1 定义 

1.1 在英语句子里,谓语受主语支配,其动词必须和主语在人称和数上保持一致,就叫主谓一致。 

2 用法三原则 

2.1 语法一致原则 

2.1.1 主语为单数形式,谓语动词用单数形式;主语为复数形式,谓语动词也用复数形式。如:The number of books he has surprises us all. (主语为单数形式的number) / Jack and I are good friends. (主语为复数形式的Jack and I) 

2.2 意义一致原则 

2.2.1 主语形式虽为单数,但意义为复数,谓语动词用复数。如:The team are all from South China. (team虽为单数形式,但意指全体队员,所以谓语用复数) 

2.2.2 主语形式为复数,而意义上却是单数,谓语动词用单数。如:Physics is his favourite subject. (physics虽为复数形式,但意指物理学科,所以谓语用单数) 

2.3 就近原则 

2.3.1 谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语。如用连词or,either…or, neither…not, not only…but also等连接的并列主语,如果一个是单数,一个是复数,谓语动词与靠近它的主语一致。如:Neither he nor they are able to finish the job on time. / Neither they nor he is able to finish the job on time. 

3 代词作主语 

3.1 名词性物主代词作主语时,既可以用作单数,也可以用作复数,这取决于它所代替的是单数还是复数。如:Your trousers are black and mine are yellow. / Your pencil is long and mine is short. 

3.2 such, the same起指示代词作用时,应根据其所指的内容来决定单、复数。如:Such is his idea. / Such are his words. 

3.3 关系代词who, that, which等在定语从句中作主语时,其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。如:He who is standing under the tree is my father. / The students who are standing under the tree are from America. 

3.4 疑问代词who, what, which作主语时,谓语动词可根据说话人所要表达的意思决定单、复数。如:Which apple do you like? / Which apples do you like? 

3.5 不定代词any, either, neither, none, all some, more等作主语时,谓语多用单数。有时也用复数,要看不定代词所指是否为复数。如:All has changed here. / All are present for the meeting now. 

4 数词或表量的名词作主语 

4.1 “分数或百分数+名词”构成的短语以及由“a lot of, lots of plenty of, a large quantity of, a heap of, heaps of, half of +名词”构成的短语作主语时,其谓语动词要与短语中of后面的名词的数保持一致,这是因为短语中后面的名词是中心词,而短语中前面的量词是修饰语,例如:Lots of deputies will be invited to the conference. / Lots of milk was dumped as waste during the Depression. 

4.2 a great deal of只能后接不可数名词,谓语用单数形式。如:A great deal of money has been invested in building the new road. 

4.3 表示数量的one and a half后,名词要用复数形式,但是其短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式,例如:One and a half teaspoonfuls is just enough for me. 其中,one and a half teaspoonfuls也可以表达为:one teaspoonful and a half。 

4.4 a number of(许多)与the number of(...的数量)。两者都是后接可数名词的复数,但前者的谓语用复数形式,后者的谓语用单数形式。如:A number of teachers went on strike yesterday. / The number of the teachers who went on strike yesterday was amazing. 

4.5 an amount of(许多)与the amount of(...的数量)。两者只能后接不可数名词,而且谓语都用单数形式。如:An amount of water is wasted every year. / The amount of water which is wasted every year is amazing. 

5 名词作主语 

5.1 某些集体名词作主语时,如果作为一个整体看待,谓语动词用单数形式,如果就其中一个个成员而言,谓语动词用复数形式。如:The group is a happy one. / The group are on holiday now. 

5.2 某些集体名词,如people, police, cattle等,只当复数看待,谓语动词必须用复数。如:The cattle are what they rely on for a living. 

5.3 单、复数同形的名词主语时,谓语动词应根据意义决定单、复数。如:A deer is wandering in the bush. / Deer are claimed to be the king's property. 

5.4 名词所有格之后的名词被省略,这种情况一般只指商店、工厂、住宅等,作主语时,动词一般用单数。如:The butcher's is just around the corner. 

5.5 不定代词each, every, no所修饰的名词即使以and或逗号连接成多主语时,谓语动词仍用单数形式。如:Each boy and each girl wants to go for an outing in the woods. 

5.6 一些有两个部分构成的名词表示衣物或工具作主语时,谓语动词通常用复数形式,但如果主语用“a kind of, a pair of , a series of等+名词”构成时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。如:A pair of shoes is a must for everyone. 

5.7 当名词词组中心词为表示度量、距离、金额、时间、书名等复数名词时,往往可以根据意义一致的原则,把这些复数名词看作一个整体,谓语用单数形式。如:Five kilometers is a long way to go for school. 

5.8 如果主语有more than one…或many a…构成,尽管从意义上看是复数内容,但它的谓语动词仍用单数形式。但是,“more +复数名词+than one”结构之后,谓语动词一般多用复数形式。如:Many a book has been sold out these days. / More books than one have been sold out these days. 

5.9 在主谓倒装的句子中,谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如:Between the two rivers lies a small village. 

5.10 用and或both…and连接并列主语,谓语动词通常用复数形式。但是,并列主语如果指的是同一个人、同一事物或同一概念时,谓语动词用单数形式,这时and后面的名词没有冠词。如:Jack and Mary are both from France. / A knife and fork is a must for a meal in America. 

5.11 当主语后面跟有as well as, as much as, no less than, along with, with, like, rather than, together with, but, except, besides, including, in addition to等引导的词组时,其谓语动词的单、复数由这些单词或短语前的名词或代词的单复数来决定。如:The teacher as well as the students is ready for the trip. 

5.12 以or, either…or, neither…nor, not only…but also等连接的名词(代词)作主语时,谓语动词的单复数应根据就近一致的原则。如:Either Tim or his brothers have to water the garden. / Either his brothers or Tim has to water the garden. 

6 名词化的形容词或过去分词作主语 

6.1 如果主语由“the+形容词(或过去分词)”结构担任时,谓语通常用复数。如:The poor are not inferior to the rich before law. 

6.2 少数的过去分词与定冠词连用时指个别,则用单数。如:The departed was a very good neighbour. 

7 从句作主语 

7.1 由what引导的主语从句,谓语动词通常用单数,但所指的具体内容是复数意义时,谓语动词一般用复数形式,例如:What we need is more fresh water. / What we need are more children's books. 

  7.2 在“one of+复数名词++who/that/which”引导的从句结构中,关系代词who/that/which的先行词是靠近它的复数名词而不是one,因此,从句中的动词应该是复数形式。但是当one之前有the only等修饰语时,关系代词的先行词是one,而不是靠近它的复数名词,因此从句的动词应是单数形式。如:It is one of the most boring films that have been made. / It is the only one of the films that interests me.
