主谓一致
知识清单
概念:主谓一致主要是指_______________动词与主语在人称和数上保持一致。
遵循的三个基本原则:语法一致、意义一致、就近原则。
考点聚焦
一、第三人称单数作主语时,一般现在时中谓语动词的形式:实义动词加"-s"或"-es",其规则与名词变复数类似。
即:以s,x,ch,sh结尾的动词加"____________ ";有些以o结尾的动词要加"____________",如goes, does;而以辅音字母加"y"结尾的动词变y为"",其他加"-s"。

一些连词连接多个主语时,谓语动词的形式遵循“______”,即谓语动词与与之接近的一个主语相一致。这样的连词有:or,either....or....;neither....nor....;not only...but also;whether...or...等以及there/here be。
易错辨析:
主语前或后的介词引出的名词、代词为状语或定语,而非主语,如:with虽有“和”、“带着”、“用”等意,谓语应与中心词一致,而不受介词短语影响,这就是所谓的“___________”原则。名词、代词作主语后有介词短语时或定语从句、分词短语、不定式短语作定语时,以及插入语(通常用逗号隔开),谓语与中心词(离谓语较远)一致,而不受短语、从句中的名词、代词的影响。
