英語基礎知識中動詞後面複數和單數用法

要想學好英語，首先要打好基礎。在學習英語的過程中積累單詞和掌握語法很重要，基本上每個完整的句子都有一個動詞，主語的數量決定了動詞的數量，下面小編給大家分享的是關於動詞的用法。

1. 主語與動詞之間的插入語並不影響動詞的數量。

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

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

2. 一個常犯的錯誤：用one of .. 開頭的關係從句。

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

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

3. each, either, everyone, everybody, neither, nobody, someone之後的動詞用單數形式。

Everybody thinks he has a unique sense of humor.

Although both clocks strike cheerfully, neither keeps good time.

4. NONE是一個特殊的單詞。當它的意思是no one 或者not one的時候，其後的動詞用單數。

None of us is perfect.

當它的意思代表兩個或者多個時，其後動詞用複數。

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

5. 用and將兩個或多個名詞連接組成的主語，大多數都要用複數。

另外的情況是當兩個名詞組成的是一個整體時，要用單數。或者由each/every限定時。

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. 單數主語的動詞依然是單數，即使將其它名詞用with, as well as , in addition to, except, together with, no less than 連接。

His speech as well as his manner is objectionable.

7.注意一些形式上是複數，但本質上仍然是單數的名詞。如politics, the Republican Headquarters.除了軍隊：

The general's quarters are cross the river.

8. 記住一些成語或習語，因爲裏面有很多特殊性。

9. 動詞的單複數形式，有時候要根據情況來判斷。 比如你需要根據一個容器裏的實際內容來判斷是用單數還是複數：一盒果醬用單數;一盒彈珠用複數。

the group 作主語謂語動詞用單數還是用複數的問題：

(1)group 用作集合名詞，作“(小)組，羣體，集團”解時，其謂語可以是單數，也可以是複數。例如：The research group is ready to start its work. 這個研究小組已準備好隨時開始工作。/ The group are divided in their opinions of the matter. 小組成員在對問題的看法上意見不一致。
