5、r ofpeople have tried to find the treasure, but they have all failed.许多人都努力寻找宝藏，但是他们都失败了。“the+形容词”作主语时的主谓一致一、“the+形容词”作主语时，若指一类人，则谓语用复数。如：The young aremostly ambitious.年轻人多半有雄心。The sick and the wounded were sent home.伤病员都送回家了。The richget richer and the poor get poorer.富者愈富，贫者愈贫。The injured werecarri

6、ed away on stretchers.用担架把受伤的人抬走了。The old aremore likely to catch cold than the young.老年人比年轻人更容易感冒。二、若指个别或抽象概念，谓语用单数。如：The beautiful is not always the useful.美的并不总是有用的。The unknown isalways something to be feared.未知的东西总是一种令人害怕的东西。The beautiful isnot always the good, and the good is not always the tru

7、e.美未必是善，善未必是真。注：有个别的“the+形容词”结构既表示单数意义，也表示复数意义，若用作主语，谓语动词用单数还是复数需视情况而定。如：the good指“好人”时表复数意义，指“善”时表单数意义；the accused指一名被告时表单数意义，指多名被告时表复数意义。比较：The accused was acquitted of the charge.被告被宣告无罪。(指一人)The accusedwere acquitted of the charge.被告均被宣告无罪。(指多人)many a与more than one作主语时谓语的数many a的意思是“许多”，more tha

8、n one的意思是“不止一个”，从意义上，它们表示复数，但用作主语时，谓语却习惯上用单数。如：1.many aMany afine man has died in that battle.许多优秀的士兵死于那次战役。Many aship has been wrecked on those rocks.许多船只毁于那些礁石之上。Many ayoung man has tried and failed.很多年轻人都试过，而且失败了。Many asuccessful store has paid its rent cheerfully.许多成功的店铺都非常乐意地付了房租。2.more than on

10、 the book.=More students than one have read the book.不止一个学生读过这书。one in out of作主语时的主谓一致当one in或one out of用作主语时，其后谓语动词通常用单数，因为真正用作主语的是one。如：Onlyone in tenstudents has passed the examination.只有十分之一的学生通过了考试。One out oftwelve bottles was broken.每12个瓶子中有一个破了。但是，在非正式文体中有时也用复数谓语。如：Nationwide,one in fiveadult

11、s are illiterate.就全国范围而言，五个成年人中有一个是文盲。population作主语的主谓一致问题1.表示意义较抽象的“人口”时，表单数意义；表示某地区的全体居民时，为集合名词，既可表示单数意义(视为整体)也可表示复数意义(考虑其个体)。如：Most of the populationhas have fled.大部分居民都逃走了。Chinas population is by far the largest of any country.中国是全世界人口最多的国家。What percent of the populationread reads books?识字的人占人口总

12、数的百分之几?Half the worlds population doesnt dont get enough to eat.世界有一半人口没有足够的食物吃。注：有的人认为，当population作主语时谓语动词一般用单数，但若前面有分数或百分数修饰时，谓语动词用复数这是不准确的，以上例句均引自权威词典，完全可以说明这一问题！2.若其后跟的是系表结构，且表语为复数，谓语动词通常用复数。如：One third of the population here are farmers.这里三分之一的人口是工人。more than one作主语谓语动词用单数还是复数请看两个句子：More than o

13、ne boy _ read the story.More boys than one _ read the story.A.have，haveB.has，hasC.have，hasD.has，have此题应选D。该题很容易误选A，认为既然more than one意为“不只一个”(多个)，那么其谓语就应该用复数。其实more than one用作主语时，谓语通常要用单数(要从形式一致来考虑)。more than one用作主语时，要注意以下两个结构：“more than one+单数名词”用作主语，其谓语通常用单数(即从形式考虑)“more+复数名词+than one”用作主语，其谓语通常要用

14、复数也就是说，以上结构中名词的数决定其后动词的数。不只一个学生受到惩罚。正：More than one student was punished.正：More students than one were punished.类似以上用法的还有：many a+单数名词(意为：许多)，用作主语，谓语用单数(即从形式一致考虑)many+复数名词(意为：许多)，用作主语，谓语要用复数也就是说，以上结构中名词的数决定其后动词的数。很多小孩在那儿玩。正：Many a child was playing there.正：Many children were playing there.means作主语时谓语

15、动词用单数还是复数means表单数意义还是复数意义?用作主语时，谓语动词用单数还是复数？如：All possible means _ been tired.Every possible means _ been tired.A.have，haveB.has，hasC.have，hasD.has，have此题应选C。名词means(方法)的单复数同形，用作主语时，其谓语的单复数要视具体含义而定：1.如果means与all，such，these，those等词连用，则其含义应该是复数：These means are very good.这些方法很好。Such means sound interes

16、ting，but in fact theyreimpossible.那样的方法听起来有趣，但实际上是不可能的。2.如果means与a，such a，this，that，every等词连用，则其含义应该是单数：Such a means is really unpleasant.这样的方法确实是令人不愉快。There is an effective means of doing it.做此事有一种很有效的方法。3.有时从句意和上下文无法确定means到底是单数还是复数，则其谓语用单数或复数均可以：做这事还有其他的什么办法吗?正：Are there any other means of doing

17、it?正：Is there any other means of doing it?没有好的方法。正：There is no good means.正：There are no good means.is a还是are a谓语应该跟主语一致还是跟表语一致，请看下面一题：We Chinese _ a hard-working people. A.isB.areC.is beingD.are being此题应选B。这里考生要注意的是：我们通常说的是主谓一致(即谓语与主语保持一致)，而不是表谓一致(即不是谓语与表语一致)，本题意为：我们中国人是一个勤劳的民族。注意以下类似例子：These two d

What he left me are only a few old books.他给我留下的只是几本旧书。minority作主语时谓语用单数还是复数minority表示“少数”时，为集合名词；单独用作主语时，如果强调整体，谓语动词用单数形式；如果强调个体，谓语动词用

24、的全体工作人员时，是集合名词。用作主语时，若视为整体，谓语用单数；若考虑其个体，谓语用复数。如：The crew is large.工作人员众多。The crew of the plane are ten in all.这架飞机的机组人员一共10人。The crew are paid to do all the work on the ship.船员被雇佣在船上工作。2.若crew受到some of, most of, many of等的修饰，谓语要用复数。如：The ship was wrecked, and most of the crew were drowned.那艘船意外遇难，大部分

27、个体，谓语动词用复数形式。如：The majority agree agrees with me.大多数人同意我的意见。The majority was were in favour of the proposal.多数人赞成这个建议。但是若单独用的the majority后跟有复数表语，则谓语通常要用复数。如：The majority are young people.大多数是年轻人。2.“the majority of+复数名词”用作主语时，谓语动词通常用复数，但偶尔也可用单数。如：The majority of his books are kept upstairs.他的大部分书藏在楼上
