2019屆高考英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)語(yǔ)法復(fù)習(xí)
3）表示金錢，時(shí)間，價(jià)格或度量衡的復(fù)合名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，通常把這些名詞看作一個(gè)整體，謂語(yǔ)一般用單數(shù)。例如：
three weeks was allowed for making the necessary preparations. 用三個(gè)星期來(lái)做準(zhǔn)備。
ten yuan is enough. 十元夠了。
5.指代意義決定謂語(yǔ)的單復(fù)數(shù)
1）代詞what, which, who, none, some, any, more, most, all等詞的單復(fù)數(shù)由其指代的詞的單復(fù)數(shù)決定。例如：
all is right. 一切順利。
all are present. 人都到齊了。
2）集體名詞作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)的數(shù)要根據(jù)主語(yǔ)的意思來(lái)決定。如family, audience, crew, crowd, class, company, committee等詞后，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)這個(gè)集體中的各個(gè)成員，用單數(shù)時(shí)強(qiáng)調(diào)該集體的整體。例如：
his family isn't very large. 他家成員不多。
his family are music lovers. 他家個(gè)個(gè)都是音樂(lè)愛(ài)好者。
但集合名詞people, police, cattle, poultry等在任何情況下都用復(fù)數(shù)形式。例如：
are there any police around? 附近有警察嗎？
3）有些名詞，如variety, number, population, proportion, majority 等有時(shí)看作單數(shù)，有時(shí)看作復(fù)數(shù)。例如：
a number of +名詞復(fù)數(shù)+復(fù)數(shù)動(dòng)詞。
the number of +名詞復(fù)數(shù)+單數(shù)動(dòng)詞。
a number of books have lent out.
the majority of the students like english.
6.與后接名詞或代詞保持一致的情況
1）用half of, most of, none of, heaps of, lots of, plenty of 等引起主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常與of后面的名詞/代詞保持一致。例如：
most of his money is spent on books. 他大部分的錢化在書上了。
most of the students are taking an active part in sports. 大部分學(xué)生積極參與體育運(yùn)動(dòng)。
2）用a portion of, a series of, a pile of, a panel of 等引起主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞通常用單數(shù)。例如： a series of accidents has been reported. 媒體報(bào)道了一連串的事故。
a pile of lots was set beside the hearth. 爐邊有一堆木柴。
3）如 many a 或 more than one 所修飾的短語(yǔ)作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞多用單數(shù)形式。但由more than… of 作主語(yǔ)時(shí)，動(dòng)詞應(yīng)與其后的名詞或代詞保持一致。例如：
many a person has read the novel. 許多人讀過(guò)這本書。
more than 60 percent of the students are from the city.百分之六十多的學(xué)生來(lái)自這個(gè)城市。
