中考英语:走出“主谓一致”的三大误区(3)
来源:求学网发布时间:2011-09-16
特别提醒 this kind of, a piece of, a bag of, a box of等,这类短语作主语时谓语动词的单复数由这些短语中的名词决定,而与它们所修饰的名词无关。
5. the rest of,half of等短语作主语
①Half of the students have finished most of the work. The rest of it are very difficult. (×)
②Half of the students have finished most of the work. The rest of it is very difficult. (√)
【解析】 根据句意和句子结构可以判断the rest of it中的it,指the work,而work是不可数名词,因此第②句正确。
特别提醒 all of, most of, half of, the rest of,以及a lot of, some, any+名词作主语时,要根据后面的名词确定谓语动词的单复数。
6. 一句话提示
①合成不定代词(如something,anybody等)作主语,谓语动词用单数;
②动名词、不定式、从句作主语时,谓语动词用单数;
③a number of + 名词(复)作主语,谓语用复数,the number of + 名词(复)作主语,谓语用单数;
④none of . . . 作主语时,谓语动词可用单数,也可用复数。
