动词的运用讲解
既然这是个常见的错误,我们便要特别留意,并且记住下面这些指导原则:
动词和主语在人称和数目上要一致,如:
① I am a writer.
② Helen is an editor.
③ They have a good future.
④ Dr Chen teaches us English.
⑤ Some old houses were burnt to the ground.
⑥ A deserted hut has already been demolished.
两个或两个以上的单数主语由连接词“and”贯串起来时,便成了复数,动词也要复数,如:
⑦ David and Jason are colleagues.
⑧The driver and the passenger were involved in a quarrel.
两个主语由“with”或“as well as ”等连接时,动词要和第一个主语的人称及数目呼应,如:
⑨ A woman with her puppies is walking along the lake.
⑩ The monitor as well as the other students has been scolded.
两个主语由“either……or”或“neither……nor”连接时,动词要和第二个主语的人称及数目呼应,如:
11. Either you or your friend is wrong.
12. Neither John nor his classmates have said it.
集合名词(collective noun)当整体看待时,动词是单数,如:
13. The steering committee is made up of five members.
14. The jury has made its final decision.
有时可以个别看待集合名词里的成员,这时这些成员合起来便变成复数,动词也是复数了,如:
15. The committee have met once and they will meet again next month.
16. Despite hours of deliberations, the jury were still divided in their opinions.
