一、定义：
所谓“主谓一致”，就是指主语和谓语在人称和数上保持一致（谓语必须受主语的人称和数的支配）。
二、主谓一致的三种原则：
1.语法一致原则
2.意义一致原则
3．就近原则
1．语法一致原则
主语为单数形式，谓语动词用单数形式；主
语为复数形式，谓语动词为复数形式。如：
1）我经常帮助他，他经常帮助我。
I often help him and he often helps me.
2）我们经常互相帮助，互相学习。
We often help each other and learn from each other.
2．意义一致原则
（1）主语形式虽为单数，但意义为复数，谓语
动词用复数。如：
人群已把那位政府官员围住了。
The crowd have surrounded the government
official.
单数形式表达复数概念的词有：people, police, cattle（牛） 如：
中国人民勇敢而又勤劳。
The Chinese people are brave and hard-working.
（2）主语形式为复数，而意义上却是单数，谓
语动词用单数。如：
《远大前程》是查尔斯·狄更斯1860年所著。
Great Expectations ＿＿＿( be) written by Charles
Dickens in 1860.
形复意单的单词有：news, works(著作) 和一些以s结尾的书名、组织机构的名称（如：“The Selected Poems of Li Bai”, the United States, the United
Nations）以及以ics结尾的学科名称（如：
physics, politics, maths, economics等）。
was
3．就近原则
就近原则即谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语。
（1）并列主语用连词or, either…or…, neither…nor…, not only…but also…等连接，谓语应同相邻的主语保持人称和数的一致。如：
1) Bob or his parents _____(be) waiting in the
room now．
2) Not only the students but also the teacher
________(enjoy) listening to the music.
3) Either you or he _____ (be) wrong
______(be )either you or he wrong
are
enjoys
Are
is
（2）在there be 表存在的句式中，主语是两个
或多个名词（短语）的并列时，be 的形
式与第一个名词（短语）一致。如：
There _____(be) a pen, two knives and several books on the table.
=There ______(be) two knives, a pen and several books on the table.
桌子上有一支钢笔、两把小刀和几本书。
is
are
（3）副词或介词短语在句首的倒装句中，必须认
准哪是主语。
① Between the two buildings ________(stand) a
monument.
②On the ship _______(be) over 2, 200 people.
More than 1,500 people lost their lives. Among
those ______(be) the young woman.
stands

三、应注意的情况：
（一）名词作主语
1．某些集体名词，如family, team等作主语时，如果作为一个整体看待，谓语动词用单数形式，如果就其中一个个成员而言，谓语动词用复数形式。如：
My family _____(be) large.
（看作一整体）
My family all ______(like) music.
（指家庭中一个个成员之和）
is
like
属于这类的集体名词还有：audience, class, club,
company, crew, crowd, group, government,
party, public, staff 等。名词population一词的使
用情况类似。如：
Our class is a top class.
Our class are listening to the teacher.
The population（人口数量） of the earth is increasing very fast.
One third of the population（人口） in this country enjoy drinking coffee.
2．单、复数同形的名词作主语时，按意义一致的原则。作单数意义时，谓语动词用单数，反之，谓语动词用复数。这类名词有：sheep, fish, deer, means(方法), works(工厂), Chinese, Japanese等。如：
1) Every means ___________________(try out) without
much result.

much result.

不止一位同志已经要求留下。
Many a passenger _______(was/were) killed in the accident.
许多乘客在这一次事故中丧生。
但是“more＋复数名词＋than one”结构作主语时，谓语动词一般用复数形式。如：
More members than one are against your plan.
不止一位成员反对你的计划。
如果主语是more than one… 或many a…，
尽管从意义上看是复数内容，但它的谓语动词仍然用单数形式。
has
was
5．不定代词each / every / no +单数名词及
each…and (each)…, every…and (every)…,
no…and no…, many a …and many a…结构
作主语时，谓语动词仍用单数形式。如：

所有男的和女的都在工作。

表示成双成套的名词，如：chopsticks (筷子),
compasses（圆规）, clothes, glasses, jeans, scissors（剪刀）, shoes, socks, trousers等，作主语时, 谓语动词通常用复数形式；但如与a kind of, a pair of, the pair of, a series of 连用，作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。如：

7. this kind of book = a book of this kind （这种
书），其谓语动词用单数；短语this kind of books
= books of this kind（这类书），但this kind of
books作主语时，谓语动词用单数；books of this

这类书很受年轻人欢迎。
2. Books of this kind ______very popular with young people.
3.All kinds of flowers _______________(come out)in the valley already.
is
are
have come out
8．如果名词词组的中心词是all, most, rest, some, neither, none, no等词，所指是复数意义，谓语动词用复数形式；反之用单数。如：

1.用and或both…and连接并列主语，表示不
同概念，谓语动词常用复数。如：
1) 当时你和他都站在那里。
Then both you and he ______________ (stand) there .
2) 水和空气都很重要。
3) 岁月不待人。
Time and tide wait for no man.
were standing
Water and air are both important.
但并列结构充当主语表示整体概念时，即指的是同一人，同一物或同一概念，谓语动词用单数形式，这时and后面的名词没有冠词。
英语中并列结构表示整体概念的有：
（1）相关名词并列表示整体概念。如：
iron and steel 钢铁 law and order 治安
bread and butter 黄油面包
（2）配套事物表示整体概念。如：
a watch and chain 一块带链的表
a needle and thread 针线
a coat and tie 配有领带的上衣
A knife and fork is needed for a western meal.
吃西餐时要用刀和叉。
The cart and horse is coming.

（3）表示兼职或有多个称呼的人。如：
The worker and poet is his father.

2．当主语后面跟有as well as, as much as, no less than, along with, with, like, rather than, together with, but, except, besides, including, in addition to等引导的词组时，其谓语动词的单、复数按主语的单、复数而定。如：

He, like you and Xiao Li, is very clever.
3) Robbins先生明天将和妻子和孩子离开伦敦去巴黎。
Mr. Robbins, together with his wife and
children, is leaving London for Paris tomorrow.
(三) 代词作主语
1．名词性物主代词作主语时，根据它所替代的是单数还是复数来确定谓语动词的单、复数。如：
Theirs (their classroom) _______ (be) a big classroom.
Your trousers are black and mine ______(be) brown.
is
are
2．such, the same起指示代词作用，应根据其所指
的内容来确定单、复数。如：
这就是我们的计划。
Such is our plan.
这些就是我的愿望。
Such are my hopes.
The same has/ have happened.
3．关系代词which, who, that在定语从句中作主语时，其谓语动词的数应与其前的先行词的数保持一致。如：

your names here.
2) He is one of the students who______(be) good
at maths.
3) He is the only one of the children who often
______(speak) ill of others behind their backs.
want
are
speaks
在“one of +复数名词+who/ that/ which”引导的定语从
句中，关系代词who/ that/ which的先行词是靠近它的复
数名词而不是one，因此，从句中的动词应该是复数形式。
例如：
This is one of the most interesting questions that
________________(ask).
但是当one之前有the (only) 等修饰语时，关系代词的先行词是one，而不是靠近它的复数名词，因此从句的动词应是单数形式。例如：
She was the (only) one of the girls who _______late for the meeting.
have been asked
was
4．疑问代词who, what, which作主语时，谓语动
词可以根据说话人所要表达的意思决定单、复
数。如：
Who lives next door It’s Xiao Liu.
Who live next door It’s Zhang and Liu.
What is urgently wanted It’s money.
What are urgently wanted It’s more books.
5．不定代词any, either, neither, none, all, some,
more等作主语时，有以下两种情况：

单数或复数形式。例如：
Now all has been changed.
All are present at the meeting.
Some are my old classmates.
He gave me much advice. Some has been accepted.
2) either, neither单独作主语，谓语通常用单数。
但是后接of时，若of的宾语为不可数名词，谓
语动词当然用单数形式，若of的宾语为复数名
词或代词时，动词可以是单数，也可以是复
数，在正式文体中，单数形式的动词更为常用。
他们两个中有人懂英语吗？
Does (Do) either of them know English
他们两个中没人喜欢足球。
Neither of them likes (like) football.
（四）分数、量词作主语
“分数或百分数＋of＋名词”构成的短语及由“a
lot of, lots of, plenty of, half of ＋名词”构成的
短语作主语时，谓语动词的数与短语中of后面
的名词的数保持一致。如：
1) More than 70 percent of the surface of our
planet___________ (cover) by water.

（1）相关名词并列表示整体概念。如：
iron and steel 钢铁 law and order 治安
bread and butter 黄油面包
（2）配套事物表示整体概念。如：
a watch and chain 一块带链的表
a needle and thread 针线
a coat and tie 配有领带的上衣
A knife and fork is needed for a western meal.
吃西餐时要用刀和叉。
The cart and horse is coming.
马车来了。
（3）表示兼职或有多个称呼的人。如：
The worker and poet is his father.
这位工人兼诗人是他父亲.
这位教师兼作家正在会上发言。
The teacher and writer is speaking at the meeting.
（4）两个完全重合的概念并列。如：
目的 aim and end 真诚 truth and honesty
情感 love and affection
爱与被爱是幸福。
To love and to be loved is the great happiness.
早睡早起是好习惯。
Going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit.
2．当主语后面跟有as well as, as much as, no less than, along with, with, like, rather than, together with, but, except, besides, including, in addition to等引导的词组时，其谓语动词的单、复数按主语的单、复数而定。如：
1) 你的父亲还有你对我都非常好。
Your father as well as you is very kind to me.
2) 他象你和小李一样非常聪明。
He, like you and Xiao Li, is very clever.
3) Robbins先生明天将和妻子和孩子离开伦敦去巴黎。
Mr. Robbins, together with his wife and
children, is leaving London for Paris tomorrow.
(三) 代词作主语
1．名词性物主代词作主语时，根据它所替代的是单数还是复数来确定谓语动词的单、复数。如：
Theirs (their classroom) _______ (be) a big classroom.
Your trousers are black and mine ______(be) brown.
is
are
2．such, the same起指示代词作用，应根据其所指
的内容来确定单、复数。如：
这就是我们的计划。
Such is our plan.
这些就是我的愿望。
Such are my hopes.
The same has/ have happened.
3．关系代词which, who, that在定语从句中作主语时，其谓语动词的数应与其前的先行词的数保持一致。如：
1) Those who ______(want) to go should sign
your names here.
2) He is one of the students who______(be) good
at maths.
3) He is the only one of the children who often
______(speak) ill of others behind their backs.
want
are
speaks
在“one of +复数名词+who/ that/ which”引导的定语从
句中，关系代词who/ that/ which的先行词是靠近它的复
数名词而不是one，因此，从句中的动词应该是复数形式。
例如：
This is one of the most interesting questions that
________________(ask).
但是当one之前有the (only) 等修饰语时，关系代词的先行词是one，而不是靠近它的复数名词，因此从句的动词应是单数形式。例如：
She was the (only) one of the girls who _______late for the meeting.
have been asked
was
4．疑问代词who, what, which作主语时，谓语动
词可以根据说话人所要表达的意思决定单、复
数。如：
Who lives next door It’s Xiao Liu.
Who live next door It’s Zhang and Liu.
What is urgently wanted It’s money.
What are urgently wanted It’s more books.
5．不定代词any, either, neither, none, all, some,
more等作主语时，有以下两种情况：
1) 单独作主语，视其在文中的意义，动词可用
单数或复数形式。例如：
Now all has been changed.
All are present at the meeting.
Some are my old classmates.
He gave me much advice. Some has been accepted.
2) either, neither单独作主语，谓语通常用单数。
但是后接of时，若of的宾语为不可数名词，谓
语动词当然用单数形式，若of的宾语为复数名
词或代词时，动词可以是单数，也可以是复
数，在正式文体中，单数形式的动词更为常用。
他们两个中有人懂英语吗？
Does (Do) either of them know English
他们两个中没人喜欢足球。
Neither of them likes (like) football.
（四）分数、量词作主语
“分数或百分数＋of＋名词”构成的短语及由“a
lot of, lots of, plenty of, half of ＋名词”构成的
短语作主语时，谓语动词的数与短语中of后面
的名词的数保持一致。如：
1) More than 70 percent of the surface of our
planet___________ (cover) by water.
我们星球的表面百分之七十多都被水覆盖着。
2) One third of the students ______(be) girls in
our group.

2.当“a (large) amount of / a (large) quantity of/ a mass of +….”作主语时,谓语动词要用单数形式。

1) A large quantity of people _________(need) here.

4．“a number of＋复数名词”作主语，谓语动词 用复数；“the number of＋复数名词”作主语, 谓语动词用单数。如：
1)A number of students ______ (be)going for a picnic this 这个周末许多学生将去野炊。
2)The number of days in February this year _____28. weekend.
3)The number of people invited ______ (be) fifty , but a number of them ____ absent for different reasons .
A. were ; was B. was ; was
C. was ; were D. were ; were
are

5．one and a half +复数形式= a/an+单数名词+ and a half,作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。如：
1) One and a half bananas has been eaten by the child.
2) An hour and a half is enough.
One banana and a half has been …
=One and a half hours is enough.
6．half of, (a) part of修饰可数名词单数及不可数名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数，修饰可数名词复数作主语时，谓语动词用复数。如：
1）Half of the building ______________________ (finish).
那幢大楼已经建了一半了。
2）Part of the glasses in the store ___________ (made) in Suzhou.
has been finished
are made
（五）名词化的形容词作主语
“the＋形容词（或过去分词或现在分词）”如：
the brave, the poor, the rich, the blind, the young,
the old, the sick, the wounded, the injured, the
unemployed, the dying, the living 等结构担任主语
表示一类人时，谓语动词常用复数形式；但也有少数
形容词或过去分词与定冠词连用指个别或表示抽象的概念
时，谓语动词用单数。如：

The injured in the accident is an engineer.
The beautiful attracts all the tourists.
六）一个动名词、不定式短语或从句作主语，谓语动词

2) Smoking is bad for health.
3) 他赢了这场比赛是我们众所周知的事。
