主谓一致是指句子的______与_____在_____和____上必须保持一致
主谓一致的三个原则:1. 语法一致2. 意义一致3. 就近原则
一、语法一致的原则即主语是单数,谓语为单数;主语若为复数,谓语亦为复数。 谓语的动词要与主语的人称和数一致。
归纳1:由and 连接的两个单数名词做主语时,谓动一般用复数。
1、A young man and a girl ______ to go there.
2、The singer and the writer ______famous to many young people.
Both Jack and Tim _____ diving.
The singer and dancer _____ on the stage.
A knife and fork_____used to have meals.
归纳2 : 由 and 连接的并列主语,如果主语是同一个人,同一事,同一概念时,谓语动词用单数,否则用复数这时后面的名词没有冠词。
二、意义一致的原则指谓语动词的单复数取决于主语所表达的概念,而不取决于表面的语法标志,主要表现为某些集体名词后可跟动词单数或复数。如果这些集体名词指整体概念时,谓语动词用单数;指具体成员时用复数。
归纳3:用and 连接的成对名词习惯上被看成是一个整体, 如: bread and butter, knife and fork 等作主语时(由两个部件配成的物品), 谓语动词用单数.
1.Each man and woman ______ the same rights.
A. has B. have C. had D. is having
归纳4:由each, every, no, many a(许多) 所修饰的名词,即使用 and 连接作主语,谓语动词一般用单数。Many a ,more than one修饰可数名词复数形式,谓语动词也用单数。翻译为许多……
2. Many a man ___________the story.
3.The group ____ made up of nine students.
4.The group____ dancing happily.
归纳5:集体名词做主语时的主谓一致。由集体名词,如group, family, class, government, team, public,
enemy, crowd, company, audience, club, party, crew等作主语时, 如果看成一个整体(强调整体),谓语动词用单数形式, 如果看成其中各成员,(强调个体)则用复数形式.
注意:集体名词为 people, police, cattle,谓语动词用复数.
e.g. The police are searching for the thief.
The team ____ some good players. (have)
The team ____ handsome. (be)
practice:1
1.The research group ______ (is, are) made up of five people.

3.Our family_______ (is, are) not poor any more.
4.He has to worry. His family_______ (is, are) waiting for him.
5.The class_______ (is, are) more than forty in number.
归纳6:代词none 和neither 有时用作单数看待, 有时作复数看待, 主要根据说话人的意思决定. 但是代表不可数名词时, 只看作单数;neither 作形容词时与单数名词连用, 谓语动词用单数.
practice3
1.None of these people ___ doctors.
A. has B. is C. are D. was
2.Neither of them ___ a good singer.
A. are B. is C. were D. is used to be

1.Bob _____ a worker.
2.Mike and Bob _____ workers.
3.Both Mike and Bob _______workers.
4.Neither Mike nor Bob _______a teacher.
5.Neither of them _______(know) how to teach English.
6.None of them ___________ (know) how to teach English.
