它在句中不同的语法功能,名词从句又可分别称为主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句和同位语从句。
1 引导名词性从句的连接词
引导名词性从句的连接词可分为三类:
连接词:that,whether,if 不充当从句的任何成分)
连接代词:what, whatever, who, whoever,
whom,
whose, which.
连接副词:when, where, how, why
不可省略的连词:
1. 介词后的连词
2. 引导主语从句和同位语从句的连词不可省略。
That she was
chosen made us very happy.
We heard the news that our team had
won.
比较:whether与if 均为"是否"的意思。 但在下列情况下,whether 不能被if 取代:
1.
whether引导主语从句并在句首
2. 引导表语从句
3. whether从句作介词宾语
4. 从句后有"or not"
Whether he will come is not clear.
大部分连接词引导的主语从句都可以置于句末,用
it充当形式主语。
It is not important who will go.
It is still unknown which
team will win the match.
2 名词性that-从句
1)由从属连词that引导的从句叫做名词性that-从句。
That只起连接主句和从句的作用,在从句中不担任任何成分,本身也没有词义。名词性that-从句在句中能充当主
语、宾语、表语、同位语和形容词宾语,例如:
主语:That he is still alive is sheer luck.
他还活着全靠运气。
宾语:John said that he was leaving for London on
Wednesday. 约翰说他星期三要到伦敦去。
表语:The fact is that he has not been seen
recently. 事实是近来谁也没有见过他。
同位语:The fact that he has not been seen recently
disturbs everyone in his office.
近来谁也没有见过他,这一事实令办公室所有的人不安。
形容词宾语:I am glad that you are satisfied with your
job.
你对工作满意我感到很高兴。
2)That-从句作主语通常用it作先行词,而将that-从句置于句末,例如:
It
is quite clear that the whole project is doomed to
failure. 很清楚,整个计划注定要失败。
It's a pity that you should have to
leave. 你非走不可真是件憾事。
用it作形式主语的that-从句有以下四种不同的搭配关系:
a. It + be
+形容词+ that-从句
It is necessary that… 有必要……
It is important
that… 重要的是……
It is obvious that… 很明显……
b. It + be +
-ed 分词+ that-从句
It is believed that… 人们相信……
It is known to all
that… 从所周知……
It has been decided that… 已决定……
c. It + be
+名词+ that-从句
It is common knowledge that… ……是常识
It is a surprise
that… 令人惊奇的是……
It is a fact that… 事实是……
d. It +不及物动词+
that-分句
It appears that… 似乎……
It happens
that… 碰巧……
It occurred to me that… 我突然想起……
3 名词性wh-从句
1)由wh-词引导的名词从句叫做名词性wh-从句。Wh-词包括who, whom,. whose, whoever, what,
whatever, which, whichever等连接代词和where, when, how,
why等连接副词。Wh-从句的语法功能除了和that-从句一样外,还可充当介词宾语、宾语补语和间接宾语等,例如:
主语: How the book
will sell depends on its author. 书销售如何取决于作者本人。
直接宾语:In one's own home one
can do what one likes. 在自己家里可以随心所欲。
间接宾语:The club will give whoever wins
a prize.
俱乐部将给得胜者设奖。
表语: My question is who will take over president
of the Foundation. 我的问题是谁将接任该基金会主席职位。
宾语补足语:She will name him whatever
she wants to. 她高兴给他起什么名字就取什么名字。
同位语: I have no idea when he will
return.
我不知道他什么时候回来。
形容词宾语:I'm not sure why she refused their
invitation. 我尚不能肯定她为什么拒绝他们的邀请。
介词宾语: That depends on where we shall
go.
那取决于我们去哪儿。
2)Wh-从句作主语也常用先行词it做形式主语,而将wh-从句置于句末,例如:
It is not
yet decided who will do that job.
还没决定谁做这项工作。
It remains unknown when
they are going to get married.
他们何时结婚依然不明。
4 if, whether引导的名词从句
1)yes-no型疑问从句
从属连词if,
whether引导的名词从句是由一般疑问句或选择疑问转化而来的,因此也分别被称为yes-no型疑问句从句和选择型疑问从句,其功能和wh-从句的功能相同,
例如:
主语:Whether the plan is feasible remains to be proved.
这一计划是否可行还有等证实。
宾语:Let us know whether / if you can finish the
article before Friday. 请让我们知道你是否能在星期五以前把文章写完。
表语:The point is
whether we should lend him the money. 问题在于我们是否应该借钱给他。
同位语:They are
investigating the question whether the man is
trustworthy. 他们调查他是否值得信赖。
形容词宾语: She's doubtful whether we shall be
able to come. 她怀疑我们是否能够前来。
介词宾语: I worry about whether he can pass
through the crisis of his illness. 我担心他是否能度过疾病的危险期。
2)选择性疑问从句
选择性疑问从句由关联词if/whether…or或whethe…or not构成,例如:
Please tell me whether / if
they are Swedish or Danish. 请告诉我他们是瑞典人还是丹麦人。
I don't care whether you like
the plan or not.我不在乎你是否喜欢该计划。
5 否定转移
1) 将think, believe, suppose,
expect, fancy, imagine等动词后面宾语从句的否定词转移到主句中,即主句的谓语动词用否定式,而从句的谓语动词用肯定式。
I
don't think I know you. 我想我并不认识你。
I don' t believe he will
come. 我相信他不回来。
注意:若谓语动词为hope,宾语从句中的否定词不能转移。
I hope you weren't ill.
我想你没有生病吧。
2) 将seem, appear 等后的从句的否定转移到前面。
It doesn't seem that they
know where to go.
看来他们不知道往哪去。
It doesn't appear that we'll have a
sunny day tomorrow.
看来我们明天不会碰上好天气。
3)
有时将动名词,介词短语或整个从句的否定转变为对谓语动词的否定。
I don't remember having ever seen such a
man.
我记得从未见过这样一个人。 (not否定动名词短语 having…)
It's not a place where
anyone would expect to see strange characters on the street.
在这里,人们不会想到在街上会碰上陌生的人。
(anyone 作主语,从句中的谓语动词不能用否定形式。)
4)
有时状语或状语从句中否定可以转移到谓语动词前。
The ant is not gathering this for itself
alone. (否定状语) 蚂蚁不只是为自己采食。
He was not ready to believe something
just because Aristotle said so. (否定because状语)
他并不因亚里斯多德说过如何如何,就轻信此事。
She had not been married many weeks when that
man's younger brother saw her and was struck by her beauty. (否定状语many
weeks) 她结婚还不到几个月,这个人的弟弟就看见她了,并对她的美貌着了迷。 |
