(1)句①中group强调成员,故其后谓语动词用复数形式;句③中的family和句④中的group强调整体,故其后谓语动词用单数形式。
(2)句②中的主语为动名词短语,故其谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。
(3)表示时间、距离、金额、度量衡等名词作主语时,常表示一个整体概念,谓语动词用单数形式,如句⑤。
谓语动词与主语必须在人称和数上保持一致,这叫主谓一致。主谓一致的应用主要有以下几种情况:
一、名词作主语
主语 可数名词单数或不可数名词 可数名词复数 只表示复数意义的集体名词people, police, cattle等 谓语动词 单数 复数 复数 family, class, group, team类集体名词 强调整体 强调成员 单数 复数 单数 根据其表达的单复数意义而定 只作不可数名词用的集体名词clothing, equipment, furniture, jewellery等 单复数同形的名词means, sheep, works, deer, fish等 The public was kept in the dark about the matter. 关于这件事情公众被蒙在鼓里。
The public now come to know the whole story. 人们现在越来越清楚那是怎么回事了。 The football team is being rebuilt. (他们)正在重建这个足球队。
The football team are having baths and then they are coming here for tea. 足球队员们正在洗澡,然后他们会到这里喝茶。

主语 表示单位数量,指时间、金钱、距离、长度、重量等的复数名词短语 the rest/part (of)及分数、百分数等 a number of+可数名词复数 the number of+可数名词复数 a quantity of/quantities of more than one/many a+可数名词单数 谓语动词 单数 根据所指代或修饰的名词而定 复数 单数 根据quantity的形式而定 单数 one of+可数名词复数 About 50 percent of the students in our school are girls. 我们学校大约百分之五十的学生是女生。 Great quantities of fish are caught in the deep sea. 在深海处抓了很多鱼。 There is a large quantity of milk. 有大量的牛奶。
单数 [名师点津] (1)“more+复数名词+than one”作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。 More children than one are playing in the shade of the tree. 不止一个孩子在树荫下玩。
(2)在“one of+复数名词/代词+定语从句”结构中,定语从句中的谓语动词用复数形式。只有one之前出现the only, the very等修饰语时,定语从句的谓语动词才用单数形式。试比较:
