英语中主谓一致的用法
主谓一致的定义
主谓一致是指谓语在人称和数上必须和主语的人称和数保持一致。这是英语语法中必须遵循的基本规则,也是英语和汉语区别很大的地方。
主谓一致的三大原则
一、语法一致原则
二、意义一致原则
三、就近原则
一、语法一致原则
主语为单数或不可数形式,则谓语动词也用单数形式;
主语为复数形式,则谓语动词也用复数形式。
I
often
help
him
and
he
often
helps
me.
We
often
help
each
other.
二、意义一致
主语形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,则谓语动词用复数;
主语形式为复数,而意义为单数,则谓语动词用单数。
The
crowd
were
surrounding
the
government
official.
Maths
is
hard
to
learn.
三、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主语。
There
is
a
pen
and
two
pencils
on
the
desk.
