在中学英语教学和高考英语复习中,辨析清楚英语主语和谓语的一致关系,通常是教师和学生难解的问题。那么如何引入高中英语主谓一致的课堂呢?下面,沃尔得小编给大家整理了英语教学策略。
1.并列结构作主语,且当意义为复数时,谓语用复数形式。
注意:当主语由and连结时,如果它表示一个单一的概念,即指同一人或物时,谓语动词用单数,and连接的两个名词前只用一个冠词。如:
The writer and teacher Smith has gone through millions of ups and downs since he moved to Sydney.
2.主谓一致中的靠近原则。
(1)当there be句型的主语是一系列事物时,谓语应与最近的主语保持一致。如:
There is a bowl,two knives and several forks on the table..
There are thirty boy-students and twenty-five girl-students in the class.
(2)在由not only ...but also ...,not just ... but ...,or,neither ... nor ...,either ... or ...连接主语的句子中,谓语动词的单复数遵循就近一致原则,即按与谓语动词最靠近的那个主语来确定谓语动词的单复数形式。如:
Not only Mary but also I am going to London next week.

3.谓语动词与前面的主语一致。
当主语后面跟有with,together with,like,except,but,as well as 等词引起的短语时,谓语动词与前面的主语一致。如:
The teacher together with his students is discussing Writing Skills that was newly published in China.
4.谓语动词与后接名词或代词保持一致。
(1)用half of,part of,most of 等词引起主语时,动词通常与of后面的名词或代词保持一致。如:
Most of her money is spent on dress.
(2)在more than ... of 作主语时,动词应与其后的名词或代词保持一致。如:
More than 60 percent of the students are from the city.
2主谓一致考点探究
主语部分有修饰成分,需要找准主语中心词
例 (2014年高考全国大纲卷) All of us need friendship. The understanding between two friends mean both of them have similar ideas and trust each other.
解析 mean改为means。通过第一句可以确定第二句应该使用一般现在时,第二句的主语的中心词是单数词understanding,所以谓语动词应该用单数。这道题有一定的迷惑性,主语部分有一个修饰成分,要认真分析句子结构,找准主语的中心词。
把主谓一致和倒装句结合起来考查
例(2015年高考福建卷) Here (77) my tips for you.
解析 are。此题考查了倒装句中的主谓一致问题。以here,there等副词开头的句子完全倒装。横线处的主语不是here,而是tips,所以应该填复数形式are。

给出主语提示词,根据谓语动词的形式确定主语的单复数
例 (2014年高考新课标I卷) While there are amazing stories of instant transformation, for most of us the 69 (change) are gradual and require a lot of effort and work, like cleaning up a polluted river.
解析 changes。主谓一致不仅会考查根据主语的单复数确定谓语动词的单复数形式,有时候还需要逆向思维,通过谓语动词的形式来确定主语的单复数形式。此题横线后面的谓语动词是复数,所以主语也应该用名词的复数形式。
3意义一致原则
1.一个从句、不定式、动名词或不可数名词做主语时,谓语动词用单数,两个或两个以上的从句、不定式、动名词或不可数名词做主语表达两个以上的不同概念时,谓语动词用复数。
:Swimming and riding are good for you.
a 和more than one 等修饰做主语的单数名词时,虽表复数意义,谓语动词却用单数。
:Many a girl has been here.
3.表示时间、重量、数目、价格、长度等的词或词组做主语时,如果看成一个整体,谓语动词用单数,如果表示具体多少,谓语动词用复数。
:Two years have passed since we got to know each other.
Two years is a short time.
4.一些集合名词如police,cattle,group,family,class,government等做主语时,如果看成一个整体,谓语动词用单数,如果强调其中的个体,谓语动词用复数。
:My family like watching TV. My family is far from the school.
5.由分数、百分数+of+名词做主语时,谓语动词的单复数由名词的单复数及是否是不可数名词来决定。
:Three-fifths of good earth is washed away.
