高中英语语法--主谓一致
概述：
1)语法形式上要一致,即用作主语的名词中心词和谓语动词在单、复数形式上一致
2)意义上要一致,即主语和谓语的一致关系取决于主语的单、复数意义.并列结构作主语时当意义为复数时谓语用复数
注意: 当主语由and连结时,如果它表示一个单一的概念,即指同一人或同一物时,谓语动词用单数,and 此时连接的两个词前只有一个冠词.The iron and steel industry is very important to our life.The League secretary and monitor ___ asked to make a speech at the meeting.A.is B.was C.are D.were 答案B.注:在英语中,当一人兼数职时只在第一个职务前加定冠词.后面的职务用and 相连.这样本题主语为一个人,所以应选B.主谓一致中的靠近原则
当there be 句型的主语是一系列事物时,谓语应与最邻近的主语保持一致.There is a pen, a knife and several books on the desk..There are twenty boy-students and twenty-three girl-students in the class.总的来说，在由not only…but also…, not just…but…, or, either…or…, neither…nor…连接主语的句子中及在there be句型中，谓语动词的单复数按就近原则处理，即按与谓语动词最靠近的那个主语来确定谓语动词的单复数形式。如： Not only John but also I am going to Shanghai next week.Either you or she is to go.Here is a pen, a few envelops and some paper for you.谓语动词与前面的主语一致
当主语后面跟有with, together with, like, except, but, no less than, as well as 等词引起的短语时,谓语动词与前面的主语一致.The teacher together with some students is visiting the factory.He as well as I wants to go boating.谓语需用单数
1)代词each和由every, some, no, any等构成的复合代词作主语,或主语中含有each, every, 谓语需用单数.Each of us has a tape-recorder.There is something wrong with my watch.2)当主语是一本书或一条格言时,谓语动词常用单数.The Arabian Night is a book known to lovers of English.< The Arabian Night >是英语爱好者熟悉的一本好书.3)表示金钱,时间.距离.价格或度量衡的复合名词作主语时,通常把这些名词看作一个整体,谓语一般用单数.(用复数也可,意思不变.)
4,all指人时,动词用复数;all指物时,动词用单数.例如: “All are present and all is going well.” 所有人全部到场了,一切进展顺利
5,what引导的主语从句,谓语动词可视表语而定:表语是单数名词时,动词用单数,相反,则用复数.例如: What they want to get is the number of good books.他们想得到的是大量的好书.6,and连接的两个单数名词前若用each,every,no修饰,该名词短语作主语时,谓语动词用单数形式.例如:
No book and no pen is found in the schoolbag.书包里没有书和钢笔.7,当主语后面有as well as, with, along with, together with, but, like, rather than, except等引导的短语时,谓语动词要与最前面的主语保持一致.例如: My father as well as his workmates has been to Beijing.我父亲和他同事曾去过北京.8,each作主语的同位语时, 谓语动词由主语来决定,与each无关.例如: They each have a bike.他们每人有一辆自行车.9,动词不定式,动词-ing形式短语作主语时,谓语动词常用单数.例如: Going out for a walk after supper is a good habit.晚饭后出去散步是一个好习惯.10,the following作主语时,谓语动词的数与后面名词的数保持一致.例如: The following are good examples下面是一些好例子.11,以-ics结尾的学科名词,如politics,physics,mathematics等作主语时,谓语动词用单数.以-s结尾的名词news, works, plastics等同属此类.例如: Politics is now taught in all schools.现在各学校都开设政治课.当以-ics结尾的学科名词表示“学科”以外的意义时，用作复数，如：mathematics（运算能力）politics(政治观点)economics（经济意义）等
12,有些用来表示由两个对应部分组成一体的名词复数(trousers, glasses,shoes.shorts.scissors.scales等)作主语时,前面若有“一条”,“一副”,“一把”之类的单位词,动词用单数;若没有单位词或单位词是复数,则谓语动词用复数.例如: The shoes are all right.这些鞋子都很合适.还有一些以-s结尾的名词通常用复数：
arms（武器）.clothes.contents.minites（记录）.remains（遗体）.thanks等 13,“one and a half +名词”作主语时,谓语动词要用单数.例如: One and a half apples is left on the table.桌子上有一个半苹果.14,“One or two more +复数名词”作主语时,谓语动词用复数.例如: One or two persons are sent there to help them do the work.要派一两个人到那儿去给他们帮忙.15,“one of+复数名词+ 定语从句”结构中,定语从句的谓语动词要用复数;而在“the only one of +复数名词+定语从句”的结构中,定语从句的谓语动词要用单数.例如: He is one of the students who get there on time.他是准时到达那里的学生之一.16,表示时间,距离,金钱等的复数名词作主语表达一个整体概念时,谓语动词常用单数,但若强调数量,谓语动词可用复数.例如: One million dollars is a lot of money.一百万美元是一大笔钱.以-s结尾的名词作主语的主谓一致问题
英语可数名词的规则复数形式是在词尾加-s或-es，但是有一些以-s结尾的名词并不是可数名词。它们用法多样，造成了实际使用上的困难，以下详述了以-s结尾的名词作主语的主谓一致问题。
There are huge crowds in the streets on Sunday.There are many English-speaking peoples in the world.但应注意,这类集合名词的单数形式有时表示复数概念,所以这些集合名词的单数形式也可归为“单复同形型”中.2)单数型.这类集合名词表示的是人或事物的整体,即把这类人或事物的全部包括在内,所以只有单数形式.如作主语,谓语动词常用单数.这类名词常见的有:humanity, mankind, proletariat等.【例如】The proletariat is the greatest class in the history of mankind.In the fields of production and scientific experiment, mankind makes constant progress.3)复数型.这类集合名词在形式和内容上是相互矛盾的,就是说它们只有单数形式,但表达的都是复数概念.它强调的是集体中的个体性.这类名词有:police, cattle, faculty, flock, machinery, vermin, personnel等.它们作主语时,谓语动词要用复数.【例如】The police have caught the murder.Our personnel are very highly trained.The vermin are very dangerous.4)单复同形型.这类集合名词的单数形式既可表示单数也可表示复数.作主语时,用单数动词或复数动词均可,有时意义区别不大.【例如】The school teaching staff are(is)excellent.The public is(are)requested not to litter in the park.The teaching profession claim(s)to be badly paid.这类集合名词常见的有:class, family, team, crew, board, herd, committee, party, jury, enemy, audience等.根据说话人的心理意向若把这个集合名词所代表的人或事物看作一个整体,就认为是单数,用单数动词;若把它所代表的人或事物看作若干个个体的话,就认为其为复数,用复数动词.试比较: The football team is playing well.那个足球队打得非常漂亮.The football team are shavings bath and are then coming back here for tea.足球队员们正在洗澡,然后来这里吃茶点.The family is a very happy one.那个家庭是一个非常幸福的家庭.That family are very pleased about the news of William's success.全家人对威廉的成功都感到很高兴.主谓一致练习1

第二篇：高中英语主谓一致
高中英语主谓一致
一）主谓一致的种类
1．语法形式上的一致
主语为单数形式，谓语动词用单数形式；主语为复数形式，谓语动词也用复数形式。如： The number of the students present is 200.Jane and Mary look alike.2．意义上一致
1）主语形式虽为单数，但意义为复数，谓语动词用复数。如：The crowd were shouting.单数形式代表复数内容的词有：people, police, cattle等。2）主语形式为复数，而意义上却是单数，谓语动词用单数。如：The news was so surprising.形复意单的单词有news和一些以ics结尾的学科名称，如physics，politics, economics等。
3．就近原则
即谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语。如用连词or，either…or, neither…not, not only…but also等连接的并列主语，如果一个是单数，一个是复数，谓语动词与靠近它的主语一致。如：
Either your students or Mr.Wang knows this.（二）主谓一致的应用 1．名词作主语
1）某些集体名词，如family, team等作主语时，如果作为一个整体看待，谓语动词用单数形式，如果就其中一个个成员而言，谓语动词用复数形式。如：
His family is a happy one.The whole family are watching TV.这类名词有：audience，class，club，company，crew，enemy，crowd，government，group，party，public，team等。
名词population一词的使用情况类似。“a group(crowd)of +复数名词”等短语之后的谓语动词也同样可用单数或复数，前者强调整体，后者强调各个部分。
2）某些集体名词，如people, police, cattle等，只当复数看待，谓语动词必须用复数。如： The police are searching for the thief.3）单、复数同形的名词主语时，谓语动词应根据意义决定单、复数。如： A sheep is over there.Some sheep are over there.4）名词所有格之后的名词被省略，这种情况一般只指商店、工厂、住宅等，作主语时，动词一般用单数。如：
The doctor’s is across the street.My uncle’s is not far from here.常见的省略名词有：the baker’s, the barber’s, the carpenter’s, the Zhang’s等。
表示店铺的名词，一般作集体名词看待，但用作主语时，谓语动词往往用复数。如： Richardson’s have a lot of goods to sell.5）当名词词组中心词为表示度量、距离、金额、时间、书名等复数名词时，往往可以根据意义一致的原则，把这些复数名词看作一个整体，谓语用单数形式。如：
Three years has passed since then.6）不定代词each, every, no所修饰的名词即使以and或逗号连接成多主语时，谓语动词仍用单数形式。如： Each boy and each girl wants to go to the cinema.7）如果主语有more than one…或many a…构成，尽管从意义上看是复数内容，但它的谓语动词仍用单数形式。如：
More than one student has read the book.Many a girl has been there.但是，“more +复数名词+than one”结构之后，谓语动词一般多用复数形式。如： More members than one are against your plan.8）一些有两个部分构成的名词表示衣物或工具作主语时，谓语动词通常用复数形式，例如：glasses, clothes, trousers, shoes, compasses, chopsticks, scissors等。但如果主语用“a kind of, a pair of , a series of等加名词”构成时，谓语动词一般用单数形式。如：
A pair of shoes was on the desk.9）this kind of book =a book of this kind（这种书），其谓语动词用单数；短语this kind of men =men of this kind =these kind of men(口语)（这一类人），但this kind of men的谓语动词用单数，men of this kind和these kind of men的谓语动词用复数，all kinds of后跟复数名词，谓语动词用复数形式。如：
This kind of men is dangerous.Men of this kind are dangerous.10）复数形式的单、复数同形名词作主语时，按意义一致原则，作用单数意义时，谓语用单数，反之，谓语用复数。这类名词有：means（方法），works（工厂），species（种类），Chinese，Japanese等。如：
The(This)glass works was set up in 1980.(这家玻璃厂建于1980年。)The（These）glass works are near the railway station.（这些玻璃厂在火车站附近。）当它们前面有a, such a , this, that修饰时，谓语用单数；有all, such, these, those修饰时，谓语用复数，但means, no means, the means等词前没有以上修饰词时，可用作单数，也可用作复数。
11）如果名词词组中心词是all，most, half, rest等词语，所指的复数意义，谓语动词用复数形式；反之，用单数。如：
All of my classmates like music.All of the water is gone.12)在主谓倒装的句子中，谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如： Between the two windows hangs a picture.2．由连接词连接的名词作主语
1）用and或both…and连接并列主语，谓语动词通常用复数形式。如： Plastics and rubber never rot.Walking and riding are good exercises.但是，并列主语如果指的是同一个人、同一事物或同一概念时，谓语动词用单数形式，这时and后面的名词没有冠词。如：
Truth and honesty is the best policy.The girl’s teacher and friend is a young doctor.To love and to be loved is great happiness.Going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit.A knife and fork is on the table.2）当主语后面跟有as well as, as much as, no less than, along with, with, like, rather than, together with, but, except, besides, including, in addition to等引导的词组时，其谓语动词的单、复数而定。如：
The teacher as well as the students was reading in the library.３）以or, either…or, neither…nor, not only…but also等连接的名词（代词）作主语时，谓语动词的单复数应根据就近一致的原则。如：
Tom or his brothers are waiting in the room.Either you or he is to go.3．代词作主语
1）名词性物主代词作主语时，既可以用作单数，也可以用作复数，这取决于它所代替的是单数还是复数。如：
Ours(Our Party)is a great party.Your shoes are black, and mine(=my shoes)are brown.2）such, the same起指示代词作用时，应根据其所指的内容来决定单、复数。如： Such is our plan.Such are his words.3）关系代词who, that, which等在定语从句中作主语时，其谓语动词的数应与句中先行词的数一致。如：
Those who want to go please put up your hands.Some of the energy that is used by man comes from the sun.4）疑问代词who, what, which作主语时，谓语动词可根据说话人所要表达的意思决定单、复数。如：
Who lives next door ? It is Xiao Liu.Who live next door ? It is Zhang and Liu.What produce(s)heat ?
5）不定代词any, either, neither, none, all some, more等作主语时，有以下两种情况：
单独作主语时，视其在文中的意义，动词用单数或复数形式，例如： Now all has been changed.All are present.either, neither单独作主语时，谓语通常用单数。
但后接of时，若of的宾语为不可数名词，动词当然用单数形式，若of的宾语为复数名词或代词时，动词可以是单数，也可以是复数，在正式文体中，单数形式的动词更常用。如：
Do(es)any of you know his address ? None of them has(have)seen the film.4．分数、量词作主语
1）“分数或百分数+名词”构成的短语以及由“a lot of, lots of plenty of, a large quantity of, a heap of, heaps of, half of +名词”构成的短语作主语时，其谓语动词要与短语中of后面的名词的数保持一致，这是因为短语中后面的名词是中心词，而短语中前面的量词是修饰语，例如：
Lots of damage was caused by fire.About three-fourths of the earth’s surface is covered with water.Three-fifths of the workers here are women.和这种情况类似的还有“a number of+名词复数”，但是，“the number of +名词”的中心词却是number, 试比较：
A number of students have gone home.The number of pages in this book is two hundred.注意：(large)quantities of修饰可数或不可数名词，其短语作主语时，谓语动词一般用复数，例如：
Quantities of food(nuts)were on the table.短语in quantity, in large quantities意为“大量”；in small quantities意为“少量”。2）a great deal of , a large amount of修饰不可数名词，其短语作主语时，谓语动词通常用单数；large amounts of修饰不可数名词，其短语作主语时，谓语动词通常用复数，例如：
A large amount of(A great deal of)damage was done in a very short time.Large amounts of money were spent on the bridge.3）表示数量的one and a half后，名词要用复数形式，但是其短语作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式，例如：
One and a half bananas is left on the table.4）half of,(a)part of修饰可数名词单数及不可数名词时，谓语动词用单数，修饰可数名词复数时，谓语动词用复数。
5．名词化的形容词作主语
如果主语由“the+形容词（或过去分词）”结构担任时，谓语通常用复数，这类词有：the brave, the poor, the rich, the blind, the young, the old, the sick, the dead, the deaf and dumb, the oppressed, the injured, the wounded, the unemployed等；但也有少数的过去分词与定冠词连用时指个别，则用单数。如：
The blind study in special schools.The departed was a well-known engineer.这类形容词或分词如果要表示个体时，就要与名词man, person或表示人的单数连和，如：an old man, a rich person, the(a)wounded soldier 6．从句作主语
1）由what引导的主语从句，谓语动词通常用单数，但所指的具体内容是复数意义时，谓语动词一般用复数形式，例如：
What we need is more time.What we need are doctors.2）在“one of+复数名词++who/that/which”引导的从句结构中，关系代词who/that/which的先行词是靠近它的复数名词而不是one，因此，从句中的动词应该是复数形式。如：
This is one of the most interesting stories that have been told.但是当one之前有the only等修饰语时，关系代词的先行词是one，而不是靠近它的复数名词，因此从句的动词应是单数形式。如：
She was the only one of the girls who was late.
第三篇：高中英语主谓一致
专题十七
主谓一致
考点知识清单
“一致”是指句子之间或词语之间在人称、数、性等方面保持的协调关系。在英语中最主要的一致关系是主语与谓语动词之间数的一致。谓语动词的数必须和主语的人称和数一致，这就叫主谓一致。
在判定一个句子主谓语是否一致时，要遵循下列三个原则：语法一致、意义一致和就近一致。“语法一致”也就是平常说的从语法形式上取得一致，即主语为单数形式，谓语动词也采用单数形式；主语为复数形式，谓语动词亦为复数形式。“意义一致”就是从意义着眼来处理主谓语一致问题。有时，主语形式为单数，但意义为复数，谓语动词依意义而定，也采用复数形式。“就近一致”是指谓语动词的人称和数往往和其最近的主语保持一致。
知识梳理
考点一
单数名词作主语时的主谓一致
单数名词作主语，谓语动词通常用单数形式，但是有些单数名词形式却含有复数意义，这时谓语动词要用复数形式。
1．集合名词与谓语动词的一致
(1)集合名词作主语，如果表示整体概念，谓语动词用单数形式；如表示成员则用复数。常见的这部分名词有：army，audience，class，club，committee，company，crowd，family，group，government，organization，party，personnel，public，staff，team，union，crew等。如：
pl们a的yi足n球g 队w踢e得ll很.好。Our football team is 我n gt hbeant hcso manindg a back he．re for supperOur football team are havrie我们的足球队员们正在洗澡，然后将回到这吃晚饭。
er我y的 l家ar庭g很e大。My family is v．His family are wait．in他g的 f家o人r 在hi等m他。
The personnel are unhappy about these changes．所有职员都对这些变革不满意。
注意
若以上集合名词表示组成该集合体的分散个体时，与其对应的人称代词也应该使用they，them或their。如：
My family did all they could for me．
我的家人为我做了他们所能做的一切。
The audience were waving their hands．
观众都挥舞着他们的手。
(2)但是有些集合名词．如：cattle，folk，people，police，poultry(家禽)等作主语，总是跟复数动词形式。如：
The people hope to live a happy life．人民希望过上好日子。
The police have caught the criminal．警察已经逮捕了那个罪犯。
Cattle feed on grass．牛以草为食。
(3)有些表示某类别的总称的集合名词，如：machinery(机械)，clothing(衣服)，luggage(行李)，furniture(家具)，equipment(设备)，jewelry(珠宝)等作主语时，谓语动词常用单数。如：
My luggage was sent by air．我的行李是航空邮寄的。
The equipment of our factory is all imported from Britain．我们工厂的设备都是从英国进口的。
The furniture in my room is old now．现在我屋里的家具旧了。
2．单复数同形的名词与谓语动词的一致
单复数同形的名词作主语，要根据上下文的意义以及修饰这些词的词来确定其谓语形式。常见的这部分名词有aircraft，crossroads，deer，fish，headquarters。means，series，sheep，species，works等。如：
The crossroads is／are dangerous．这个(些)十字路口很危险。
Every means has been tried．各种方法都试过了。
All possible means have been tried．所有可能的方法都试过了。
A steel works has just been built there．那儿刚建了一座钢厂。
Lots of aircraft were sent there．很多飞机被派往那儿。
注意
fishes表示“各种各样的鱼”。
3．表示成双成套的名词，如：trousers，shoes，glasses，compasses等作主语时，谓语动词用复数。如：
His black trousers are too long．他的黑裤子太长。Your glasses are on your nose．你的眼镜在你鼻梁上。
若这类名词与pair连用时，谓语动词往往与pair一致。如：
This pair of compasses is made in Beijing．这副圆规是北京制造的。
A pair of glasses costs quite a lot now．现在一副眼镜值很多钱。
There are two pairs of gloves on the desk．桌上有两副手套。
考点二
复数名词作主语时的主谓一致
1．以“-s”结尾的书刊名、国名、组织名作主语时的主谓一致
以“-s”结尾的书刊名、国名、组织名、游戏名、运动名(如billiards台球)作主语时，谓语动词通常用单数形式。如：
Roots was a novel about a slave family．《根》是一本有关奴隶家庭的小说。
Arabian Nights is full of interesting stories．《一千零一夜》充满了有趣的故事。
2．表示群岛、瀑布、山脉等以“-s”结尾的专有名词作主语时的主谓一致
表示群岛、瀑布、山脉等以“-s”结尾的专有名词作主语时，谓语动词往往用复数。如：
The Philippines are in the Pacific Ocean．菲律宾群岛位于太平洋。
Rocky Mountains stand in the west of North America．
落基山脉坐落在北美洲西部。
3．以-ics结尾的名词的主谓一致
以-ics结尾的名词指一门学科时，常用单数谓语动词形式。但是，当这些名词表示实际内容时，谓语动词则用复数形式。如：
economics经济学
electronics电子学
physics物理学
politics政治学
mathematics数学
statistics统计学
His politics were a matter of great concern to his friend．
他的政治观点是他的朋友关心的问题。
Politics is his favorite subject．政治学是他最喜欢的学科。
Statistics show that approximately 40 percent of all marriages in the United States end in porce． 统计数字表明，大约百分之四十的美国人的婚姻以离婚而告终。
Statistics is a subject that is difficult to learn．统计学是一门很难学的课程。
注意
①plastics(塑料)作主语时，其谓语动词大都采用复数形式。如：
Plastics have taken the place of many materials now．

[答案] D
[例2] In my opinion，What Zhai Zhigang，Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng _______ _good to our country’s international position．
A．did do does
B．did does do
C．does did do
D．do do did
[解析] 句子的主语是what引导的主语从句，即：what Zhai Zhigang，Liu Boming and Jing Haipeng did。谓语动词用单数，借助于助动词does强调谓语，后用动词原形do。
[答案] B
[例3] Next to me sat an old lady and a country girl who _______ __looking at the foreigners in the air．
A．are
B．is
C．were D．was
[解析] 本句是倒装句，an old lady and a country girl是主句的主语，也是who引导的定语从句的先行词。定语从句的谓语应与先行词保持一致。
[答案] C
方法二
分清并列连词
1．两个单数名词(主语)用and或both...and...连接时，谓语用复数，但要注意前后两个名词都带有冠词。
2.并列主语由or，either...or...，neither...nor...，not only...but(also)...，not...but...等连接时，谓语动词常与邻近的主语保持人称和数的一致。
[例1] Not only Tom but also Peter and Mary _______ __planning to go．
A．is
B．was

A．have
B．has
C．had
D.are
[解析] The writer and the educator是两个人，谓语动词用复数。句意：那位作家和那位教育家参观了我们的学校。如果换成The writer and educator，就是一个人了，即“那位作家兼教育家”，谓语动词用单数。
[答案] A

记熟一些习惯用法
1．“many a以及more than one+单数名词”作主语．谓语用单数。

[例1]
_______ _of the land in that district _______ __covered with trees and grass．
A．Two fifth；is
B．Two fifth；are
C．Two fifths；is
D．Two fifths；are
[解析] 首先“五分之二”应为two fifths，故答案应为C、D中的一个；当“分数+of+名词”作主语时，谓语动词的数要与of后的名词保持数的一致，这里的名词是the land。
[答案] C
[例2] The number of the students of this school _______ __large．
A．are
B．are not
C．isn’t
D．aren’t
[解析] 在“the number of+复数名词”的结构中，“of+复数名词”的介词短语作后置定语，the number是中心名词，所以谓语动词应用单数形式。
[答案] C
[例3] Every boy and every girl as well as some teachers who _______ __to visit the museum _______ _asked to be at the school gate before 6：30 in the morning．
A．are；are
B．is；is
C．are；is
D．is；are
[解析] 本题是一个带有定语从句的复合句，定语从句修饰的是teachers，关系词在从句中作主语，应与先行词的数保持一致，故从句谓语用复数。句子主语是Every boy and every girl，当主语后面跟有with，together with，as well as等连接的词时，其谓语动词的单复数不受这些词语的影响。every...and every...作主语，谓语用单数。
[答案] C
第四篇：高中英语主谓一致讲解及练习
高中英语主谓一致
一）主谓一致的种类
1．语法形式上的一致
1)主语为单数形式（一个单数名词，一个ving（短语），一个to do（短语）或一个从句），谓语动词用单数形式；主语为复数形式（复数名词，两个或两个以上的ving（短语）、to do（短语）或从句），谓语动词也用复数形式。如： The number of the students present is 200.Jane and Mary look alike.Giving Plastics and rubber never rot.Walking and riding are good exercises.2）当主语后面跟有as well as, as much as, no less than, along with, with, like, rather than, together with, but, except, besides, including, in addition to等引导的词组时，其谓语动词的单、复数视主语而定。如： The teacher as well as the students was reading in the library.3）不定代词作主语，主语是one，another，the other，either，somebody，anybody，everybody，nobody，someone，anyone，everyone, no one，something，anything，everything，nothing等，谓语用单数。Nobody knows exactly how many species of plants and animals are on Earth.Everyone was calm.4）复数形式的名词作主语。主语是glasses, shorts, shoes, scissors, gloves, trousers等复数名词，谓语用复数。但其前有“pair/ kind/ type of ”时，谓语动词的数一般与pair，kind, type等的一致。The trousers are all right.Now please try on the shirt.A pair of Funky Swanky jeans costs 80yuan ,available in all Funky Swanky shops now.2．意义上一致
1）主语形式虽为单数，但意义为复数，谓语动词用复数。如：The crowd were shouting.单数形式代表复数内容的词有：people, police, cattle等。People often use body language on purpose.The police are searching for the thief.2)某些集体名词，如family, audience，class，club，company，enemy，crowd，government，group，party，public，team等作主语时，如果作为一个整体看待，谓语动词用单数形式，如果就其中一个个成员而言，谓语动词用复数形式。如：
His family is a happy one.The whole family are watching TV.3）不定代词any, either, neither, none, all some, more, the rest, half等作主语时，有以下两种情况：
单独作主语时，视其在文中的意义，动词用单数(指代不可数名词)或复数（指代复数名词）形式，例如： Now all has been changed.All are present.either, neither单独作主语时，谓语通常用单数。
但后接of时，若of的宾语为不可数名词，动词当然用单数形式，若of的宾语为复数名词或代词时，动词可以是单数，也可以是复数，在正式文体中，单数形式的动词更常用。如： Do(es)any of you know his address ? None of them has(have)seen the film.4）复数形式的单、复数同形名词作主语时，按意义一致原则，作用单数意义时，谓语用单数，反之，谓语用复数。这类名词有：means（方法），works（工厂），species（种类），Chinese，Japanese等。单、复数同形的名词deer，sheep做主语时，谓语动词应根据意义决定单、复数。如： A sheep is over there.Some sheep are over there.如： The(This)glass works was set up in 1980.(这家玻璃厂建于1980年。)The（These）glass works are near the railway station.（这些玻璃厂在火车站附近。）
5）主语形式为复数，而意义上却是单数，谓语动词用单数，形复意单的单词有news和一些以ics结尾的学科名称，如physics，politics, economics等。如：The news was so surprising.6）当名词词组中心词为表示度量、距离、金额、时间、书名等复数名词时，往往可以根据意义一致的原则，把这些复数名词看作一个整体，谓语用单数形式。如： Three years has passed since then.Ten pounds is enough.7）“名词+and+名词”做主语，并列主语如果指的是同一个人、同一事物或同一概念时，谓语动词用单数形式，这时and后面的名词前没有冠词。如： The girl’s teacher and friend is a young doctor.To love and to be loved is great happiness.Going to bed early and getting up early is a good habit.A knife and fork is on the table.8）“分数/百分数+of+名词”作主语，要根据of后的名词确定谓语动词的单复数。名词为不可数名词或单数可数名词时，谓语用单数；名词为复数时，谓语用复数。
80% of e-mails on the Internet are in English.Two thirds of the apple is rotten.Two thirds of the apples are rotten.9)名词化的形容词作主语
如果主语由“the+形容词（或过去分词）”结构担任时，谓语通常用复数，这类词有：the brave, the poor, the rich, the blind, the young, the old, the sick, the dead, the deaf and dumb, the oppressed, the injured, the wounded, the unemployed等；但也有少数的过去分词与定冠词连用时指个别，则用单数。如：
The blind study in special schools.The departed was a well-known engineer.这类形容词或分词如果要表示个体时，就要与名词man, person或表示人的单数连和，如：an old man, a rich person, the(a)wounded soldier 10)不定代词“each,/every+单数名词+and+单数名词”或“each,/every+单数名词+and+ each,/every+单数名词”作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。如：
Each boy and each girl wants to go to the cinema.In other words, every action and movement in Beijing Opera is important.11)从句作主语
由what引导的主语从句，谓语动词通常用单数，但由what引导的主语从句所指的具体内容是复数意义时，谓语动词一般用复数形式，例如： What we need is more time What we need are doctors.12)“a number of+名词复数”，谓语用复数，“the number of +复数名词”谓语用单数。
13）“a quantity of +不可数名词/可数名词”作主语，谓语动词的数取决于名词是否可数。“quantities of +不可数名词/ 可数名词” 作主语，谓语用复数。A large quantity of beer was drunk.A large quantity of nuts are on the table.(large)Quantities of nuts are on the table.3．就近原则,即谓语动词的单、复数形式取决于最靠近它的词语。
1)用连词or, either…or, neither…nor, not only…but also等连接的名词（代词）作主语时，谓语动词的单复数应根据就近一致的原则。如： Tom or his brothers are waiting in the room.Either you or he is to go.Either your students or Mr.Wang knows this.2)如果主语由more than one…或many a…构成，尽管从意义上看是复数内容，但它的谓语动词仍用单数形式。如： More than one student has read the book.Many a girl has been there.但是，“more +复数名词+than one”结构之后，谓语动词一般多用复数形式。如： More members than one are against your plan.3）在主谓倒装的句子中，谓语动词的数应与其后的主语一致。如： Between the two windows hangs a picture.There is a station and a free car park
