⑴ 英语句子语法问题,主谓不一致貌似
因为主语来为The application of electronic controls and computer storage ,是and 连接的并源列主语,因此谓动用have multiplied .
made possible by the microprocessor 是过去分词做定语修饰The application of electronic controls
句意: 电脑储存和由于电子微处理机得以实现的电控运用成倍的增加了现代打字机的功能。
⑵ 英语语法:一句句子中,主句和从句的时态要一致么
你对第三句和第四句的理解完全正确,因为这两句的谓语分别是recommend、advise,要求后面的版宾语从句权使用“should + do”形式的虚拟语气,should可以省略。
但是认为第二句有错误,在宾语从句中,如果从句是客观真理,那么主句即使是一般过去时,从句也用一般现在时。但是第二句看不出有什么可以列为客观真理的地方,所以质疑第二句的正确性。
⑶ 英语前后主语不一致是什么语法
先看整句话的意思,当生活给你一百个理由哭泣时,你应该向生活展示你有一千个理由去微笑.从翻译中我们不难发现when后边引导了一个祈使句,这个祈使句才是主句.而一般情况下祈使句为第二人称,可省略主语.也许把从句和主句调换一下位置会更好理解.show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile when life give you a hundred reasons to cry.做语法题时,可以用原句的翻译和你的答案的翻译对比一下,如果符合就对了.如这道题.
⑷ 就近一致在英语语法中哪些地方用到过
在现代英语中主谓一致基本遵循如下原则:语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近原则。
1. 语法一致原则
语法一致原则就是根据主语的语法形式决定其谓语动词的语法形式.主语是单数,谓语动词就用单数形式;主语是复数,谓语动词就用复数形式。例如:
A letter has been sent to every student.给每个学生寄了一封信.
Two letters have been sent to every student.给每个学生寄了两封信.
2. 意义一致原则
意义一致原则指主谓语之间的一致关系不是由主语的语法形式来决定,而是由主语所表达的意义来决定.形式是单数的主语,其谓语有可能是复数形式;反之,形式是复数的主语,其谓语有可能是单数形式.例如:
The government have broken all their promises. 政府违背了全部诺言.(指政府中的各部门或成员)
The United States is a country advanced in science and technology. 美国是一个科学技术发达的国家.(美国是由许多的州构成的单一国家)
3. 就近原则
就近原则,指谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语.由neither...nor或either...or连接或者当一个句子是由 there 或here引起,而主语又不止一个时,谓语通常和最靠近它的主语一致.例如:
Here is a pen, a few envelopes and some paper in the drawer.抽屉里有一支钢笔,几个信封和一些纸.
Neither she nor I am wet.她和我都没有被淋湿.
上述三条原则的具体应用比较复杂,下列几点应予以注意:
1. 谓语动词用单数的情况
(1) 不定式、动名词短语或名词性从句作主语时,谓语动词用单数.例如:
To become actresses is their ambition. 作演员是她们的雄心.
Nodding often means you say "yes".点头常常意味着你表示同意.
What I did was to give her a book.我所做的就是给她一本书.
(2) 事件、国名、机构名称、作品名称用作主语时,谓语动词用单数.例如:
The United Nations was formed in 1945. 联合国成立于1945年.
The Thirty-Nine Steps is an interesting novel. 《三十九级台阶》是一本很有意思的小说.
(3)one, every, everyone, everybody, each, one of, any, either, neither, one, nobody, anyone, someone, somebody 用作主语或修饰主语时,谓语动词用单数.例如:
Many a student doesn't like having to do their homework. 很多学生都不喜欢被迫做作业.
Neither of the two girls is at home.两个女孩都不在家.
但现在英美也有人在neither of用作主语或修饰主语的句子中用复数形式的谓语动词.例如:
Neither of the two girls are at home.
(4)表示时间、距离、金钱、体积、数字等的词语用作主语表示总量时,谓语动词用单数.例如:
Fifteen years represents a long period of his life. 15年代表他一生中一个很长的时期.
(5)单数词作主语,虽然后接由including, as well as , together with, in addition to, accompanied by等词连接的其它词,谓语动词仍用单数.例如:
Gold, as well as silver, has recently risen in price. 最近金银的价格上涨了.
(6) a portion of, a series of, a kind of 等词语修饰主语时,谓语动词一般根据语法一致原则用单数.例如:
A series of pre-recorded tapes has been prepared for language laboratory use. 已准备好一系列预先录制的磁带供语言实验室使用.
2. 谓语动词用复数的情况
(1)both, some, few, many, several等词语用作主语或修饰主语时,谓语动词用复数.例如:
Few of my classmates really understand me.我的同学中没有几位真正理解我.
(2)形容词前加定冠词泛指时,谓语动词用复数.例如:
In many western films, the good are well rewarded and the bad are punished. 在很多西方电影中,好人有好报,恶人有恶报.
3. 其他情况
(1)由and连接两个主语时,谓语动词一般用复数.例如:
The secretary and the headmaster of the school were present at the meeting.学校的书记和校长都出席了会议.
但当and连接的词语作整体考虑,或在意义上指同一个人或物时,谓语动词一般用单数.例如:
The secretary and headmaster of the school was present at the meeting. 学校的书记兼校长出席了会议.
当由and连接的两个单数名词前面有each ,every 等词修饰时,谓语动词一般用单数.例如:
Each actor and actress was invited. 每一位男演员和女演员都受到了邀请.
一个单数名词前有由and连接的两个形容词修饰时,谓语动词一般用复数.例如:
Chinese and Japanese silk are of good quality.中国和日本丝绸质量都好.
(2)当or, either...or, neither...nor, not only...but also连接一个单数主语和一个复数主语时,谓语动词的数取决于它邻近的主语的数.例如:
Neither the prices nor the quality has changed. 价格与质量都没变.
Neither the quality nor the prices have changed. 质量与价格都没变.
(3)集体名词作主语时,谓语动词的数常取决于主语的意义.当主语表示整体时,谓语动词用单数;当主语强调集体中的个体时,谓语动词用复数.
The family is the basic unit of the society. 家庭是社会的基本单位.
The family have agreed among themselves to spend their vacation in Italy. 一家人都同意去意大利度假.
这类集体名词有:people, army, audience, cattle, class, club, committee, crowd, family, government, group, majority, minority, party, police, public, staff, team等,其中 people, cattle, police常用复数.
(4)一些表示数量的词语,如a lot of , any of, most of, half of, two-thirds of, ninety percent of, part of, the rest of, some of, none of , all of与名词连接时,谓语动词
的数取决于名词的数.名词用单数,谓语动词也用单数,名词用复数,谓语动词也用复数.例如:
A lot of my friends are here to celebrate my birthday. 我的很多朋友来这里庆贺我的生日.
Most of the book is interesting.这本书大部分很有意思.
注意当a number of修饰主语时,谓语动词用复数,而当the number of与名词连用作主语时,谓语动词用单数.例如:
A number of students were late for school owing to the storm. 一些学生因暴风雨而迟到.
The number of errors was surprising. 错误的数量让人吃惊.
⑸ 语法填空中and前后时态一致单复数一致
and 连接两个谓语动词时,原则上说它们应在“数”方面保持一致,因为它们是“共回用”一个主语.但你说答的这个句子比较特殊,and后可视为一个省略句,即为 all of them are sold out … 之省略.
顺便说一句,and 连接两个动词时,前后不一致的“特殊”情况是多方面的,请看几个例子:
I can and will go.我能去而且也会去.(见《牛津英语用法指南》)
I am and have been in good health.我身体很好,并且一直很好.(见《英语基础词汇用法词典》)
Your steak is being grilled and will be ready in a minute.您的牛排正在烤着,马上就好.(见《朗文英语语法》)
I have always paid my bills and I always will.我一向是付账单的,今后也总是会付的.(见《牛津英语用法指南》)
⑹ 英语语法中 数和性上要与之保持一致 是什么意思
就是英语抄句子中的谓语袭动词的单复数一定要和主语的单复数保持一致。
They are at home now.
He is at home now
I often work until late night
She often works until late night
⑺ 英语问题
诸如 all, some, any, half, each, either, neither 以及 every/each 系列合成词等不定代词,通常要遵循语法一致的原则,但是有时候它们是与另一个复数名词或不可数名词的核心词一起出现或者指代一个不言自明的复数名词或不可数名词,这时候就可用适用于语法一致或概念一致的两种原则。
1. 指代或修饰复数名词用复数动词,指代不可数名词用单数动词,如:
All (the students) are complaining about this long semester. 所有的学生都在抱怨这漫长的学期。
All (the food and everything else) is ready for the picnic. 所有的食物及其他东西都已为野餐做好准备 。
Some (books) were stolen in spite of the protective measures.尽管有保护措施,一些书籍还是都被盗了。
Some (money) were deposited in the bank. 部分钱存放在银行里。
There are no words that can describe the scene. 没有语言可以描述那个现场。
There was no end to our trouble. 麻烦事没有止境。
2. 但是 neither、either、none 等代词需要视具体情况而分别适用不同的一致原则,如:
None of them has/have come back. (适用两种原则)
None of this money is mine. (只适用语法一致)
Neither of them is/are trustworthy. (适用两种原则)
Neither statement is true. (只适用语法一致)
I invited both of them but heither has come yet. (只适用语法一致)
Either rule works perfectly well on you. (只适用语法一致)
The two guests have arrived and either is welcome. (只适用语法一致)
Either of the suggestions is/are satisfactory. (适用两种原则)
3. 至于 evert/each 和该系列的合成代词,权威的语法学家已经作出硬性规定,要求遵循语法一致原则,不过在报章杂志上概念一致的用法也时有所见,因此就出现了你提出的几个句子:
Everyone in the house were/was in their beds.
Each of the jobs were/was planned by billy.
Every 100 households have/has 93 television sets and 64 cassette computers in this city.
我的建议是:尽管事实上存在,但是考试时假如两种选项同时出现,一定要以语法一致为正选,不然机器阅卷是不会通融的。
鲁迅说地上本没有路,但是走的人多了便成了路,也许这种用法有朝一日会得到语法界正式承认,但愿如此。
⑻ 英语语法里主谓一致的问题
【意义一致原则(Notional Concord)】
I. 集合名词做主语时:(参见“名词”部分)
1. 有些通常作复数用(不变词形)。如:“people , police , cattle (牛,牲口),folk , youth , militia (民兵)”,等。e.g.
The police have caught the murderer .警方已捕获凶手。
2. 有些指“整体”时作单数,指其中的“成员”时作复数(不变词形)。如 "army , audience(听众),class ,club (俱乐部) ,company(公司), committee(委员会) ,crew ,crowd ,staff(员工) ,family ,public ,government ,group ,party ,union ,couple ,population ,team ."等。e.g.
①Our family is a happy one . 我们有个幸福的家庭。
②The family are early risers. 这家人都起得早。
③The public are (is) requested not to litter. 请公众不要乱扔废弃物。
但上述集合名词也可有复数形式。如:families , two classes .等。有些变复数形式后意义不同。如:peoples多个民族。 youths男青年。 folks亲友。
II. 代词做主语时:(参见“代词”部分)
1. 不定代词"each ,one , much, (a)little ,either ,neither ,another ,the other(+单名)"等常作单数用。它们所修饰的主语也作单数。e.g.

3. 下列不定代词作复数用:“(a)few ,many ,several, both”等。e.g.
①Few (of the guests ) were familiar to us . 没几个(客人)是我们熟识的。
②Both / Both (of ) these are interesting . 两部影片都有趣。
4下列代词须视其“具体所指”来决定单、复数:
1)“what ,which ,who ,whose ”等。e.g.

②Half of the apple is bad .这只苹果坏了一半。
Ⅲ.“数词”、“数量、单位”等词语做主语时:(参见“数词”部分。)
1. 表示“运算”的数词通常作单数 。e.g.
Ten times four makes(make) forty .+ 乘以四得四十。
2.表“时间、距离、金额、度量衡”等的词语,作“整体”看时作单数用,侧重指“若干单位”时作复数用。e.g.
①Twenty years is not a long time . 二十年光阴,弹指一挥间。
②Twenty years have passed since he left. 他离开已二十个年头了。
3.“分数、百分数”通常依其“具体所指”来决定单、复数。e.g.

①A number of students in this class are (is) from Sichuan . 这个班有不少同学来自四川。
②There are a variety of toys in this shop.这家商店有各种各样的玩具。
但是,“the number(数目)/ the variety(种类)”+ of + 复数名词,作单数。e.g.
①The number of students in this college has doubled . 这所大学的学生人数翻了一番。
②The variety of goods in this shop is rich . 这家商店货物品种丰富。
Ⅳ.单、复数同形或易混的词做主语时:(参见“名词”部分)
1.以“-ics”结尾的学科名词:指教育、科研的某一学科,作单数。e.g.
Mathematics seems easy to me .我似乎觉得数学不难。
但是,表“具体的学业、活动”等时,多用作复数。e.g.
①Her mathematics are weak . 她数学差。(指“学业成绩、能力”)
②What are your politics? 你的政治观点如何?
2. “works工厂,means方法,series系列,species物种,aircraft飞机”等名词单、复数同形,要从上下文判断其具体意义来决定单、复数。e.g.
①This works was(These works were)built two years ago . 这(几)家工厂是两年前修建的。
②Every means has (All means have) been tried. 各种办法都试过了。
这类名词通常还有“fish ,deer ,sheep ,headquarters (总部驻地),bellows(风箱), plastics, gallows (绞架), manners(礼貌) ,whereabouts (行踪), ”等。(但news(消息)是不可数名词,通常只作单数用。)

1. 大多作单数用。e.g.
①What we need is more practice . 我们需要的是更多的实践。
②What he says doesn't agree with what he does. 他言行不一致。
2.若从句是含复数意义的并列结构、或“表语”是复数时,谓语动词用单数或复数两可。e.g.
①What you say and think is /are no business of mine . 你怎么说以及怎么想,不关我的事。
②What he bought was /were some books. 他所买的是几本书。
【语法一致原则】
I .主语的“人称”决定谓语动词的形式。e.g.
①I love / She loves music . 我/ 她爱好音乐。
②Are your mother a worker? (误)你母亲是工人吗?
Is your mother a worker? (正)(主语your mother 是单数第三人称)
II .主语的“数”决定谓语动词的形式。
1.“不可数名词、可数名词单数、单数代词、不定式(短语)、动名词(短语)”或“从句”等做主语,用单数谓语形式。e.g.
①The work is important . 这项工作重要。
②To serve the country is our ty. 为祖国服务是我们的义务。
③How and why he left was a sad story. 他离开的经过和原因是一段伤心的经历。
2. 复数的名词、代词一般接复数谓语形式。e.g.
①The children are taken good care of . 孩子们得到很好的照料。
②They have gone to Cheng . 他们去成都了。
III. 以“and”或“both… and”连接的并列主语:
1.通常作复数用 。e.g.
①Plastics and rubber never rot . 塑料和橡胶从不腐烂。
②What he says and what he does do not agree. 他言行不一致。
③Both Tom and I are fond of medicine. 我和汤姆都喜欢医学。
2. 如果并列主语指的是“同一个”人(事、物、抽象概念),作单数用。e.g.
①The worker and writer has come . 这位工人作家来了。
②A cart and horse was seen in the distance. 远处能看见有一套马车。
③Truth and honesty is the best policy. 真诚是最好的策略。
3. “and”前、后的单数词语都有“each, every ,many ,a ,no”等修饰时,仍作单数用。e.g.
①Every boy and every girl enjoys equal rights here.这里每个男孩和每个女孩都享有平等权益。
②No teacher and no student is excused from taking part in the activity .没有哪个教师或学生可以免于参加这项活动。
Ⅳ. 主语前、后加表“数、量”等的修饰语时:
1. a)“many a + 单名 ”接单数谓语:“a good (great ) many + 复名”接复数谓语。e.g.
①Many a fine man has died for it . 许多优秀战士为此献出了生命。
②A great many parents were present at the meeting. 许多家长出席了会议。
b)"a / an + 单名+ or two " 大多接单数谓语: "one or two + 复名"接复数谓语。e.g.
①Only a word or two is (are )needed. 只需说一两句。
②One or two reasons were suggested. 提出一两条理由。
c)"a / an + 单名+ and a half"常接单数谓语;“one and a half +复名”多接复数谓语。e.g.
①A year and a half has passed . 一年半已过去了。
②One and a half tons of rice are sold. 已卖了一吨半大米。
d) "more than one + 单名"大多接单数谓语。e.g.
①More than one person was (were )absent . 不止一个人缺席。
"more + 复名+ than one "接复数谓语。e.g.
②More students than one have been there . 不止一个学生去过那儿。
"More than two (three…) +复名 " 接复数谓语。e.g.
③More than one hundred students have attended the concert . 不止一百名学生听了这场音乐会。
2 ,主语前加表示“单位、度量”的短语如“a kind (sort / type / form /pair /cup /glass /piece / load / block / box / handful / quantity / ton / metre /… )of”等时,表示“单位、度量”的这个名词的单复数决定谓语形式。e.g.
a)①There is only a small quantity of paper (books ) left . 只剩下少量的纸(书)了。
②Large quantities of water are needed. 需要大量的水。
b)①This kind of apple is sweet . 这种苹果甜。
②This kind of apples is (are) sweet. (大多依 kind ,作单数用 )
③These kind(s) of apple(s) are sweet . (总作复数用)
但:Apples of this kind are sweet. (总作复数用)
3. 主语后接“with…”等构成的短语修饰成分时:谓语仍须与这类短语前的“主语”一致。可构成这类短语的常用“with ,along with ,together with ,as well as , but , besides , except ,added to , including , like ,no less than , rather than , more than ”等。e.g.
①A woman with two children has come . 一位妇女带着两个孩子来了。
②I as well as they am ready to help you. 不仅他们,我也愿帮助你。
4. "one of + 复数名词+ 定语从句":
1)定语从句的先行词通常是这个“复数名词”,因此从句的谓语用复数形式。e.g.
①This is one of the best novels that have appeared this year . 这是今年出版的最佳小说之一。(关系词“that”代“novels”)
②He was one of the boys who were praised . 他是受表扬的男孩之一。
2)若“one”前加“this, the ,the only ”等时,定语从句的关系词指代one,作从句主语时,接单数谓语。e.g.
He was the only one of the boys who was praised .他是男孩中唯一受到表扬的。(关系词who 代 the only one )
⑼ 英语语法和中文语法的区别
1.在汉语和英语中,同一个词语或单词往往词性不止一个。
例如,在汉语中,“美丽”既可以作名词也可以作形容词;在英语中”work”既可以作名词也可以作动词,都表示“工作”的意思。在汉语中,我们大都可以用同一个词语作不同的词性来使用,而英语中,词义相同而词性不同时,往往不能使用同一个单词。
例如:
(1)She is very kind. (她很善良)
(2)Her kindness moved me deeply.(她的善良深深打动了我)
(3)She is a happy girl. (她是一个快乐的女孩)
(4)I like chatting happily with others.(我喜欢跟别人快乐地聊天)
在例句(1)中,kind(善良)是形容词,作表语,而例句(2)中,kindness(善良)是名词,作主语;在例句(3)中,happy(快乐)是形容词,修饰名词girl,而在例句(4)中,happily(快乐)是副词,修饰动词chat。
2.英语的动词有时态,而汉语没有
英语的时态大都体现在谓语动词上,而汉语的时态则用一些虚词来表现。例如:
(1)I have finished my homework. (我已经完成我的家庭作业)
在这个例句中,汉语我们用虚词“已经”来表示动作的完成,而在英语中,则是将句中的谓语动词finish转变成现在完成时结构have finished来表现finish这个动作已经发生过了。
(2)She is reading a book carefully. (她正在认真看书)
在汉语中,用虚词“正“来表示“读书”这个动作正在进行,而英语中,则需要将“read”转变成现在进行时结构”is reading”
(3)He will be back in ten minutes. (十分钟后他将回来)
在汉语中,用虚词“将”来表示将来的动作,而英语中则需要用一般将来时的结构“will +动词原形”来表现。
⑽ 英语中语法一致的例句
1、单数主语、单个动词不定式、动名词短语以及句子作主语,谓语动词要用单数形式。复数主语,用and或both…and连接的动词不定式短语、动名词短语以及主语从句作主语,谓语动词则用复数形式。例如:
Serving the people is my great happiness. 为人民服务是我最大的幸福。
Whether we’ll go depends on the weather. 我们是否去要取决于天气的好赖。
What I think and what I seek have been fairly reflected in my paper.
我所思考的和我所寻求的都在这个论文中体现了出来。
2、由as well as, with, along with, like, together with, rather than, except, but, including, accompanied by, plus, besides, in addition to, no less than 等引起的结构跟在主语后面,不能看作是并列主语,该主语不受这些词组引导的插入语的影响,主语如是单数,其谓语动词仍然用单数形式。例如:
The reading course book, plus its reference books, is helpful to college students.
教材加上参考书对大学学生是非常有益的。
The man together with his wife and children sits on the sofa watching TV.
那个人和他妻儿老小坐在沙发上看电视。
3、有些代词只能指单数可数名词,当它们在句子中作主语时,尽管在意义上是多数,谓语动词仍要用单数形式。这类代词有either, neither, each, one, the other, another, somebody, someone, something, anyone, anything, anybody, everyone, everything, everybody, no one, nothing, nobody等。例如:
Neither likes the friends of the other. 两人都不喜欢对方的朋友。
Everything around us is matter. 我们周围的所有东西都是物质。
4、当and连结的两个名词是指同一个人或同一件事,and后的名词前没有冠词,谓语动词应该用单数形式;在and后面的名词前有冠词,谓语就用复数形式。例如:
The bread and butter is served for breakfast. 早饭供应黄油面包。
The bread and the butter are on sale. 正在出售黄油和面包。
5、当one of, a portion of, a series of, a species of, a chain of 结构作主语时,谓语动词要用单数形式。例如:
One of those students has passed the examination. 这些学生只有一个考试及格了。
A series of pre-recorded tapes has been prepared for language laboratory use.
为语音课提前准备了一系列录音磁带。
6、由one and a half + 复数名词或the majority of + 名词作作主语时,谓语动词视名词的单复数形式而定。例如:
The majority of the damage is easy to repair. 大部分的损坏品都容易修理。
7、plenty of, half of, a lot of, lots of, heaps of, loads of, scads of等 + 可数与不可数名词作主语时,不可数名词的谓语只用单数,可数名词的谓语视可数名词的单复数而定。例如:
There is plenty of water in the pail. 桶里还有好多水。
There are plenty of eggs in the box. 箱子里有好多鸡蛋。
8、由more than one (或more than one + 单数名词),many a + 单数名词作主语,谓语动词要用单数形式。例如:
More than one student has passed the examination. 不止一个学生通过了这次考试。
Many a boy learns to swim before he can read. 许多孩子在认字前就学会了游泳。
9、如果名词词组中心词是“分数或百分数 + of + 名词”,谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于of后的名词或代词的单、复数形式。例如:
Over three-quarters of the land has been reclaimed. 四分之三多的土地已经收回了。
Two-thirds of the people present are against the plan.
到场的三分之二的人都反对这个计划。
10、定语从句谓语动词的单复数形式应与先行词一致。例如:
He is one of the men who were chosen to represent the group.
被选出来代表该组的人他是其中之一。
“Keep cool” is the first of the rules that are to be remembered in an accident.
“镇静”是事故发生时应当牢记的第一条原则。
