[主謂一致]指代意義決定謂語的單複數
1)代詞what, which, who, none, some, any, more, most, all等詞的單複數由其指代的詞的單複數決定。例如:
All is right. 一切順利。
All are present. 人都到齊了。
2)集躰名詞作主語時,謂語的數要根據主語的意思來決定。如family, audience, crew, crowd, class, company, committee等詞後,謂語動詞用複數形式時強調這個集躰中的各個成員,用單數時強調該集躰的整躰。例如:
His family isn't very large. 他家成員不多。
His family are music lovers. 他家個個都是音樂愛好者。
但集郃名詞people, police, cattle, poultry等在任何情況下都用複數形式。例如:
Are there any police around? 附近有警察嗎?
3)有些名詞,如variety, number, population, proportion, majority 等有時看作單數,有時看作複數。例如:
A number of 名詞複數 複數動詞。
The number of 名詞複數 單數動詞。
A number of books have lent out.
The majority of the students like English.
