考点二 数词
数词分为基数词、序数词、分数、小数和概数。
规则1 表示事物数量的多少,特别是hundred,thousand,million, billion等,前面若有基数词或某些表示数量的形容词时,它们只能用单数形式;在表示不确切数目时,它们用复数,且后面加of再加所修饰的名词。two hundred people;millions of people。
规则2 序数词一般由“基数词+th”构成。以y结尾的基数词构成序数词时,先把y变为i,再加eth。如twentieth; fiftieth。常用的不规则的序数词有first, second, third, fifth, eighth, ninth, twelfth。序数词前通常要加定冠词the,但序数词不表示顺序而表示“再一,又一”时,前面要用不定冠词a/an。
规则3 年代的表达是“the+年代-s”或“the+年代-'s”。
规则4 分数的表达是分子用基数词,分母用序数词,当分子大于“1”时,分母要用复数形式。
误区之一 名词作主语时谓语动词单复数的误用
【误】 My dream school look like a big garden.
【正】 My dream school looks like a big garden.
[分析] look改为looks。主语my dream school是单数,故谓语也应该用单数。
误区之二 非谓语动词或从句作主语时主谓一致的误用
【误】 What I liked best were the free high-speed Internet connection in the room.
【正】 What I liked best was the free high-speed Internet connection in the room.
[分析] were改为was。名词性从句作主语时,谓语用单数。
误区之三 “就近”与“就远”原则主谓一致的误用
(1)【误】 The teacher, as well as his students, are going to see the film this afternoon.
【正】 The teacher, as well as his students, is going to see the film this afternoon.
[分析] are改为is。当as well as连接两个名词作主语时,谓语动词与前面的名词的形式保持一致。
(2)【误】 Not only my parents but also I are good at dancing and singing.
【正】 Not only my parents but also I am good at dancing and singing.
[分析] are改为am。not only…but also…连接主语时,谓语遵守就近一致原则。
误区之四 倒装句的主谓一致的误用
【误】 Among all my friends are a special one I'm most thankful to.
【正】 Among all my friends is a special one I'm most thankful to.
[分析] are改为is。此句是倒装句,主语a special one是单数,故谓语也用单数。

专题13 正反解读主谓一致和数词
【高考链接】
1.is 本句是动名词短语作主语,因此谓语动词使用单数形式。
2.were 此句是并列句,宾语从句的主语是knives,因此be应用复数形式,再结合前半句“Confucius believed knives would remind…”可知填be的过去式were。
3.is; takes and连接的是两个并列谓语,其主语都是不可数名词success,故谓语都用单数形式。句意:重要的是要记住,成功是每天的细小努力汇集而成的,常常需要多年的努力来达成。
4.is 句意:我们所需要的只是一小块在一年的成长季节里能够种植各种各样的果树的土地。all作主语时,如指复数概念,动词用复数;如指单数概念,动词用单数。根据后面的a small piece of land可知这里表示单数概念。
5.was invited as well as, together with, like等介词或介词短语连接并列主语时, 谓语动词应与介词或介词短语之前的主语保持一致。 此句复合介词前的主语是musician, 故谓语用单数。
