主谓一致
知识点:
定义:主谓一致指句子的谓语动词与其主语在人称和数上必须保持一致。
主谓一致要遵循三个基本原则,即语法一致原则、意义一致原则和就近一致原则。
一、语法一致
语法一致指主语和谓语在语法形式上保持一致,即主语是单数形式时,谓语动词也用单数形式;主语是复数形式时,谓语动词也用复数形式。
1.单数可数名词或代词单数、不可数名词作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式;可数名词复数或代词复数作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。

6.主语后带有伴随状语with,together with, along with, as well as等时,谓语动词的数与主语保持一致。

7.数量词 most.rest,several, many,few,分数、百分数等+of+名词”作主语,谓语动词与of后的名词保持数的一致。 如果of后的名词是单数名词不可数名词,谓语动词用单数;of后的名词是复数名词,谓语动词用复数。
