数词作主语时主谓一致的特殊情况

主谓语的一致关系通常遵循三个原则, 即语法一致的原则, 概念一致和就近一致。 于数词 (包括表示数量的其他词) 或带有数词的词组作主语时, 如何应用上述 三原则,各类语法书均有说明,这里只谈谈一些特殊情况。 一.基数词 +名词

当基数词加名词表示时间,距离,价值或其他度量时,通常把它作为整体。

谓语动词遵循概念一致原则用单数。 但是,有时也可看作多个个体, 谓语动词根 据语法一致原则用复数。例如:

1) The past four weeks have been the driest in the country ' s history. 2) There were three quarts of mild in the refrigerator.

.One and a half+ 名词复数

英语“一个半”可以写成“ one and a half+名词复数”或“ a+名词单数+and a half . 两种形式中名词的数虽然不同,但谓语动词通常都是用单数。例如:

1) 2)

One and a half months has escaped .

A month and a half has elapsed since our last meeting.

. One in, one out of , one of 等引导的词组

英语“若干分之一”常可写成“ One in+ 数词”,“ one out of+ 数词”或“ one of+数词”,作主语时谓语动词一般用单数。例如:

1)

report says that one out of twenty machines repair.

2)Only one out of five



The survey is in need of

is in operation.

但是,在非正式文体中,也有用复数的,因为说话人所指实际上是不止 one. 如:


3) It is estimated that every one in eleven men over sixty heart failure.

suffer from

四.数字式子

用文字表达数字式子时,谓语动词通常用单数。但是当“加”用 and , “乘” 用 times 表达时,谓语动词也可用复数。例如:

1) Two and two makesfour. 2) Ten times six are sixty.

又当用“基数词 +基数词复数”的形式表达两数相乘时,位于动词遵循语法一致 原则用复数。例如:

3) Five fours are twenty.

五.表示不定数量的词语

1. many a

Many a 虽然作“许多”解,但它后面的名词习惯上用单数。谓语动词也遵循语 法一致

原则用单数。例如:

1)Many a boy learns to swim before he can read. 2) Many a ship has been wrecked on those rocks.

甚至当主语是两个由 and 连接的单数名词时,谓语动词仍用单数。例如:

3) Many a man and woman comesand goes. 2. more than one

more than one 从概念上看似乎是复数,但它后面习惯上用单数名词,谓语动词 遵循语

法一致原则用单数。例如:

1)There is more than one answer to the last question.

2)More than one example is necessary to makethe students understand this rule clearly.


如果 more than one 后面不跟名词,则当重音在 more 上时,谓语动词用复数; 当重音在 one 上时,谓语动词用单数。这一点在口语中体现。但是,当名词不在 one之后,而在more之后时(即more+名词复数+than one ),名词用复数,谓 语动词遵循语法一致原则也要用复数。例如:

3 More persons than one have been executed by the firing squad.

六. One or two+ 名词复数

一般遵循就近原则,谓语动词用复数。例如:

1) One or two examples have to be given .

2) There are one or two things I 'd like to know about.
