Grammar 9:主谓一致和感叹句
1. 主谓一致(subject-verb agreement)
指谓语动词和主语的人称及数要保持一致。
1) 两个名词或代词用and连接时,谓语动词一般用复数。但指同一概念或用each,every,many a,no等修饰时,谓语动词用单数。
e.g.He and she are friends。
A white rose and a red rose are sent to her.
The scientist and writer is respected by people.
Each boy and each girl is a flower of the country’s garden.
Many a tree has been planted in the park.
2) 集合名词family,group,class,army,team,enemy等作主语时,若强调整体,则谓语动词用单数;若强调个体,则谓语动词用复数。
e.g.The family is happy and friendly.
Our class is united.
The enemy are coming closer to our hiding place.
The army have helped the farmers with the harvest.
3) 不定代词anyone,anybody,anything,everyone,everything,someone,somebody,no one,nobody,nothing等做主语时,谓语动词用单数;但none,neither的谓语动词单复数均可。
e.g.Is anybody going to tell her the news?
Nothing is worrying her now.
Everything is OK so far.
None of them know/ knows what’s happing.
Neither of us want/ wants to play the game.
4) 采取就近原则的there be…,either…or…, neither…nor…, not only…but also…等句型,谓语动词与最近的主语一致。但主语后面有with, together with, as well as, rather than, along with, in addition to, but/except, besides等来修饰时,谓语动词仍与主语保持一致。
e.g.There is a sheep eating grass in the field.
Not only I but also my brother likes the joke.
Either he or you come to help me.
Father as well as the children goes fishing every Sunday.
Lily, together with her friends, is good at word puzzle.
1) 主语表示时间、金钱、距离、重量等概念时,谓语动词用单数。
e.g.100 years is what he hopes to live.
500 miles is a long way for an old man.
1,000,000 dollars is not enough for the project.
2.感叹句(exclamatory sentences)
这是一种表达强烈感情的句式,有两中句型:what感叹句和how感叹句。
1) what句型。
e.g.What a lovely girl she is!
What beautiful flowers they are!
What fine weather it is!
What a boy!
2) how句型。
e.g.How lovely the girl is!
How beautiful the flowers are!
How fine the weather is!
How time flies!
