1. 指代意义决定谓语的单复数
1)代词what, which, who, none, some, any, more, most, all等词的单复数由其指代的词的单复数决定。例如:
All is right.
All are present。
2)集体名词作主语时,谓语的数要根据主语的意思来决定。如family, audience, crew, crowd, class, company, committee等词后,谓语动词用复数形式时强调这个集体中的各个成员,用单数时强调该集体的整体。例如:
His family isn’t very large。
His friend are music lovers.
但集合名词people, police, cattle, poultry等在任何情况下都用复数形式。例如:
Are there any police around?
3)有些名词,如variety, number, population, proportion, majority 等有时看作单数,有时看作复数。例如:
A number of +名词复数+复数动词。
The number of +名词复数+单数动词。
A number of houses have lent out。
The majority of the children like English。
2.与后接名词或代词保持一致。
1)用half of, most of, none of, heaps of, lots of, plenty of 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 time is spent on books。
Most of the students are taking an active part in sports。
2)用a portion of, a series of, a pile of 等引起主语时,谓语动词通常用单数。例如:
A series of accidents has been reported。
A pile of lots was set beside the hearth。
3)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。例如:
Many a person has read the novel。
More than 60 percent of the students are from the city。
