可数名词有单数和复数的变化，而单复数的变化又分为规则变化和不规则变化两种。
分 类 变化方法 举 例
规则变化 单数名词词尾直接加-s boy — boys pen — pens
以s，x ，ch，sh结尾的单词一般加-es glass—glasses box—boxes watch—watches brush—brushes特例：stomach — stomachs
以“辅音字母+y”结尾的变“y”为“i”再加“-es” baby—babies lady —ladies注意：penny的两种复数形式含义有所不同：pence（便士的钱数） pennies(便士的枚数)
以“o”结尾的多数加-s radios zoos photos pianos kilos tobaccos 而下列名词的复数却要加-es：tomato — tomatoes potato — potatoes hero — heroes
以“f”或“fe”结尾的名词复数形式变“f”或“fe”为“v”，之后再加-es wife—wives self — selves特例：handkerchief—handkerchiefs gulf—gulfs belief—beliefs
不规则变化 改变名词中的元音字母或其他形式 man-men woman-women foot-feet goose-geese mouse-mice 特例：child-children
单复数相同 sheep deer means（方法） works（作品、工厂、著作）
合成名词变成复数的情况：●将主体名词变为复数●无主体名词时将最后一部分变为复数●将两部分都变为复数 ●sons-in-law lookers-on passers-by story-tellers boy friends●grown-ups housewives stopwatches●women singers men servants
在熟悉以上规则的基础上，特别注意以下几点：
1.注意以下名词数的概念
①以s结尾，仍为单数的名词(多为学科名词)
physics, linguistics, mathematics, politics, statistics, news, the United States
②集合名词：表示一类事物的集合或总称，没有复数形式
machinery, furniture, equipment, technology, luggage, baggage, homework, evidence
③单数和复数形式表达不同的意思
custom风俗，习惯—customs海关 damage损害—damages赔偿金
good好处，利益—goods货物 time时间—times时代，次数，倍数
fish 鱼肉—fishes 各种鱼 paper 纸—papers 试卷，文件
water 水—waters 水域 room 空间—rooms 房间
time 时间—times 时代 arm 手臂—arms 武器
④有些抽象名词有时以复数形式出现，表示具体化，意义发生变化或构成固定短语。
use one’s brains动脑筋 meet with difficulties遇到各种困难
make preparations做准备 in high spirits 情绪高涨
good manners有礼貌 Many thanks.非常感谢。
No pains, no gains.不劳无获。 congratulations祝贺
possessions所有物，财产 surroundings环境
⑤有些物质名词以复数形式出现，表示数量之多，范围之广。
burst into tears 大哭起来 miles of golden sands 绵延几英里的金黄色沙滩
burn to ashes 烧成灰烬
⑥形式上虽是单数，但表示的是复数含义
people, police, cattle, staff, public, the＋adj.(the rich富人), the＋ 分词(the wounded伤员)
2.集体名词的数
family, team, audience, class, club, committee, crowd, group, enemy, cattle, government, majority, minority, part, people, police, public, staff等集体名词注意其主谓一致，一般来说，视为整体时作单数看待，侧重其成员时则作复数看待。
The enemy has suffered heavy losses.
The enemy are in flight.
名词所有格的规则如下：
①名词词尾加’s，如the boy’s bag, men’s room。
②若名词已有复数词尾“s”，只加 “‘”。如：the workers’ struggle。
③由of构成的所有格：无生命名词的所有格则必须用of结构。
如：a map of China，the end of this term，the capital of our country, the color of the flowers。
在熟悉以上规则的基础上，特别注意以下几点：
1.如果两个名词并列，并且分别有“‘s”，则表示“分别有”；只有一个“‘s”，则表示“共有”。
John’s and Mary’s rooms(分别拥有的房间)
John and Mary’s room(共有的一间)
2.“‘s”所有格的特殊表达形式
①用于表示时间、距离、价格、重量等的名词后。
today’s newspaper, five minutes’ walk(drive)，five pounds’ weight, ten dollars’ worth of apples。
②用于表示国家、世界、城市等地方的名词后。
the earth’s plant, the world’s population, China’s industry, New York’s parks。
③表示店铺或某人的家时，常在名词所有格后省去shop，house等名词。
the tailor’s 裁缝店，the barber’s理发店，go to the doctor’s上诊所。
3.双重所有格：of ＋名词’s(或+名词性物主代词)
a friend of Tom’s some/two students of mine
尤其是在表示赞扬、批评或厌恶等感彩时常常用这种结构。of 所修饰的名词前通常有指示代词that/this/these/those，但不能用the。
That invention of hers belongs to the world.她的那项发明是属于全世界的。(表赞赏)
注意：当of 之前的名词是picture, portrait等词时含义不同：
This is a picture of my friend’s.这是我朋友收藏的一幅画。
This is a picture of my friend.这是我朋友的一张照片。
名词作定语是现代英语较为简洁的修饰语表达方式，根据习惯搭配可归为以下几类：
1.表示中心词的用途、功能、材料
stone figures石像，shoe shop鞋店，coffee cup咖啡杯
2.表示中心词的时间、地点、称呼。
summer holidays暑假，school education学校教育，evening dress晚礼服
注意：表具体的时间名词作定语，则要用所有格结构来表达。
yesterday’s news昨天的消息 an hour’s drive开车一小时的路程
3.表示中心词的类别、对象、身份。
bike key自行车的钥匙，animal trainer驯兽师，woman driver女驾驶员
4.表示中心词的内容
computer studies电脑学习，weather report天气预报，film industry电影工业
5.表示部分与整体的关系
river banks河岸，animal bones动物骨头，cigarette ends烟头
名词作定语时的特别注意点：
①名词作定语时，一般用其单数形式，且不随后面的名词的单复数产生变化
two pencil boxes, girl friends, a seven-year-old boy
但是，少数的名词作定语却用复数形式。
sports shoes 运动鞋 clothes shops 服装店
a sales girl女销售员 a greetings card 贺卡
②man和woman作定语要注意其单复数形式的变化
a man doctor—men doctors; a woman engineer—women engineers
③名词作定语和所有格作定语的区别。
the girl friend女朋友—the girl's friend那位女孩的朋友
the woman driver女司机—the woman's driver那位妇女的司机
④名词作定语和形容词作定语的区别
名词作定语主要说明物质的材料、来源或对象；形容词作定语主要起修饰、限定的作用。
gold watch金表 golden sunshine金色的阳光
heart trouble心脏病 hearty welcome热忱的欢迎
convenience food快餐 convenient food制作方便的食品

在英语的句子中，谓语动词的形式应与主语的人称和数保持一致。近几年来，高考关于该内容的考查主要集中在语法一致、逻辑意义一致以及就近（远）一致原则等三个方面。
一、语法一致原则
只要确定句子的主语是单数意义，则谓语用单数，句子的主语意义复数，则谓语用复数。具体表现如下：
1.不可数名词作主语，一律视为单数。某些以s结尾的单数名词作主语，仍视为单数。
No news is good news.
His task was to collect information.
How much machinery has been installed
2.表示单一概念的动名词、不定式或句子作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
When and where to go for the on－salary holiday has not been decided yet.
3. “ one, either, neither, each of ＋复数名词或代词”作主语时， 谓语用单数。
Either of the stories is very funny.
4.something, everything, anything, nothing，somebody, nobody, no one 等不定代词作主语，谓语通常是单数。
Nothing is impossible.
5.表示时间、金钱、距离、重量、数量的复数名词作主语，通常看作一个整体，谓语动词用单数。
Ten pounds was missing from the box.
6. a series of, a kind of, a piece of, a pair of 等量词修饰名词，通常以量词的单复数形式来决定谓语的单复数。
This pair of glasses is very expensive.
Two series of new stamps have been ordered.
7.a number of ＋复数名词，“许多……”，复数意义；the number of ＋复数名词，“……的数目”，单数意义。the population of…“……的人口数量”作主语时，谓语用单数，但如果是分数、百分数、half of, the rest of the population 作主语时，具体指其中的多少人，复数意义，谓语则用复数。the average of…“……的平均数量”，作主语时，谓语用单数。
The number of the students in our school is quite large and a number of teachers work hard.
The population of China is large and most of the population are farmers.
8.主语后with, together with, along with, except, besides, as well as 等短语时，谓语动词的数要和这些短语前面的名词的单复数保持一致。(因为with等词为介词，其后跟的名词只能是介宾，不可能充当主语。)
Mr. Green together with his children goes to the park every Sunday.
9.“the ＋adj.”结构指一类人时，谓语动词用复数；如果指个别人或表示抽象的概念，谓语动词用单数。
The disabled are well taken care of in this country.
The dead in this accident was 20, a girl from Nanjing University.
The new is certain to replace the old.
10.分数、百分数、all, some, the rest, half of, most of, part of 等作主语时，谓语动词的单复数根据其指代的含义确定。
The rest of the workers are still very tired.
11.当and连接两个并列主语在意义上指同一人、同一物、同一事或者同一概念时，应看作单数，谓语动词用单数。另外，当and 连接两个形容词去修饰一个单数形式的主语时，其实是指两种不同的事物，主语则应该看作是复数， 那么谓语动词也应该用复数。
War and peace is a constant theme in history.
Chinese and Japanese silk are of good quality.
英语中并列结构表示整体概念的有：
iron and steel 钢铁 law and order 治安
bread and butter黄油面包 a watch and chain 一块带链的表
a knife and fork 一副刀叉 a coat and tie 一件配有领带的上衣
aim and end 目的 truth and honesty 真诚
12.what 引导的主语从句作主语时，谓语动词的单复数要取决于作表语的名词的单复数。
What surprised me most was his attitude towards his study.
13.such 作主语时，谓语动词的单复数形式要根据其意义而定。
Such is Stephen Hawking, who has suffered a great deal but achieved so much.
14.quantities of ＋名词作主语时，不论名词是复数还是不可数，谓语一律用复数。
a quantity of ＋名词复数作主语时，谓语用复数。
a quantity of ＋不可数名词作主语时，谓语用单数。
amounts of ＋不可数名词作主语时，谓语用复数。
an amount of ＋不可数名词作主语时，谓语用单数。
Every day quantities of water are wasted.
A large amount of damage has been done because of the floods.
二、逻辑意义一致原则
1.every /each/no ＋名词＋and every/ each/ no ＋名词作主语时，谓语用单数。
Every boy and every girl is having sports now.
2.“one ＋单数名词＋and a half”作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
One apple and a half was on the table.
3.“more than one ＋单数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。
More than one student has failed the exam.
4.“many a ＋单数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
Many a child was playing there.
【注意】以上四种情况，如果从意义上来讲，主语有复数意义，但由于名词都是以单数形式出现的，故谓语用单数形式，谓语形式上与主语的单数形式一致。
三、就近（远）一致原则
1.谓语动词的人称和数常常与最近作主语的词语保持一致。常出现在这类句子中的连词有：or, not…but…； either…or…， neither…nor…， not only…but also …等。
Either I or they are responsible for the result of the matter.
Neither the unkind words nor the unfriendly attitude has caused me any distress.
2.在倒装句中谓语可与后面最近的一个主语一致。
In the distance was heard the clapping of hands and the shouts of the people.
3.当there be 句型的主语是一系列事物时，谓语应与最邻近的主语保持一致。
There is a pen, a knife and several books on the desk.
There are twenty boy－students and twenty－three girl－students in the class.
4.当一个句子是由 there 或here引起，而主语又不止一个时，谓语通常和最靠近它的主语一致。
Here is a pen, a few envelopes and some paper in the drawer.
5.在定语从句中，关系代词如果在从句中作主语，依先行词决定从句谓语动词的单复数形式；在“one of＋复数名词＋who/that/which”引导的从句结构中，从句中的动词用复数形式；但是之前有the (only)等修饰语时，则从句中的动词用单数形式。
Mary is the only one of the students in our school who has ever been to China.
6.主语后面跟有“with, together with, except, but, like, as well as, no less than, rather than, more than, besides, along with, including, in addition to”等引起的短语，谓语动词要跟主语一致，即就远一致。
Mr. Green, together with his wife and children, has come to China.
A woman with a baby was on the bus.
Nobody but Jim and Mike was on the playground.
She like you and Tom, is very tall.
The girls as well as the boy have learned to speak Japanese.

可数名词有单数和复数的变化，而单复数的变化又分为规则变化和不规则变化两种。
分 类 变化方法 举 例
规则变化 单数名词词尾直接加-s boy — boys pen — pens
以s，x ，ch，sh结尾的单词一般加-es glass—glasses box—boxes watch—watches brush—brushes特例：stomach — stomachs
以“辅音字母+y”结尾的变“y”为“i”再加“-es” baby—babies lady —ladies注意：penny的两种复数形式含义有所不同：pence（便士的钱数） pennies(便士的枚数)
以“o”结尾的多数加-s radios zoos photos pianos kilos tobaccos 而下列名词的复数却要加-es：tomato — tomatoes potato — potatoes hero — heroes
以“f”或“fe”结尾的名词复数形式变“f”或“fe”为“v”，之后再加-es wife—wives self — selves特例：handkerchief—handkerchiefs gulf—gulfs belief—beliefs
不规则变化 改变名词中的元音字母或其他形式 man-men woman-women foot-feet goose-geese mouse-mice 特例：child-children
单复数相同 sheep deer means（方法） works（作品、工厂、著作）
合成名词变成复数的情况：●将主体名词变为复数●无主体名词时将最后一部分变为复数●将两部分都变为复数 ●sons-in-law lookers-on passers-by story-tellers boy friends●grown-ups housewives stopwatches●women singers men servants
在熟悉以上规则的基础上，特别注意以下几点：
1.注意以下名词数的概念
①以s结尾，仍为单数的名词(多为学科名词)
physics, linguistics, mathematics, politics, statistics, news, the United States
②集合名词：表示一类事物的集合或总称，没有复数形式
machinery, furniture, equipment, technology, luggage, baggage, homework, evidence
③单数和复数形式表达不同的意思
custom风俗，习惯—customs海关 damage损害—damages赔偿金
good好处，利益—goods货物 time时间—times时代，次数，倍数
fish 鱼肉—fishes 各种鱼 paper 纸—papers 试卷，文件
water 水—waters 水域 room 空间—rooms 房间
time 时间—times 时代 arm 手臂—arms 武器
④有些抽象名词有时以复数形式出现，表示具体化，意义发生变化或构成固定短语。
use one’s brains动脑筋 meet with difficulties遇到各种困难
make preparations做准备 in high spirits 情绪高涨
good manners有礼貌 Many thanks.非常感谢。
No pains, no gains.不劳无获。 congratulations祝贺
possessions所有物，财产 surroundings环境
⑤有些物质名词以复数形式出现，表示数量之多，范围之广。
burst into tears 大哭起来 miles of golden sands 绵延几英里的金黄色沙滩
burn to ashes 烧成灰烬
⑥形式上虽是单数，但表示的是复数含义
people, police, cattle, staff, public, the＋adj.(the rich富人), the＋ 分词(the wounded伤员)
2.集体名词的数
family, team, audience, class, club, committee, crowd, group, enemy, cattle, government, majority, minority, part, people, police, public, staff等集体名词注意其主谓一致，一般来说，视为整体时作单数看待，侧重其成员时则作复数看待。
The enemy has suffered heavy losses.
The enemy are in flight.
名词所有格的规则如下：
①名词词尾加’s，如the boy’s bag, men’s room。
②若名词已有复数词尾“s”，只加 “‘”。如：the workers’ struggle。
③由of构成的所有格：无生命名词的所有格则必须用of结构。
如：a map of China，the end of this term，the capital of our country, the color of the flowers。
在熟悉以上规则的基础上，特别注意以下几点：
1.如果两个名词并列，并且分别有“‘s”，则表示“分别有”；只有一个“‘s”，则表示“共有”。
John’s and Mary’s rooms(分别拥有的房间)
John and Mary’s room(共有的一间)
2.“‘s”所有格的特殊表达形式
①用于表示时间、距离、价格、重量等的名词后。
today’s newspaper, five minutes’ walk(drive)，five pounds’ weight, ten dollars’ worth of apples。
②用于表示国家、世界、城市等地方的名词后。
the earth’s plant, the world’s population, China’s industry, New York’s parks。
③表示店铺或某人的家时，常在名词所有格后省去shop，house等名词。
the tailor’s 裁缝店，the barber’s理发店，go to the doctor’s上诊所。
3.双重所有格：of ＋名词’s(或+名词性物主代词)
a friend of Tom’s some/two students of mine
尤其是在表示赞扬、批评或厌恶等感彩时常常用这种结构。of 所修饰的名词前通常有指示代词that/this/these/those，但不能用the。
That invention of hers belongs to the world.她的那项发明是属于全世界的。(表赞赏)
注意：当of 之前的名词是picture, portrait等词时含义不同：
This is a picture of my friend’s.这是我朋友收藏的一幅画。
This is a picture of my friend.这是我朋友的一张照片。
名词作定语是现代英语较为简洁的修饰语表达方式，根据习惯搭配可归为以下几类：
1.表示中心词的用途、功能、材料
stone figures石像，shoe shop鞋店，coffee cup咖啡杯
2.表示中心词的时间、地点、称呼。
summer holidays暑假，school education学校教育，evening dress晚礼服
注意：表具体的时间名词作定语，则要用所有格结构来表达。
yesterday’s news昨天的消息 an hour’s drive开车一小时的路程
3.表示中心词的类别、对象、身份。
bike key自行车的钥匙，animal trainer驯兽师，woman driver女驾驶员
4.表示中心词的内容
computer studies电脑学习，weather report天气预报，film industry电影工业
5.表示部分与整体的关系
river banks河岸，animal bones动物骨头，cigarette ends烟头
名词作定语时的特别注意点：
①名词作定语时，一般用其单数形式，且不随后面的名词的单复数产生变化
two pencil boxes, girl friends, a seven-year-old boy
但是，少数的名词作定语却用复数形式。
sports shoes 运动鞋 clothes shops 服装店
a sales girl女销售员 a greetings card 贺卡
②man和woman作定语要注意其单复数形式的变化
a man doctor—men doctors; a woman engineer—women engineers
③名词作定语和所有格作定语的区别。
the girl friend女朋友—the girl's friend那位女孩的朋友
the woman driver女司机—the woman's driver那位妇女的司机
④名词作定语和形容词作定语的区别
名词作定语主要说明物质的材料、来源或对象；形容词作定语主要起修饰、限定的作用。
gold watch金表 golden sunshine金色的阳光
heart trouble心脏病 hearty welcome热忱的欢迎
convenience food快餐 convenient food制作方便的食品
名词是英语的主要词汇之一，也是历年高考的重要考点。综合近几年高考对名词的考查，单项填空题中，每年都出现1—2道题。此外，在阅读理解和完形填空中，名词的一词多义、熟词新意也经常涉及。因此，在备考中一定要结合具体的语境去感悟、理解名词的辨析、名词的一词多义以及名词的习惯用法等。
①We always keep ______ spare paper, in case we ran out.
A. too much B. a number of C. plenty of D. a good many
【解析】 答案为C。“paper”作为“纸”解释时为不可数名词，所以先排除B和D两个选项。根据题意“我们总是准备充足的备用纸张，以防用光。”选择答案C。too much意为“太多”尽管修饰不可数名词，但用在这儿不符合题意。
②The young dancers looked so charming in their beautiful clothes that we took ___ pictures of them.
A. many of B. masses of C. the number of D. a large amount of
【解析】答案为B。【解析】答案为masses of 意为“大量的”既可修饰可数名词又可修饰不可数名词；the number of…意为“……的数量”；a large amount of意为“大量的”后接不可数名词；“many of”后接前面带有定冠词的名词，意为“……中的许多”。
The village is far away from here indeed. It's ____ walk.
A. a four hour B. a four hour's C. a four-hours D. a four hours'
【解析】答案为D。“walk, ride, drive”等用做名词可用来表示一般距离，其用法结构为：“时间名词的所有格+这些名词”。
①The_________ is just around the corner and you won’t miss it.
A. bicycle’s shop B .bicycle shop C. bicycles shop D bicycles’ shop
【解析】答案为B。表示什么样的商店要用单数名词修饰“shop”。
②He dropped the _________and broke it.
A. cup of coffee B. coffee's cup C. cup for coffee D. coffee cup
【解析】答案为D。coffee cup意为“ 咖啡杯”是指“用来喝咖啡的杯子”。名词作定语修饰名词。
一是考查语义方面的辨析：主要考查某些多义词在特定上下文中的引申含义,以及准确辨别一些同义、近义词在特定语境中的差异的能力。
①Most air pollution is caused by the burning of___ _ like coal, gas and oil.
A. fuels B. articles C. goods D. products
【解析】答案为A。由题干中的“coal，gas，oil”可知都是燃料，故正确答案A项意为“燃料”。articles意为“物品”；goods意为“货物、商品”；products意为“产品”。
②To save some of the human languages before they are forgotten,
the students in our school started a discussion “Save Our ”.
A. Sky B. Life C. Arts D. Voices
【解析】答案为D。由语境可知，此处指人类的语言，而语言是人类说的声音，因此用“voices”。
③—Shall we go out for a walk
—Sorry. This is not the right to invite me. I am too tired to walk.
A. moment B. situation C. place D. chance
【解析】答案为A。句意：“我们出去散散步好吗？”“对不起，这不是邀请我的合适的时间，我太累了而不想去散步。”moment意为“某一时刻，片刻”；situation意为“情形，状况”；place意为“地方”；chance意为“机会”。
④The top leaders of the two countries are holding talks in a friendly .
A. atmosphere B. state C. situation D. phenomenon
【解析】答案为A。句意：这两个国家的最高领导人在友好的气氛中进行交谈。atmosphere意为“气氛，氛围”；state意为“状态”；situation意为“形势，局面”；phenomenon意为“现象”。
⑤What’s the of having a public open space where you can’t eat, drink or even simply hang out for a
while
A. sense B. matter C. case D. opinion
【解析】答案为A。本题所设的语境是：有这样一个你在那里不能吃、不能喝甚至不能动的公共开放场所有什么意义呢？sense意为“意义、意识”；matter意为“问题，麻烦”；case意为“情况，问题”；opinion意为“意见，看法”。四个选项中只有A项符合语境。
二是考查搭配方面的辨析：主要考查固定句型中的名词、名词与动词的搭配以及名词与介词的搭配等。
①The young man made a ______to his parents that he would try to earn his own living after graduation.
A. prediction B. promise C. plan D. contribution
【解析】答案为B。句意：这位年轻人向他的父母许诺说毕业之后他将努力自食其力。make a promise意为“许诺、答应”其后的“that”从句为同位语从句，补充说明先行词“promise”的内容，其它选项不合句意。
②I bought a dress for only 2010 dollars in a sale; it was a real .
A. exchange B. bargain C. trade D. business
【解析】答案为B。bargain用作名词时，意为“廉价货，便宜货”，a real bargain意为“真便宜”。
③It is no arguing with Bill because he will never change his mind.
A. use B. help C. time D. way
【解析】答案为A。“it is no use后接动词+ing形式”或“动词+ing形式短语”表示“做某事没有用”。
④I have read the material several times but it doesn’t make any ________ to me.
A. meaning B. importance C. sense D. significance
【解析】答案为C。因为make sense意为“有意义、讲得通、有道理” 是固定习语。
⑤Don’t leave matches or cigarettes on the table within ________ of little children.
A. hand B. reach C. space D. distance
【解析】答案为B。within one’s reach意为“伸手拿（够）得到”，是习语。
在英语的句子中，谓语动词的形式应与主语的人称和数保持一致。近几年来，高考关于该内容的考查主要集中在语法一致、逻辑意义一致以及就近（远）一致原则等三个方面。
一、语法一致原则
只要确定句子的主语是单数意义，则谓语用单数，句子的主语意义复数，则谓语用复数。具体表现如下：
1.不可数名词作主语，一律视为单数。某些以s结尾的单数名词作主语，仍视为单数。
No news is good news.
His task was to collect information.
How much machinery has been installed
2.表示单一概念的动名词、不定式或句子作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
When and where to go for the on－salary holiday has not been decided yet.
3. “ one, either, neither, each of ＋复数名词或代词”作主语时， 谓语用单数。
Either of the stories is very funny.
4.something, everything, anything, nothing，somebody, nobody, no one 等不定代词作主语，谓语通常是单数。
Nothing is impossible.
5.表示时间、金钱、距离、重量、数量的复数名词作主语，通常看作一个整体，谓语动词用单数。
Ten pounds was missing from the box.
6. a series of, a kind of, a piece of, a pair of 等量词修饰名词，通常以量词的单复数形式来决定谓语的单复数。
This pair of glasses is very expensive.
Two series of new stamps have been ordered.
7.a number of ＋复数名词，“许多……”，复数意义；the number of ＋复数名词，“……的数目”，单数意义。the population of…“……的人口数量”作主语时，谓语用单数，但如果是分数、百分数、half of, the rest of the population 作主语时，具体指其中的多少人，复数意义，谓语则用复数。the average of…“……的平均数量”，作主语时，谓语用单数。
The number of the students in our school is quite large and a number of teachers work hard.
The population of China is large and most of the population are farmers.
8.主语后with, together with, along with, except, besides, as well as 等短语时，谓语动词的数要和这些短语前面的名词的单复数保持一致。(因为with等词为介词，其后跟的名词只能是介宾，不可能充当主语。)
Mr. Green together with his children goes to the park every Sunday.
9.“the ＋adj.”结构指一类人时，谓语动词用复数；如果指个别人或表示抽象的概念，谓语动词用单数。
The disabled are well taken care of in this country.
The dead in this accident was 20, a girl from Nanjing University.
The new is certain to replace the old.
10.分数、百分数、all, some, the rest, half of, most of, part of 等作主语时，谓语动词的单复数根据其指代的含义确定。
The rest of the workers are still very tired.
11.当and连接两个并列主语在意义上指同一人、同一物、同一事或者同一概念时，应看作单数，谓语动词用单数。另外，当and 连接两个形容词去修饰一个单数形式的主语时，其实是指两种不同的事物，主语则应该看作是复数， 那么谓语动词也应该用复数。
War and peace is a constant theme in history.
Chinese and Japanese silk are of good quality.
英语中并列结构表示整体概念的有：
iron and steel 钢铁 law and order 治安
bread and butter黄油面包 a watch and chain 一块带链的表
a knife and fork 一副刀叉 a coat and tie 一件配有领带的上衣
aim and end 目的 truth and honesty 真诚
12.what 引导的主语从句作主语时，谓语动词的单复数要取决于作表语的名词的单复数。
What surprised me most was his attitude towards his study.
13.such 作主语时，谓语动词的单复数形式要根据其意义而定。
Such is Stephen Hawking, who has suffered a great deal but achieved so much.
14.quantities of ＋名词作主语时，不论名词是复数还是不可数，谓语一律用复数。
a quantity of ＋名词复数作主语时，谓语用复数。
a quantity of ＋不可数名词作主语时，谓语用单数。
amounts of ＋不可数名词作主语时，谓语用复数。
an amount of ＋不可数名词作主语时，谓语用单数。
Every day quantities of water are wasted.
A large amount of damage has been done because of the floods.
二、逻辑意义一致原则
1.every /each/no ＋名词＋and every/ each/ no ＋名词作主语时，谓语用单数。
Every boy and every girl is having sports now.
2.“one ＋单数名词＋and a half”作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
One apple and a half was on the table.
3.“more than one ＋单数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。
More than one student has failed the exam.
4.“many a ＋单数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数。
Many a child was playing there.
【注意】以上四种情况，如果从意义上来讲，主语有复数意义，但由于名词都是以单数形式出现的，故谓语用单数形式，谓语形式上与主语的单数形式一致。
三、就近（远）一致原则
1.谓语动词的人称和数常常与最近作主语的词语保持一致。常出现在这类句子中的连词有：or, not…but…； either…or…， neither…nor…， not only…but also …等。
Either I or they are responsible for the result of the matter.
Neither the unkind words nor the unfriendly attitude has caused me any distress.
2.在倒装句中谓语可与后面最近的一个主语一致。
In the distance was heard the clapping of hands and the shouts of the people.
3.当there be 句型的主语是一系列事物时，谓语应与最邻近的主语保持一致。
There is a pen, a knife and several books on the desk.
There are twenty boy－students and twenty－three girl－students in the class.
4.当一个句子是由 there 或here引起，而主语又不止一个时，谓语通常和最靠近它的主语一致。
Here is a pen, a few envelopes and some paper in the drawer.
5.在定语从句中，关系代词如果在从句中作主语，依先行词决定从句谓语动词的单复数形式；在“one of＋复数名词＋who/that/which”引导的从句结构中，从句中的动词用复数形式；但是之前有the (only)等修饰语时，则从句中的动词用单数形式。
Mary is the only one of the students in our school who has ever been to China.
6.主语后面跟有“with, together with, except, but, like, as well as, no less than, rather than, more than, besides, along with, including, in addition to”等引起的短语，谓语动词要跟主语一致，即就远一致。
Mr. Green, together with his wife and children, has come to China.
A woman with a baby was on the bus.
Nobody but Jim and Mike was on the playground.
She like you and Tom, is very tall.
The girls as well as the boy have learned to speak Japanese.
No one except my teachers knows anything about it.
◆动词不定式、动名词以及名词性从句作主语时的主谓一致
Most of what has been said about the Smiths_______also true of the Johnsons.
A. are B. is C. being D. to be
【解析】答案为B。本题的主语是主语从句通常看作不可数，“most of”修饰主语从句依然是不可数，谓语动词应该用单数形式。
◆one, either, neither, each等+of+复数名词或代词作主语时的主谓一致
—Each of the students, working hard at his or her lessons, ______ to go
to university.
—So do I.
A. hope B. hopes C. hoping D. hoped
【解析】答案为B。本题的主语是“each”，“of the students”作后置定语，修饰“each”。
◆由and连接并列主语时的主谓一致
①—Did you go to the show last night
—Yeah. Every boy and girl in the area ________invited.
A. were B. have been C. has been D. was
【解析】答案为D。主语是“every boy and girl”表示单数概念，故谓语动词用单数，且询问昨晚的情况，有明确的过去时间，所以应选择“was”。
②A poet and artist ________ coming to speak to us about Chinese literature and painting tomorrow afternoon.
A. is B. are C. was D. were
【解析】答案为A。此题中“and”连接的第二个名词“artist”前没有加冠词，说明指的是同一个人，应为单数。
◆定语从句中的主谓一致
He is the only one of the students who _____ a winner of scholarship for three years.
A. is B. are C. have been D. has been
【解析】答案为D。“the only one of +复数名词+定语从句”中的先行词是“the only one”，定语从句中谓语动词用单数形式，又结合时间状语“for three years“可知应使用现在完成时。
◆quantities of+名词作主语时的主谓一致
With more forests being destroyed, huge quantities of good earth ______ each year.
A. is washing away B. is being washed away
C. are washing away D. are being washed away
【解析】答案为D。一般讲“quantities of“不论修饰可数名词还是不可数名词，其短语作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式。
◆the number of与a number of的区别
①As you can see, the number of cars on our roads__________ rising these days.
A. was keeping B. keep C. keeps D. were keeping
【解析】答案为C。在“the number of +复数名词”中主语是“the number（数量）”，谓语动词用单数，根据语境，应使用现在时。
②Nowadays, a large number of women, especially those from the countryside, _______ in the clothing industry.
A. is working B. works C. work D. worked
