数量词的主谓一致

高中英语中的数量词与主谓一致。例如a number of ,quantities of 后面的谓语应该是怎样的。以及什么时候量词保持一致，什么时候与主语保持一致

Answer 1

1. “kind, sort, pair, type +名词” 作主语，以这些名词本身的单复数而定。
2. all, none, some, any 等不定代词作主语，根据其指代的内容而定。
All are present .
All the food tastes good.
3. “half / most / enough / part / the rest / the last / lots / plenty / 分数、百分数 + of + 名词”作主语:
谓语动词要和 of 之后的名词单复数保持一致。
4. 由or , either …or, neither…nor, not only…but also 等连接的并列主语，谓语动词常和靠近的作主语的名词有单复数上保持一致。
Not only he but also I am invited.
Neither my gloves nor my hat goes with the dress.
5. with , along with , together with , including , but , except , like , among , as well as , no more than , besides , rather than +名词”置于主语后，谓语动词一般仍和前面的名词在单复数上保持一致。
The teacher with a number of students is in the classroom.
6.the number of 表示....的数量，谓语动词用单数， of 后名词用复数
The number of students is 100.
a number of=many 后接可数名词复数，谓语动词用复数
A number of students come here today.
7. a quantity of和quantities of都表示大量的，都可以修饰可数和不可数名词，只是前者后的谓语动词用单三形式，后者谓语动词用复数形式
Quantities of students come here today.
A quantity of students comes here today.

高中学习主谓一致，实际上就是要理解主语的真正含义。比如：
由and 连接的并列成分指的是同一概念，兼具身份或匹配出现。
The worker and writer is from Wuhan. (那个工人兼作家…)
(比较：The worker and the writer are from Beijing. 那位工人和那位作家)
分辨的方法是多多理解冠词the/ a/an及集合名词、量词的含义及用法。大有裨益！
