Subject ---Verb Agreement
(主谓一致)
主谓一致指主语和谓语动词之间在“人称”和“数”方面的一致关系,即:
1) 语法形式上要一致,即单复数形式与谓语要一致;
2) 意义上要一致,即主语意义上的单复数要与谓语的单复数形式一致;
3) 就近原则,即谓语动词的单复形式取决于最靠近它的词语。
即主语是单数形式,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 very clever.
Two girls were standing on the corner.
There is no milk in the bottle.

It is important to remember that success ________ (be) a sum of small efforts made each day and often ________ (take) years to achieve.
典型例题
is
takes
【解析】主谓一致指“人称”和“数”方面的一致关系。根据分析,第一空的谓语要填一个单数,因为此宾语从句:…that success a sum of…的主语是success,一个单数名词,故谓语要用is;后面的句子:…often ___ years to achieve.的主语也是success,故第二空的谓语也是一个单数形式。
All we need ______ a small piece of land where we can plant various kinds of fruit trees throughout the growing seasons of the year.
解析:考查主谓一致。句意:所有我们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。
is

are

is
