Subject---Verb Agreement
主谓一致的三个原则:
语法一致、就近一致、意义一致
Summarize the rules of subject-verb agreement:
(一）谓语动词为单数的情况
1.由and 连接的并列成分指的是同一概念，兼具身份或匹配出现。
The worker and writer is from Wuhan.那个工人兼作家
　　cf: the worker and the writer are from Beijing. 那位工人和那位作家
　  　Bread and butter is a daily food in the West.
.
2．every… and (every)…,each …and (each… ,no …and (no)… ,many a …and (many a)…连接两个单数名词作主语。

Many a boy and girl has made the same mistake.
3．one/every one /each/either/ the number+of +复数名词作主语
Each of the students has a book.
4．clothing, furniture, traffic, jewellery, baggage, equipment, luggage 等无生命的集合名词作主语。
Clothing is badly needed in this flooded area.
5．以s 结尾的词，但表示学科、国家、机构、书籍、报刊等名称作主语。
Maths physics Swiss United states
6．表示时间、距离、金钱、等复数名词作主语，表达一个整体概念时
　Twenty years has passed since he left his hometown.

8．非谓语动词、名词性从句作主语

9. 单数名词、抽象名词、物质名词作主语。
（二）谓语动词为复数的情况
1．由and 连接的两个并列成分表示两个不同的概念。

2．people , police, cattle 等有生命的集体名词作主语。
The police are looking for the missing child.
3．goods, stairs, arms 等名词作主语。
4．由山脉、群岛、瀑布、运动会等s 结尾的专有名词作主语。

5. a number of /quantities of /a group of +名词作主语
(三) 谓语动词单、复数视情况而定
1．集体名词class, family, army, team, club, population, enemy, party, crowd, crew, audience, public , government, majority, group等作主语。强调整体用单数，指个个成员用复数。
His family is a great one.

2．means, works, pains等词，根据主语表达的概念而定。

Not only he but also I am invited.
Neither my gloves nor my hat goes with the dress.
但注意with/along with /together with/including /but/except/like/among/as well as /no more than /besides/rather than +名词 置于主语后，谓语和前面的名词在单复数上保持一致。

1.As a result of destroying the forests, a large _____ of desert _____ covered the land.(上海2001）
number; has B. quantity; has
C. number; have D. quantity; have
精析：a large number of 后面要接复数名词，所以A不能作为答案．因为desert是单数，所以要填 has．这句话的意思是“毁坏森林的结果是，大片沙漠覆盖了陆地”.答案 B
2. ____ of the land in that district ____ covered with trees and grass.(上海2000)
Two fifth, is B. Two fifth, are
C. Two fifths, is D. Two fifths, are
精析: 分数的分子用基数词,分母用序数词表示.如果分子大于1, 序数词后加-s. 分数和百分比作主语时,谓语动词的形式取决于分数和百分数后面的名词.句子中的主语 land是单数,所以谓语动词要用 is covered. 答案C.
3---- Each of the students, working hard at his or her lessons, ____ to go to university.
---- So do I.（全国1998）
hopes B. hope C. hoping D. do hope
精析：这句话的主语是 Each of the students，是单数，所以要 hopes 选作谓语。现在分词短语working hard at his or her lessons 作状语，表示伴随的情况。有的考生盲目地把 lessons 当成了主语，填写了hope，发生了错误。本题的译文：每一个努力学习的学生都想上大学。我也是。答案 A。
4. ____ people in the world are sending information by e-mail every day.（上海2001）
A. Several million B.Many millions
C. Several millions D. Many million
精析：在Million前如果有具体的数字或 several等词时，要用单数形式。 Many一般不与 million等词连用，表示“数百万”，英语为 millions of。这句话的意思是“每天，世界上有几十万人通过 e-mail传递信息。”答案 A。
