I 随前原则:1. 主语后面带有as well as, no less than, rather than, more than, but, except, besides, with, along with, together with, like, including, combined with, in addition to, accompanied wit等词连接的名词, 根据语法一致的原则, 谓语动词根据这些词前的主语来确定动词的形式。
如:The professor together with a number of students was doing experiments in chemistry in the lab at that time.
2. 以下这些结构在句中作主语时,谓语动词的单复数取决于of前的名词: the amount of, (large) amounts of, the number of, a quantity of, quantities of, a mass of, masses of。
用a portion of, a series of, a pile of, a panel of 等引起主语时,谓语动词通常用单数。
如:A large amount of money was spent on the great bridge.
Large amounts of money were spent on the great bridge.
A series of accidents has been reported. 媒体报道了一连串的事故。
A pile of lots was set beside the hearth. 炉边有一堆木柴。
II随后原则: 1. 取决于of 后的名词的:all of, half of, some of, the rest of, plenty of, a part of, enough of, none of, most of, a lot of, lots of, mass of, a world of, a flood of, a percentage of, two thirds of, per cent of, a large amount of, heaps of, a proportion of+名词等引起主语时,谓语动词通常与of后面的名词/代词保持一致。
例如:
Most of his money is spent on books. 他大部分的钱化在书上了。
Most of the students are taking an active part in sports. 大部分学生积极参与体育运动。
2. 如 many a 或 more than one 所修饰的短语作主语时,谓语动词多用单数形式。但由more than... of 作主语时,动词应与其后的名词或代词保持一致。
例如:
Many a person has read the novel. 许多人读过这本书。
More than 60 percent of the students are from the city.百分之六十多的学生来自这个城市。
III 其他的
1、 以单数名词或代词、动词不定式短语、动名词短语或从句作主语时,谓语动词一般用单数形式;主语为复数时,谓语动词用复数形式。
例如:His father is working on the farm. /
To study English well is not easy. /
What he said is very important for us all. /
The children were in the classroom two hours ago. /
Reading in the sun is bad for your eyes. w
注意:由what引导的主语从句,后面的谓语动词多数情况用单数形式,但若表语是复数或what从句是一个带有复数意义的并列结构时,主句的谓语动词用复数形式。
例如:What I bought were three English books. / What I say and do is (are) helpful to you.
