備考英語四六級首先要端正自己的學(xué)習(xí)態(tài)度,養(yǎng)成良好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣,要學(xué)會歸納重點。下面是小編給大家整理的英語四級改錯題常考要點,大家可以作為學(xué)習(xí)的參考。

謂語動詞

(一) 謂語動詞的主謂一致

①、主謂分割原則

例1:To the citizens of the United States, the bald eagle, America's national bird, symbolize strength and freedom.

分析:symbolize應(yīng)改為symbolizes。主語謂語用逗號分割開,主語the bald eagle為單數(shù),謂語動詞也應(yīng)該用單數(shù)形式。

②、與后者一致原則

not…but, 強調(diào)but后面的名詞,

not only…but also

③、與前者一致原則

名詞+with/together with/as well as/including+復(fù)數(shù)名詞,謂語用is,

中心詞在前面,謂語動詞應(yīng)該與前面的名詞保持一致

例:The athlete, together with his coach and several relatives, are traveling to the Olympic Games.

分析:謂語動詞應(yīng)該與the athlete 保持一致,所以are改為is

④、就近原則

or, either…or, neither…nor,

單數(shù)名詞+or+復(fù)數(shù)名詞+are

如果把句子變?yōu)橐话阋蓡柧?,也就是把be動詞提到前面,那么變?yōu)閕s

所以注意一點: 如果是陳述句,靠后面近,用復(fù)數(shù)

如果是疑問句,靠前面近,用單數(shù)

例:The structure or behavior of many protozoans are amazingly complex for single-celled animals.

分析:or應(yīng)改為and。從謂語動詞是復(fù)數(shù)形式判斷,主語應(yīng)該為復(fù)數(shù),or連接兩個名詞時動詞和后面的名詞保持一致,behavior是用單數(shù)形式,因此只有改為并列連詞and才能使主謂在數(shù)上保持一致。

⑤定語從句主語就近原則

There are five apples that are red.

apples是復(fù)數(shù),因此從句謂語動詞是復(fù)數(shù)。

例:A rocket burns propellant rapidly and most rockets carry a supply that last just a few seconds.

分析:last應(yīng)改為lasts。從句的邏輯主語a supply為單數(shù),其謂語動詞應(yīng)為單數(shù)形式。

⑥the +形容詞主謂一致

The rich are not always happier than the poor.

The rich 表示一類人,應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)

⑦、倒裝句的主謂一致

改錯題倒裝句的主謂一致一般考兩種情況:

a. there be 句型

there be+名詞+名詞,那么最近的名詞決定其形式

b. between/ among 放在句首+be+名詞,名詞其實是主語,所以be和名詞保持一致

例:There are no known society in which left-handed people predominate.

分析:there be 句型由最近的名詞決定其形式,society當(dāng)然用單數(shù),所以there are 改為there is

例:Between the foothills of the Andes and the Pacific Ocean are a dry coastal strip averaging about 30 miles in width.

分析:倒裝句,are改為is

例:Among the favorite attractions at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C. are the film presented on the five-story-tall screen.

分析:film應(yīng)改為films , 主語實際上是名詞,應(yīng)該與謂語動詞保持一致。

⑧、百分比結(jié)構(gòu)的主謂一致

fifty percent of + 名詞

one percent of + 名詞

謂語動詞的形式和百分比多少沒有關(guān)系,主要取決于后面的名詞,比如:

one percent of my students + are

fifty percent of my time is spent on working.

這里要強調(diào)兩個結(jié)構(gòu)

half of =fifty percent

most of + 可數(shù)名詞 + are

most of + 不可數(shù)名詞+ is

例:Nearly half of the ancient meteor craters has been found in central and eastern Canada.

分析:has been應(yīng)改為have been。介詞of的賓語為復(fù)數(shù)名詞短語,作主語的中心詞half當(dāng)然表復(fù)數(shù),相應(yīng)的謂語動詞應(yīng)為復(fù)數(shù)形式。

例:Approximately fifty percent of the package utilized in the United States are for foods and beverages.

分析:package應(yīng)改為packages。從謂語動詞用復(fù)數(shù)形式判斷出主語是復(fù)數(shù)名詞。注意food用復(fù)數(shù)表示不同種類的食品,beverage用復(fù)數(shù)表示不同種類的飲料。
