第4课

主谓一致：指的就是给出主语，要求判断谓语动词是用单数还是复数的问题。

一、就近原则：

指句子的主语由两部分单词或短语构成时，由离谓语动词近的那部分主语来决定谓语动词的单复数。

只有当以下单词或短语连接主句的两部分时就近原则才适用：

1. or 或者； 2. either … or … 不是…就是… ，…或… ； 3. neither … nor … 既不…也不… ；

4. not only … but also … 不但…而且… ； 5. not … but … 不是…而是…

例如：主语1 or 主语2 谓语动词。 此时由主语2决定谓语动词。

10. _C_ either he or his accountants going to claim for the loss?

A Are   B Where   C Is   D Does

如果题目改变为：Either he or his accountants ___ going … 则应选A

二、句子谓语动词一定用复数的两种情况：

1. 集合名词做主语，集合名词没有复数形式，因为他本身就代表一个复数概念。

常见的几个复合名词： people 人民，人们； police 警察； cattle 牛； poultry 家禽。

2. 表示数量的复数名词 + 不可数名词，整体做主语时

例如：去年出口了八百万顿煤。 Eight million tons of coal were exported last year.

三、谓语动词一定用单数的六种情况：

1. 句子的主语是由从句充当的、动词不定式短语作主语、动名词短语作主语；

2. 表示时间、重量、长度、价值四方面的词做主语；

399. -- “How many days?”

0    -- “Did you say that five days _C_ required to complete that work?”

A are   B were   C was   D is

3. 表示单数概念的主语，短语，谓语动词，此时谓语动词也用单数；

因为此结构中短语只是对主语提供附加说明情况，所以谓语动词也用单数。

当以下这些标志性的介词或介词短语出现在此结构中时可以不管中间的附加说明情况：

with, together with, like, except, besides, in addition to, rather than, as well as

注意：表示复数概念的主语，短语，谓语动词，此时谓语动词应用复数。

4. each, every, either, some, any, no，由以上六个词中任何一个所构成的复合代词作主语时；

some经常构成的三个复合代词：something, somebody, someone；

no经常构成的三个复合代词：nothing, nobody, no one； either of + 短语；

5. 通常由and连接两部分这种形式做主语谓语动词要用复数，但在以下两种情况下则应用单数；

1> and连接的两部分指的是同一事物；

2> and连接的两部分被no, each, every中任何一个词修饰时；

例如：每位男士和女士都要着装得体。 be supposed to do sth. 理应，应该做某事。

Every man and every woman is supposed to dress properly.

11. Many an airplane _B_ in the exhibition.

A are shown   B has been shown   C has shown   D show them

many a(an) 很多，相当于many； many a(an) + 可数名词单数，做主语时谓语动词用单数。

6. many a (an) + 可数名词单数，作主语时谓语动词用单数。

9. Not only Joan but her sisters _B_ the combination to the safe which contains the list of the family securities.

A have known   B know   C knows   D is knowing

not only … but also … 的一种变形形式，not only … but …

另一种变形形式not only … but … as well

combination n. 密码； combination to the safe 保险箱密码； securities有价证券。

41. She ought to stop work; she has a headache because she _A_ too long.

42. Niagara Falls is a great tourist _B_, drawing millions of visitors every year.

A attention   B attraction   C appointment   D arrangement

blind date 两人第一次见面的约会。 appointment 指公事性质的，比较正式的约会。

43. I don't mind _B_ the decision as long as it is not too late.

第5课

虚拟语气

一、虚拟语气的规则用法：

1主、从句都表示与过去事实相反：

从句的谓语动词用：had + 动词过去分词；

主句的谓语动词用：情态动词 + have + 动词过去分词。

注意：能用于虚拟语气的情态动词只有四个：should, could, would, might.

使用哪一个情态动词要由句子含义决定，考试中出现最多的是could, would.

2 主、从句都表示与现在事实相反：

从句的谓语动词用：动词过去式（如果是be则只能用were）

主句的谓语动词用：情态动词 + 动词原形。

3 主、从句都表示与将来事实相反：

从句的谓语动词用：were to + 动词原形（重点）、should + 动词原形、动词过去式；

主句的谓语动词用：情态动词 + 动词原形。

二、虚拟语气的特殊应用：

1 would rather + 句子，这时句子谓语动词用一般过去时来体现虚拟语气。

2 if only 如果，要是...就好了，if only + 句子，这时句子一定要用虚拟语气。

有两种形式可以体现虚拟语气：

a. 如果该句子如果表示与现在或将来事实相反，谓语动词用一般过去时。

b. 如果该句子如果表示与过去事实相反，谓语动词用过去完成时。

70. Look at the terrible situation I am in! If only I _B_ your advice.

A follow   B had followed   C would follow   D have followed

47. If only the committee _D_ the regulations and put them into effect as soon as possible

A approve   B will approve   C can approve   D would approve

注意：当if only后的句子表示与现在或将来事实相反，该用动词过去式来表示虚拟语气，而选项中又没有时，可以采用这种形式：would + 动词原形。

3 当以下动词后加句子时，句子应用虚拟语气，句子谓语动词的形式是：（should）+ 动词原形。

a. 表示建议、提议的：suggest, advise, propose, recommend, move.

[move只有在表达在会议上提出提议时后面加虚拟语气]

b. 表示要求的：ask, demand, require, request, desire.

c. 表示指挥、命令的：order, command, direct.

d. 表示坚持，坚持认为的：insist.

4 it is + 第三点中动词的过去分词 + that引导的从句。

这样的结构中从句谓语动词形式为：（should）+ 动词原形。

以下几个形容词置于该结构中时也要用相同的形式来体现虚拟语气：

important, necessary, essential, obligatory（有义务的，强制性的，必须的）。

5 第三点中动词相应的名词形式 + that引导从句，该从句同样要用虚拟语气，

谓语动词形式为：（should）+ 动词原形。

经常用于这种结构的词有：suggestion, advice, proposal, recommendation, motion.

6 以下一些表达方式所在的句子一定要用虚拟语气。

or(表示否则), otherwise, unless, but for(若不是，若非)
