要想学好英语,首先要打好基础。在学习英语的过程中积累单词和掌握语法很重要,基本上每个完整的句子都有一个动词,主语的数量决定了动词的数量,下面沪江小编给大家分享的是关于动词的用法。

  1. 主语与动词之间的插入语并不影响动词的数量。

  The bittersweet flavor of youth---its trials, its joys, its adventures, its challenges---are not soon forgotten.(错)

  The bittersweet flavor of youth---its trials, its joys, its adventures, its challenges---is not soon forgotten.(对)

  2. 一个常犯的错误:用one of .. 开头的关系从句。

  比如 One of the ablest scientists who has attacked this problem. (错)

  One of the ablest scientists who have attacked this problem.(对)

  3. each, either, everyone, everybody, neither, nobody, someone之后的动词用单数形式。

  Everybody thinks he has a unique sense of humor.

  Although both clocks strike cheerfully, neither keeps good time.

  4. NONE是一个特殊的单词。当它的意思是no one 或者not one的时候,其后的动词用单数。

  None of us is perfect.

  当它的意思代表两个或者多个时,其后动词用复数。

  None are so fallible as those who are sure they're right.

  5. 用and将两个或多个名词连接组成的主语,大多数都要用复数。

  另外的情况是当两个名词组成的是一个整体时,要用单数。或者由each/every限定时。

  如: Bread and butter was all she served.

  Give and take is essential to a happy household.

  Every window, picture, and mirror was smashed.

  6. 单数主语的动词依然是单数,即使将其它名词用with, as well as , in addition to, except, together with, no less than 连接。

  His speech as well as his manner is objectionable.

  7.注意一些形式上是复数,但本质上仍然是单数的名词。如politics, the Republican Headquarters.除了军队:

  The general's quarters are cross the river.

  8. 记住一些成语或习语,因为里面有很多特殊性。

  9. 动词的单复数形式,有时候要根据情况来判断。 比如你需要根据一个容器里的实际内容来判断是用单数还是复数:一盒果酱用单数;一盒弹珠用复数。

  the group 作主语谓语动词用单数还是用复数的问题:

  (1)group 用作集合名词,作“(小)组,群体,集团”解时,其谓语可以是单数,也可以是复数。例如:The research group is ready to start its work. 这个研究小组已准备好随时开始工作。/ The group are divided in their opinions of the matter. 小组成员在对问题的看法上意见不一致。
