根据主语决定与其一致的单数或复数的谓语
Subject – verb agreement
主 谓 一 致 性
主谓一致
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。
主谓一致主要有以下几种情况:
二、意义一致
三、就近原则
一、语法一致
一、语法一致
主语为单数形式,谓语动词也用单数形式;
主语为复数形式,谓语动词也用复数形式。
例如:
I often help him and he often helps me.
我经常帮助他,他也经常帮助我。
We often help each other.
我们经常互相帮助。
不可数名词作主语,谓语动词用单数;
可数名词的复数形式作主语,
谓语动词用复数。
二、意义一致
主语形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词用复数;
主语形式为复数,而意义为单数,谓语动词用单数。如:
The crowd were surrounding the government official.
人群包围了这位政府官员。
Maths is hard to learn.
数学难学。
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.
桌子上有一支钢笔和两支铅笔。
Observe the difference
The crowd were surrounding the government official.
The crowd was very large.

Group discussion: Can you find out the grammar rules?
Collective nouns can have a singular or plural verb. If the noun refers to a whole unit, the verb is singular. If it refers to the different members of a unit, the verb is plural.
三. 可用单数或复数的情形
family(家庭),team(队员),class(班上的全体学生),crowd(人群),government(政府),crew(乘务员),committee(委员会),audience(听众),public(公众)等集体名词用作主语时,其谓语既可用单数,也可用复数:当它们被视为整体时,谓语用单数;当它们强调个体时,谓语用复数。如:
My family is very large. 我家人很多。(视为整体)
His family are waiting for him. 他家里人在等他。(强调个体成员)
注:有时没有特定的上下文,用单数或复数谓语区别不大。如:
The public are [is] requested not to leave litter in the park.要求公众在公园不要乱扔东西

主谓一致记忆口诀
单单复复最常见,集体名词谓用单。
如若强调其成员,复数谓语记心间.
有些名词谓常复,people, police, cattle,clothes即这般
主语单数后接介,谓语单数介无关.
many a作主语也如此,谓语动词应用单
or, nor, but also, there be,近主原则挂嘴边.
