more than one作主語謂語動詞用單數還是復數
請看兩個句子: More than one boy __________ read the story. More boys than one __________ read the story. A. have,have B. has,has C. have,has D. has,have 此題應選D。該題很容易誤選A,認為既然more than one意為“不只一個”(=多個),那么其謂語就應該用復數。 其實more than one 用作主語時,謂語通常要用單數(要從形式一致來考慮)。more than one用作主語時,要注意以下兩個結構: ◎“more than one+單數名詞”用作主語,其謂語通常用單數(即從形式考慮) ◎“more+復數名詞+than one”用作主語,其謂語通常要用復數 也就是說,以上結構中名詞的數決定其后動詞的數。 不只一個學生受到懲罰。 正:More than one student was punished. 正:More students than one were punished. 類似以上用法的還有: ◎many a+單數名詞(意為:許多),用作主語,謂語用單數(即從形式一致考慮) ◎many+復數名詞(意為:許多),用作主語,謂語要用復數 也就是說,以上結構中名詞的數決定其后動詞的數。 很多小孩在那兒玩。 正:Many a child was playing there. 正:Many children were playing there.
