2018年PETS一级考试口试语法知识:主谓一致
(一)、主谓一致三原则
主谓一致是指谓语动词与主语在人称和数上保持一致,主谓一致必须遵循三原则:语法一致原则,意义一致原则,就近一致原则。
1. 语法一致原则:指主语是单数形式,谓语动词用单数形式,主语是复数形式,谓语也用复数形式。
Tom ________(is / are)a good student. 汤姆是个好学生。
They often ________(plays / play)football on the playground. 他们经常在操场上踢足球。
2. 意义一致原则:指主语形式上为单数,但意义为复数,因此谓语动词用复数形式;或主语形式上为复数,但表示单数意义,这是谓语动词用单数形式。
My family ______(is / are)having lunch now. 我们一家人现在正吃午饭。
Twenty dollars ___(is / are)too expensive for the book. 这本书20美元太贵了。
3. 就近一致原则:指谓语动词用单数形式还是用复数形式,取决于最靠近它的主语。例如:
Not only the teacher but also his students _____(like / likes)playing football.
不仅老师喜欢踢足球,而且他的学生也喜欢踢足球。
There ________(is / are)a pen and some books on the desk. 课桌上有一支钢笔和一些书。
