如果主语由",more than one+单数名词"构成,尽管从意义上看是复数,但谓语动词仍用单数形式。
例如:
Many a student has made that mistake.
许多学生都犯那种错误。
There is more than one answer to your question.
你的这个问题不止有一个答案。
More than one person has protested against the proposal.
不止一个人反对这个建议。
但"more than+数词+复数名词"结构作主语时,谓语动词用复数形式。
例如:
More than one thousand men and women are working in this factory.
有1000多男女工人在这家工厂做工。
拓展资料:
主谓一致即谓语动词在人称和数上要和主语保持一致,主谓一致包括语法一致、意义一致和就近一致,语法一致即谓语动词在单复数形式上要和主语保持一致,意义一致就是谓语动词要和主语意义上的单复数保持一致,就近一致就是谓语动词要和靠近它的主语部分保持一致。
