名词与代词
名词可分为专有名词和普通名词两类。 而普通名词又可分为个体名词、集体名词、物质名词和抽象名词。 其中,个体名词和集体名词为可数名词,而物质名词和抽象名词为不可数名词。 名词的复数构成通常是在其后加 -s ,但以 -s , -x , -ch , -sh 和大部分以 o 结尾的名词后加 -es; 以 “ 辅音字母 +y” 结尾的名词把 “y” 变成 “i” ,再加 -es 。 有些名词的复数构成是不规则的,有其特殊形式。 有些名词在不同的情况下,属不同的名词词类,因此有时为可数,有时则为不可数。 名词的格可分为主格 ( 作主语 ) ,宾格 ( 作宾语 ) 和所有格 ( 表示所有关系 ) 。
代词可分为人称代词,物主代词,反身代词,相互代词,不定代词,指示代词,关系代词,连接代词和疑问代词等九类。

形容词与副词
形容词与副词在语法结构上都有比较级和最高级,它们的构成方法基本上一样,都与音节多少有关,有些形容词相副词有特殊的比较级和最高级形式。二者基本分为同级比较、比较级和最高级三种形式。
1. 形容词与副词的用法
l 形容词中有词形相近的,应注意区别。如 :
considerate( 周到的,体贴的 )--considerable( 应考虑的 ) 例如 :
we did enjoy our staying in beijing , and mrs. yan is really considerate professor. it's a considerable success for him. eminent( 闻名的 )--imminent( 紧迫的 ) , gracious( 亲切的 )--graceful( 优雅的 ) ,live( 有生命的 )--aiive( 活的 ) , industrious( 勤劳的 )--industriai( 工业的 ) , like( 同样的 )--alike( 同样的,仅作表语 ) , opposite( 相对的 )--opposing( 反对的 ) , perspective( 透视的 )--respective( 各自的 ) , sensitive( 伤感的 )--sensible( 明显的 ) , etc 。
2) 形容词中有的词义相近的,也要注意。如
elemental( 初步的 )--fundamental( 基本的 ),eligible( 合格的 )--capable( 能干的 ) , flexible( 灵活的 )--changeable( 可改变的 ) , initial( 最初的 )--preliminary( 初步的,预备的 ) , slack( 松弛的 )--lazy( 懒惰的 ) , vaiueless( 无价值的 )--priceless( 无价的 ) , vivid( 生动的 )--living( 活的 ) , etc 。
例如 :

3) 有些词尾为 -ly 的并非副词,而是形容词 , 如 :lovely , likey , deadly , earthly( 现世的 ) , leisudy( 空闲的 ) , weekly , yearly , manly( 丈夫气概的 ) , brotherly , friendly 等。例如 :
what a lovely girl! jenny is always ready to help others.
china daily is of course a daily newspaper but not a weekly one. he is a very friendly young man. as he didn't have any experience , he was likely to have problems.
以下情况形容词常用于 后置 :1) 形容词短语,即形容词十副词,介词短语或不定式。 2) 一些表语性形容词要后置,如 :present , available , involved , concerned , etc 。 3) 形容词修饰不定代词 something , anything , everything 时要后置。例如 :
there was something nice about my feeling that she knew all.
i came across another question hard to answer then .
i wondered if there was a room available.
副词的位置 为 : 修饰哪个词就放在哪个词前面 ; 放在系动词和助动词之后,行为动词和分词之前。例如 i had a only five-dollar bill with me when i boarded the townward train.
the old law was instituted to protect the long neglected rights of children.
i can hardly believe that he is the murderer.
although he has advantages , it is still too early to say that he is sure to win.
2. 比较级与最高级的基本形式和用法
形容词的比较级和最高级的构成为 : 单音节词一般在词尾加 -er 和 -est 。 如果以 -e 结尾,仅加 -r 和 -st; 如末尾仅有一个辅音字母,须双写词尾再加 -er 和 -est; 如果以 y 结尾的,把 y 变 i ,加 -er , -est; 多音节单词和双音节词 ( 其中包括由分词和分词演变而来的形容词,如 :known , worn , wounded , shocking , striking , interesting , e.ct. 则在其前加 more 和 most; 有些形容词的比较级和最高级是不规则的,如 :good(well)-better-best , bad(il
...
l)-worse-worst , many(much)-more-most , little-less-least , far-farther(further)-farthest(furthest) 。
有些形容词没有比较级形式,如 :absolute , chief , entire , eternal , excellent , fatal , final , foremost , inevitable , infinite , main , naked , perfect , possible , primary , right , sufficient , supreme , universal , utter , vital , whole , wooden , ect. 例如 :
mary is the best student in the class.
further negotiation will be conducted next month.
the food we have is sufficient .
needless to say , he is stronger than his opponent.
一般副词的比较级和最高级与形容词一样,单音节的以在词尾加 -er 和 -est 构成,多音节的以加 more 和 most 的方法构成 ; 有些比较特殊 , 如: well-better-best , badly-worse-worst , much-more-most , little-less-least 。以 -ly 结尾的副词,在其前面加 more , most 。例如 :
tonny runs more beautiful than any other students in the class.
which do you like best , thorn birds , gone with the wind or great expectation?
i prefer less sugar in the milk.

形容词和副词的原级比较由 “as + 形容词或副词 ( 或后跟名词或短语 )+as” 构成, “as-as“ 前可加 not , just , almost , nearly , quite , twice , several times 等词修饰。否定式中 not 后面的 as 可改为 so 。例如 :”
running for fifteen minutes will burn as much calories as walking for thirty minutes.
henan province is several times as large as shanghai.
jimmy has as nervous a way of speaking as his father.
getting rid of a bad habit isn't so simple as taking it up.
形容词与副词的比较级形式为 :“ 形容词 ( 副词 ) 比较级 +than+-” ,应注意 than 前后相比较的人或物要一致。比较级前可以跟 even , much , stili 等副词修饰比较级,表示强调。例如 :
mother worried much more about my younger brother than she did about me.
sound travels faster through water than through air.
the economic development in south china is faster than that in north china .
my books are much more than li ping's.
形容词与副词的最高级的形式分别为 :“the+ 形容词最高级 + 名词十范围表达 ” 和 “ 副词最高级十名词 + 范围表达 ” ,副词的比较级和最高级不需要加 the 。例如 :
our foreign exchange reserve didn't decline despite the worst flood in sixty years.
i finished the work more successfully than he had expected.
应注意以下表达式的含义 :the same as( 和 …… 一样 ) , no less than( 不少于 ) , not less than( 只有 ) , had better( 最好 ) , less than( 不到 ) , more or less( 或多或少 ) , other than( 除了 ) , rather than( 而不是 ) , the more…the more/less( 越 …… 就越 ……)

2. 语态
英语分为主动词态和被动词态。主动语态是指句中的主语是动作的执行者,而被动语态的主语是动作的承受者。中只有及物动词、动词短词和某些成语才能构成被动语态。被动语态的构成形式为 “be+ 动词的 -ed 分词 ” 。另外, “
...
be+get+ 动词 -ed 分词 ” 是特殊形式。
1 )动词的被动语态有以下几种时态的变化(以 find 为例:)
现在时: is (are)found 将来时: shall (will)be found 现在进行时: is (are)being found
现在完成时: have (has)been found 将来完成时: shall (will)have been found 过去时: was (were)found
过去将来时: should (would)be found 过去进行时: was (were)being found 过去完成时: had been found 过去将来完成时: should (would)have been found
例: mineral water has been regarded by all people as a healthy drink.
the program bad been conducted in both the united states and europe well before 1900.
2 )能作及物动词的短语动词也可用被动态,应注意其固定搭配。例如:

some critics maintain that when a work of literature lacks reference to the general experience of mankind, it fails as art.
从句
从句分为定语从句,状语从句和名词从句三大类。定语从句又分为限定性和非限定性从句两种,由关系代词或关系副词引导,修饰主句的某个成分。状语从句分为时间、结果、让步原因、条件及行为方式状语从句。名词从句包括主语、宾语、表语和同位语从句及 there be 句型。
1. 定语从句
限定性定语从句中 that 可代表人和事,而 which 只代表事;二者在从句中作主语或宾语。 that 作宾语时常可省略, which 则不能,而且其后的 “ 不及物动词 + 介词 ” 中的介词不能省略。 which 作宾语时,先行词与 which 之间的介词不能省。例如:
the first doll that could say “mama”was invented in 1830.
the second half of his voyage was by far the more dangerous part, during (不能省) which he sailed round the cape horn.
代表 all, anything, something, nothing, much 等词时,用 that 而不用 which , that 作宾语可省略。例如:

that is the last time we met each other.
i came across the woman you told me about yesterday.
who 和 whom 引导的从句用来修饰人,分别作从句的主语和宾语。 where 是关系副词,用于表示地点的定语从句,而 when 用来表示时间。 whose 是关系代词,修饰名词作定语。例如:
henrey ford is the person who is most responsible for developing the idea of mass production.
the knee is the joint where the thigh bone meets the large bone of the lower leg.
the next morning when she came down to breakfast, mary was beaming with the pleasure ( 眉飞色舞 , 笑逐颜开 )of a new, great discovery.
the visiting professor is a famous scientist whose son studies in my department.
在下列情况,限定性定语从句的关系代词可以省略; 1 )当关系代词在从句中作宾语或表语;或它们在从句中作介词的宾词,而该介词又在句末时; 2 )当先行词是 that, all, only, everything, something, nothing 等代词时,或先行词前有一个最高级形容词修饰时; 3 )当先行词前有 only, any, all, first, no, last 等修饰时,或先行词就是 time, moment, way(any-way) direction, distance 等名词时,关系代词即可省略。例如:
the delegation we has been waiting for finally arrived
i met the woman you told me about.
she gave me all she could afford.
with tv we can see things happen almost at the exact moment they are happening.
非限定性定语从句,其作用为:对所修饰的成分作进一步的说明,它与主句用逗号隔开。此类从句省略后其余部分仍可成立。在非限定性定语从句中, which 可代表前面的整个句子;代表人时只能用 who, whom, 而不能用 that; as 也可用作关系代词。例如:
the telephone, as we know, was the invention of alexander graham bell.

2. 不定式的用法
1 )不定式结构作主语
to get contact with family in taiwan made him extremely happy since they separated more than 40 years ago.
to finish that task in such a short time is really a challenge.
在上述情况下,如果不定式较长,显得头重脚轻,则可由代词 it 作形式主语(形式主语 it 不可由 that 或 this 等其他代词代替),而将不定式放在后面。如:
it made him extremaly happy to get contact with his family in taiwan since they separated more than 40 years ago.
john admitted that it is always difficult for him to be on time.
不定式结构所表示的动作是谁做的,即不定式的逻辑主语,通常可以通过 for sb.to do sth. 结构表达。
it is quite important for us to read good books during a general review.
it is not difficult f or those talented students to pass the exam.
在某些形容词(如: careless, clever, considerate, foolish, good, impolite, kind, naughty, nice, silly, stupid 等)作表语时,不定式后可以加 of 来引导出其逻辑主语:
it is very kind of you to tell me the truth.
&
...
nbsp; it is stupid of him to do such a silly thing.
2 )不定式作宾语
不定式作宾语有两种:一种是及物动词后直接跟带 to 的不定式,另一种是 “ 及物动词 + 疑问句 + 带 to 的不定式 ” 。
及物动词 + 带 to 的不定式结构: 只能跟动词不定式的动词,常见的有:
afford, agree, aim, appear, ask, believe,?care, claim, ecide, demand,desire, determine, expect, fail, happen, hesitate, hope, intend, learn, long, manage, offer, pretend,promise, prepare, refuse,seek, sweat,
undertake,want,wish 等。(须记住) he managed to solve the complicated problem
the stranger offered to show me the way.
mr.smith undertook to build a new plant in south africa.
动词 + 疑问代(副)词 + 不定式:这类动词常见的有: advise, decide, discuss, find out, forget, inquire ,know, learn, regard, remember, see, teach, tell, understand, wonder 等。常用的疑问代(副)词有 what, when, where, which, how, whether 等,但不包括 why 。
he does not know when to start.
you can decide whether to continue or to stop.
i will show you how to deal with it.
有时,不定式可由 it 代替,而把不定式放到后面去。这可以用这一结构表达:动词(如 find, think, consider, feel 等) +it+ 形容词 + 不定式。
she considers it necessary to make friends with them.
we find it difficult to finish all the homework before 9 o'clock.
3 )不定式作表语
一般情况为主语是不定式(表示条件),表词也是不定式(表示结果):
to see is to believe. to work means to earn a living.
另一种情况为主语是 aim, duty, hope, idea, job, plan, problem, purpose, thing, wish 等名词为中心的短语,或以 what 引导的名词性从句,不定式表语对主语起补充说明作用:
his aim is to study abroad in the near future.
the most important thing is to negotiate with them about the problem.
what i want to say is to forget all the unhappy experience.
4 )不定式作定语
不定式结构作名词词组修饰语主要有三种类型:
第一种,被修饰的名词词组是不定式的逻辑宾语。例如:
there was really nothing to fear. he gave me an interesting book to read.
如果不定式是不及物动词,后面就得加相应的介词。例如:
mary needs a friend to play with. that girl has nothing to worry about.
they have a strict teacher to listen to .
although the film had been on for ten minutes, i still was not able to find a chair to sit on.
第二种,被修饰的名词词组是不定式的逻辑主语。例如:
have you got a key to unlock door?
the action to be taken is correct.
there is nothing to be gained by pretending.
第三种,被修饰的名词词组是不定式的同位结构。这类名词通常是表示企图、努力、倾向、目的、愿望、打算、能力、意向等意义的名词,如 ability, attempt, effort, impulse, inclination, wish 等。例如:
her daughter will make an even bigger effort to please her.
i have no wish to quarrel with you.
neither of them had any inclination to do business with mary.
( 5 )不定式作状语
不定式结构在句中作状语通常都能转换为限制性状语从句。例如作原因状语:
they are quite surprised to see the great changes taking place in the area.
=they are quite surprised because they see the great changes taking place in the area.
he was lucky to arrive before dark.
作目的状语:
she raised her voice to be heard better. =she raised her voice so that she could be heard better.
we went via heidelberg to miss the traffic jam.
=we went via heidelberg so that we could miss the fraffic jam.
作结果状语:
the french football team played so successfully that they even defeated the brazilians.
he got to the station only to be told the train had gone.
=he got to the station and was told that the train had gone.
3. 不带 to 的不定式的使用
动词不定式通常带 to ,但有些搭配中不带 to ,在另一些搭配中可带 to 可不带 to 。归纳起来,以下情况下使用不带 to 不定式:
1 )在 can/could, may/might, will/would, shall/should, must, need, dare 等情态动词之后,动词不定式不带 to 。
2 )在表示感觉意义的动词,如 see, feel, watch, notice, smell, hear, observe 等后,或是表示 “ 致使 ” 意义的动词,如 have, let, make 等后,动词不定式不带 to 。例如: i often heard him say that he would study hard.
i must have him see his own mistakes.
但是,当这类结构转移为被动语态时,后面的不带 to 不定式一般转换为带 to 不定式。
例如: he was often heard to say that be would study hard.
after he
[7] ...
had finished the speaking, he was made to answer innumerable questions.
3 )在动词 help 之后可用不带 to 和不定式,也可用带 to 的不定式。例如:
help the old lady(to)carry the heavy box.
4 )在 had better, would rather, may/might as well, rather than, cannot but 等搭配之后,动词不定式也不带 to 。例如:
unless you feel too ill to go out, i would rather not stay at home tonight.
she could not but criticize his foolish behaviour.
5 )在 make do, make believe, let drop, let fall, let fly, let slip, let drive, let go off, hear, say, hear tell, leave go of 等固定搭配中,用不带 to 的动词不定式。例如:
they let go off the rope 。他们松开了绳子。
john let fly a torrent of abuse at me 。约翰朝我痛骂了一顿。
i've heard tell of him 。我听说过他。
some of the faculty were let go for lack of the students. 由于生源不足,一些教职员工被解雇了。
6 )在介词 but, except 之后,如果其前有动词 do 的某种形式,其后不定式一般不带 to ,反之则必须带 to ,表示 “ 不得不,只能 ” 。例如:
he will do anything except work on the farm.
there was nothing left for the enemy to do but surrender.
the spy was both hungry and cold; there was nothing left for him but to give in.
i had no choice but to wait till it stopped raining.
下面一些短语是固定搭配,不带 to :
can not help but, can not choose but, can not but, do nothing but, have nothing to do but 。例如:
i can not but admire his courage.
如果上述句中有 do , to 省略:
i did nothing but watch tv last night.
如果是下面一个固定搭配,就带 to :
i have no choice but to give up my idea.
7 )紧跟在 why 或 why not 之后的动词不定式总是不带 to 。但是,紧跟 who, what,
which, whether 等连接词后的不定式带 to 。例如:
why stand up if you can sit down?
why not ask your teacher when you don't understand the meaning?
you needn ' t decide yet whether to study arts or science.
4 不定式的完成式和进行式
1 )构成
完成式: to+have done
进行式: to+be doing
2 )用法
完成式:如果不定式所表示的动作(状态)发生在主要谓语动作之前,那么不定式就要用其完成式。
进行式:如果主要谓语动作(情况)发生时,不定式所表示的动作正在发生,那么不定式就要用其进行式。例如: she feels relaxed to have finished writing her thesis before the deadline.
the vikings are believed to have discovered america.
when you called me last night, i happened to be working on the computer.
5. 不定式的被动形式
当不定式的逻辑主语是动作的承受者时,不定式要用被动形式,包括它的一般式和完成式。例如:
the snow was supposed to have blown off the mountain.
6. 不定式的否定形式
否定形式是在不定式的标志 to 前加 not 。例如:
i decided not to ask him again.
please remember not to leave the lights on when are out.
动名词
1. 动名词的形式
动名词是由动词原形 +-ing 构成(如 writing) ,有完成时态和被动语态(如 having written, being written) 。
2. 动名词的用法
动名词通常在句中作主语和宾语。
1 )动名词作主语
going to the college is the little boy's dream.
keeping studying hard will make you pass the exam.
2 )动名词作宾语
有些动词后面只能带动名词作宾语,不能带不定式作宾语。此类动词常见的有: admit, acknowledge, anticipate, appreciate, avoid, consider ,contemplate, defer, delay, deny, detest, dislike ,ensure, enjoy, escape, excuse, evade, facilitate, fancy, favour, finish, forbid, imagine, include, keep, mind, miss, postpone, practise, resent, resist, risk, suggest, quit, worth 等。例如:

i cannot resist (his)bargaining.
although punctual himself, the professor was quite used to students' being late for his lecture.
4 )动词或短语后面也可以接动名词的被动形式。用主动形式还是被动形式,要根据包子的意思而定。例如:
&nbs
[8] ...
p; carlos just missed being caught.
that person wore dark glasses to avoid being recognized.
i object to being treated like a child.
3. 另一类动词后面可以带动名词作宾语,也可以带不定式作宾语。这类动词又可以分为两种:
1 )带动名词作宾语与带不定式作宾语而意义无多大区别的动词
a )在 begin, cannot bear, cease, continue, dread, like, love, neglect, omit, propose 等动词之后,如表示一般的行为,用动名词作宾语为多;如表示特定的或具体的动作,则不定式结构作宾语为多。例如:
i don't like swimming.
i don't like to swim this afternoon.
john prefers doing it his way.
john prefers to go outing tomorrow.
b )在 begin, start 等动词之后,如表示有意的动作,用动名词结构为多;如表示特定的或具体的动作,则用不定式结构作宾语为多。例如:
after some hesitation, he began speaking out his own opinion.
it has already begun to rain.
c )在 attempt, intend, plan 等动词之后,用不定式结构与动名词结构意义相同,但以用不定式较为常见。例如:
he intended to buy a new car.
he intended travelling abroad next summer.
d )在 encourage, permit, allow, recommend, advise, authorise 等动词之后,一般用动名词作宾语,或者用不定式作宾语补足语。即:
encourage/permit/allow/recommend/advise/
authorise+doing,encourage/permit/allow/recommend/
advise/authorise+somebody+to do
例如:
he advised going out for a walk.
he advised us to go out for a walk.
e )在 agree, decide 等动词之后,可以直接跟不定式结构, 但如果跟动名词,则动词后必须加适当的介词。例如:
in the end the manager decided to double the advertising budget.
=in the end the manager decided on doubling the advertising budget.
f )在 need, want, require, deserve 等动词之后,可以用 动名词的主动形式表示被动 意义,这相当于不定式的被动形式。例如:
the house needs repairing.
=the house needs to be erpaired.
the disabled deserve respecting.
=the disabled decerve to be respected.
2 )带动名词作宾语与带不定式作宾语而意义不同的动词
a )动词 remember, forget 后可以跟不定式或动名词,但意义有明显区别:跟动名词,其动作发生在 “ 记得 ” 或 “ 忘记 ” 的动作之前;跟不定式,其动作发生在 “ 记得 ” 或 “ 忘记 ” 的动作之后。试比较:
i remember posting this letter. 我记得这封信已寄出了。
i remember to post this letter in the afternoon. 我记得下午要将这封信寄走。
b )动词 regret 后可以跟不定式或动名词,但意义有明显区别:
regret doing: 为做过的事感到抱歉
regret to do :为即将要做的事感到抱歉
试比较: i regret to say that i can not go with you after school.
i regret having criticised you seriously in class.
c )动词 try, mean, cannot help, used to 后跟不定式还是动名词,取决于这些词本身的含义。例如:
you should try to answer the questions by yourself.(try to d 试着做某事 )
we try using this new method.(try doing :试着做某事 )
i meant to go to the exhibition but i forgot(mean to do :打算做某事 )
success means working very hard.(mean doing: 意味着做某事 )
i can't help apologizing.(cannot help doing: 忍不住做某事 )
i can't help to apologize for him.(cannot help to d 不能帮助做某事 )
mr.smith used to jog in the morning, but now he has stopped.(used to d 过去经常或总是干某事 )
inland canals are used to ship farm and factory goods to nearby towns.(be used to d 被用来干某事 )
i am not used to getting up early in the morning.(be/get used to doing: 惯于干某事 )
d )动词 stop, continue, go on, leave off 之后,通常用动名词结构作宾语,如果用不定式结构,则不是宾语而是目的状语,相当于 in order to 。试比较:
they stopped working 。他们停止工作(来做其他事)。
they stopped to work 。他们停止(帮其他事)来工作。
the students went on reciting the text. 们继续背诵课文。
the students went on to recite the text. 们停下其他事,继续背诵课文。
she left off doing the housework. 她停止做家务(去干其他事)。
she left off to do the housework. 她停止(干其他事)来做家务。
4. 动名词的逻辑主语问题
动名词,顾名思义,具有名词的特点,即可以加物主代词和名词的属格来表示其逻辑主语(这时动名词的逻辑主语与句子主语不一致)。如果动名词的逻辑主语就是句子主语,则前面不用加物主代词或名词的属格。例如: the watchman reported finding the door open.
=the watchman reported that he had found the door open.
此外, finding 的主语与主句主语一致,都是 the watchman ,所以 finding 前不加物主代词。
i appreciated very much your helping me through the tough period.
此处, helping 的主语是 you ,而主语是 i ,两者不一致,所以 helping 前的物主代词 your 不能省略。
[9] ...
一般说来,能带动名词作宾语的动词都可以根据语义意图在动名词之前加上或略去逻辑主语。但有些动词,如 excuse, forgive, pardon 等,其后的动名词结构总是带有逻辑主语的。这些逻辑主语通常由名词或代词宾格表示,也可由名词属格或形容词性物主代词表示。例如:
i do mind people smoking in public places. (名词宾格作逻辑主语)
we don't understand him needing so much money. (代词宾格作逻辑主语)
i will never forgive his betraying me by breaking his promise. (物主代词作逻辑主语)
mary excused the boy's upsetting the ink. (名词属格作逻辑主语)
前后呼应
1. 主谓一致的基本原则:
主谓一致有以下三条原则:
1) 语法一致原则,即在语法形式上取得一致。例如,主语是单数形式,谓语动词也采取单数形式;主语是复数形式,谓语动词也采取复数形式。
the students are very young. this picture looks beautiful.
2) 意义一致原则,即从意义着眼处理一致关系。例如,主语形式虽是单数但意义是复数,谓语动词也采取复数形式;而有些主语形式虽是复数但意义上看作单数,谓语动词也采取单数形式。
the people in that country are fighting for independence.
the crowd deeply respect their leader.
three years in a strange land seems a long time.
3) 就近原则,即谓语动词的单数和复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语。例如:
neither he nor i am going to see the film tonight because we are busy.
2. 主谓一致的用法
根据以上三条原则,主谓一致有以下用法:
1) 下列结构作主语,谓语动词一般用单数形式
a. 表示时间、重量、长度、价值的名词作主语,谓语动词通常用单数形式。例如:
two hundred miles is a long distance. ten dollars is a high price for that book.
b. 由 anyone, anything, anybody, no once, nothing, everyone, everybody , everything, someone, somebody, each, either, neither someone is knocking at the door.
anything is better than going to the movie tonight.
c. 由 “a series of, a kind of, a portion of+ 名词 ” 作主语,谓语动词应用单数形式。例如:
a series of debates is scheduled to be held next week.
d. 由 “many a, more than one+ 单数名词 ” 作主语,尽管意义上表示复数,但 谓语动词仍采用单数形式 。例如: many a person in these circumstances has hoped for a long break.
there is more than one answer to your question.
e.“ 名词 +and + 名词 ” 作主语,表示同一人、同一概念或事物时,谓语动词用单数形式。例如:
a writer and educator is giving a lecture now. (这个人既是作家又是家)
f.“either(neither)+of+ 复数名词(或代词) ” 作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。例如:
if either of you takes a vacation now, we will not be able to finish the work.
neither of them wants to come.
g. 在 each…and each…,every…and every… 等结构之后,谓语动词用单数形式。例如:
each man and each woman has the right to vote.
h. 动词不定式、动名词或分句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式。例如:
what i want to say is none of your business.
listening to the classical music is enjoyable.
i. 以 -ics 结尾的复数名词指一门学科时,如 politics (学), mathematics (), statistics (统计学), acoustics (声学), linguistics (语言学)等,谓语动词用单数形式。例如:
mathematics is what he majors in.
2) 下列结构作主语,谓语动词单复数形式取决于 of 后的名词。
a. 由 “all, none, no, most, half, the last, the rest, the remainder+of + 名词 ” 等不定代词作主语,谓语动词单复数形式 由 of 后名词的单复数而定 。例如:
none of the food is wasted. none of the students were absent. the rest of the lecture was dull.
the rest of the bikes were on sale yesterday.
b. 由 “lots of, heaps of, loads of , scads of + 名词 ” 作主语,谓语动词单复数形式由 of 后名词的单复数而定。例如:
lots of work is to be done this week.
lots of people are going to swim this afternoon.
there is loads of milk on the farm.
there are loads of big red apples on the ground.
there is heaps of fun.
c. 由 “ 分数或百分数 +of+ 名词或代词 ” 做主语,谓语动词的单复数形式取决于 of 后名词或代词的单复数形式。例如: three-quarters of the area is cultivated.
ninety percent of the students have passed the exam.
3) 下列结构作主语,谓语动词的单复数形式根据意义而定
a. 由 “the+ 形容词 ” 这种结构作主语,根据意义一致的原则决定谓语动词的单复数形式。如果表示一类人(如 the rich, the poor, the blind, the deaf, the sick, the young, the old ),谓语动词用复数形式;如果表示个人或抽象概念,谓语动词用单数形式。例如:
the blind are taught trades in special schools. (表示一类人)
the good in him overweighs the bad. (表示抽象概念)
the departed was a good friend of his. (表示个人)
