為了幫助考生們更好地備考SAT語法考試，上海新航道考試頻道小編給大家帶來SAT語法中主謂一致的三大原則，希望同學們看過之后對自己的備考有所幫助!
  一、主謂一致指“人稱”和“數”方面的一致關系
  對大多數人來說，往往會在掌握主語和隨后的謂語動詞之間的一致問題上遇到困難。一般情況下，主謂之間的一致關系由以下三個原則支配：
  語法一致原則 (grammatical concord)
  意義一致原則 (notional concord)
  就近一致原則 (principle of proximity)
  (一)語法一致原則
  用作主語的名詞詞組中心詞和謂語動詞在單、復數形式上的一致，就是語法一致。也就是說，如果名詞中心詞是單數，動詞用單數形式;如果名詞中心詞是復數，動詞用復數形式。例如：
  This table is a genuine antique.
  Both parties have their own advantages.
  Her job has something to do with computers.
  She wants to go home.
  They are divorcing each other.
  Mary was watching herself in the mirror.
  The bird built a nest.
  Susan comes home every week-end.
  (二)意義一致原則
  有時，主語和謂語動詞的一致關系取決于主語的單、復數意義，而不是語法上的單、復數形式，這樣的一致關系就是意義一致。例如：
  Democratic government gradually take the place of an all-powerful monarchy.
  A barracks was attacked by the guerrilla.
  Mumps is a kind of infectious disease.
  The United States is a developed country.
  It is the remains of a ruined palace.
  The archives was lost.
  This pair of trousers costs fifty dollars.
  (三)就近原則
  有時，謂語動詞的單、復數形式決定于最靠近它的詞語。 例如：
  Either my grandsons or their father is coming.
  No one except his daughters agree with him.
  Mary and her sisters are baking a cake.
  Neither Richard nor I am going.
  二、以集合名詞做主語的主謂一致問題
  有些集合名詞，committee,council,crew,crowd,family,gang,government,group,mob,staff,team, union等，在意義上是復數，但在語法形式上是單數，這類名詞作主語的主謂一致問題往往遵循“語法一致”或“意義一致”原則。例如：
  The committee has/have decided to dismiss him.
  A council of elders governs the tribe.
  The present government is trying to control inflation.
  The school staff are expected to supervise school meals.
  (一)通常作復數的集體名詞
  包括police,people, cattle, militia, vermin等，這些集體名詞通常用作復數。 例如：
  The British police have only very limited powers.
  The militia were called out to guard the borderland.
  It seems the cattle on the sides of the dikes were the only living creatures in these desolate surroundings.
  (二)通常作不可數名詞的集體名詞
  通常作不可數名詞的集體名詞，包括poultry,foliage，machinery, equipment,furniture, merchandise等,這類名詞后的動詞用單數形式。 例如：
  Poultry is expensive at this time of year. That green foliage was restful.
  The merchandise has arrived undamaged.
  All the machinery in the factory is made in China.
  The suite of furniture he bought was of contemporary style.
  The equipment of the photographic studio was expensive.
  (三)可作單數也可作復數的集體名詞
  可作單數也可作復數的集體名詞,包括audience, committee, crew, family, government,jury等。 例如：
  The audience was/were enthusiastic on the opening night of the play.
  The committee has/have decided to dismiss him.
  The jury is/are about to announce the winners.
  The government has/have discussed the matter for a long time.
