英语主谓一致原则实例分析 在有些情况下,主语并不是想像的那么简单
主语会有几个词、词组甚至从句组成
这时候,我们就要分清楚:主语究竟是单数,还是复数
所以,主、谓单复数一致问题,最关键的是要搞清楚主语究竟是单数还是复数
假如把主语单复数搞清楚了,谓语单复数自然就清楚了
1、主语中有下列连词,仍然算作单数
如:as well as, with, along with, together with, rather than, except, but, including, besides, in addition to, added to, like, rather than, more than, no less than 等
例如: Tom as well as two of his friends was invited to the party
汤姆以及他的两位同学一起被邀请参加了晚会
A woman with Mary is coming to the hospital
一个妇女跟同玛丽正向医院走来
Nobody, except his most intimate friends, knows of it
除了他最要好的朋友外, 没人知道这件事
2、以 and 或 both
连接的并列主语,假如是可数名词,通常都是复数;假如是不可数名词,仍然是单数
但是,假如主语指的是同一个人或事,则也算作单数
例如: What he says and what he does do not agree
他言行不一致
[说和做是两件事,复数]The worker and writer has come
这位工人作家来了
[worker 和 writer 指同一个人,单数]The worker and the writer have come
