高考主谓一致专项讲解
1．大多数的以 - (e)s 结尾的名词表示复数意义，但 means，news，goods，works 通常表示单数意义，不过，这几个词中个别名词在具体的语境中也可以表示复数意义。判断的方法是：若这些词前有 a，such a，this，that，each，every 修饰时，谓语用单数。means，no means，the means 等前没有上述修饰语时，谓语动词可用单数，也可用复数。 Every means has been tried． All possible means have been tried．
2．由成双(对)部分组成的衣服或物品的名词名称，如 trousers，glasses等，通常用作复数。但若其前有表示单位的 pair，piece 等量词时，则谓语的单复数由这些量词的单复数决定。 His trousers have worn out． The pair of trousers has worn out. 3．专有名词及书名，通常只做单数用。
The Selected Poems of Li Bai was published long ago． The United Nations was set up in 1945． 4．family，team，party，class，public，club，crew，crowd，group，enemy，audience，committee，company 等词作为一个整体看时，表示单数意义，谓语动词用单数。若就其中一个个成员来看时，则表示复数形式。
My family is a united one． My family are early risers.
5．people，cattle（牲口），police 等只能表示复数意义，作主语时，谓语动词用复数形式。 The police have caught the murderer．
6．population 作主语时，通常看作单数，若 population 前有分数、百分数修饰时，则句子谓语通常用复数。
The population in China is very large，and eighty percent of the population in China are farmers． 7．单复数同形的名词，如：sheep，deer 等作主语时，应根据主语的单复数意义确定谓语动词的形式。
A deer is over there． Some deer are over there．
8．表示度量、距离、金额、时间等数量的名词(词组)作主语时，通常看作单数。 Twenty years has passed．
9．分数，量词，数学算式通常看作单数。
Twenty divided by four is five．二十除以四得五。 Four plus (and) three is／are seven．四加三等于七。
10．由分数，百分数 + of + 名词或 some／a lot of／lots of／plenty of／the rest of／half of／part of + 名词构成的短语作主语时，谓语动词的数由短语中名词的数决定。 The rest of meat goes bad． The rest of workers are still very tired．
11．the number of + 可数名词的复数形式，the amount of + 不可数名词，the quantity of + 可数
名词的复数形式或不可数名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数。这是因为主语的中心词分别是 number，amount，quantity。A number of + 可数名词的复数形式，large amounts of + 不可数名词，quantities of + 可数名词的复数形式或不可数名词作主语时，谓语动词用复数。 The number of students in Class 9 is 105． Large amounts of water are wasted each year. 12．more than + 名词词组作主语时，谓语动词的数要与名词词组中心词的数一致。
More than two hundred people have turned up． More than one person has voted against him． 13．many a + 单数名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数。 Many a student has made that mistake．
14．one and a half + 名词复数形式作主语时，谓语动词用单数。 One and a half apples is left on the table．
15．由 and，both...and...连接的并列主语通常表示复数意义，谓语动词应用复数。但当并列主语指的是同一个人(如事物或概念)时，谓语动词应用单数形式。判别二者的方法通常要看 and 后的名词前是否有冠词。
The writer and the poet are here．(作家和诗人) The writer and poet is here．(作家兼诗人) 16．关联连词 not...but..., not only...but also..., or，either...or, neither... nor...等连接并列主语时，谓语动词的数与它紧邻的主语一致。（就近原则） Not only the boys but (also) the father was to blame．
17．主语后面跟有 as well as，along with，with，together with，except，besides，including，followed by 等引导的词组时，谓语动词的单、复数根据主语的单、复数而定。（就远原则） The girl as well as boys has learned to use computers．
18．each...and each..., every...and every...连接的名词作主语时，谓语动词用单数。 Each man and each woman is asked to help．
19．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先行词的数保持一致。
He is one of students who want to learn how to use the computer．(先行词是 students) He is the only one of students who wants to learn how to use the computer．(先行词是 one) 20．the + 形容词通常表示一类人，看作复数；但在具体语境中也可表示一个人。
The wounded were treated well． The wounded (soldier) was taken away by a little peasant boy． 21．名词性从句作主语时，通常看作单数。但若其表示复数概念，则应看作复数。判断的一般方法是看表语的单复数。
What we need is more money． What we need are more clothes 22．不定式，v - ing 形式作主语时，通常看作单数。
To have finished writing the essay is quite a relief to me． Reading English is easier than speaking it．
