四、名词在句子中的作用

名词在句子中可以作主语、宾语、宾语补足语、表语、定语，有时可以作状语。

名词、代词或其他结构作主语时，谓语动词在人称和数上必须与主语保持一致。

1、主语是可数名词单数时，谓语动词用单数形式;主语是复数时，谓语动词用复数形式。

All roads lead to Rome.(条条大路通罗马。)

The number of the students attending the party is increasing.

★the number of 表示数量，无论后面名词是复数还是单数，谓语动词是单数形式。

Two-thirds of the shop belongs to me.

★two-thirds 三分之二

几分之几作主语，谓语是单数形式。

belong to 属于某人

Both of us are studying English.

★总结：在名词作主语时，the number of 谓语动词单数形式;

几分之几，谓语单数形式;

both 谓语使用复数形式。

2、主语是不可数名词、不定式或动名词词组、从句时，谓语动词用单数形式。

3、主语部分若有as well as，with，together with，like，but，except等短语，谓语动词的单、复数与短语前面的名词一致。

Mary，as well as her two sisters，is a student of this school.

(as well as her two sisters 作主语Mary的主语补足语，主语 Mary 是单数，所以谓语动词用复数形式)

No one except my friends knows anything about it.

4、表示时间、距离、重量、价值等的复数名词作主语时，如果当作整体看待，谓语动词用单数形式。

“…+(×)…=…”算式中的谓语动词也用单数形式。

Three kilometers is 3，ooo metres.(three kilometers作为整体来看)

5、Either，neither作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。

none代表可数的人或东西时，谓语动词可以用单数也可以用复数，代表不可数的东西时，谓语动词用单数形式。

6、主语由either…or，neither…nor，not only…but also连接时，谓语形式由最邻近的主语决定。

Not only you but also I am wrong.

Either you or she is to do the work.

7、主语中有and，如果表示单一概念，谓语动词用单数。

8、主语前有many a，more than one修饰时，谓语动词用单数形式。

Many a book has been read by the students.

★many a book=many books

9、集合名词作主语，当作整体看待时，谓语动词用单数形式，当作每个独立的个体看待时，谓语动词用复数。

1、可数名词与不可数名词里，哪几个词是不可数名词。

2、可数名词复数形式重点掌握不规则形式，单、复数相同的名词。

3、名词所有格重点掌握时间名词所有格在其后加s，复数不加。

4、名词在句中的作用，重点掌握刚才的9点。
