语法讲解
今天的早读,包含了两个主语从句。在第一个who引导的主语从句中,who在从句中做were后面的表语。在第二个what引导的主语从句中,what做do后面的宾语。我们知道,在名词性从句中,缺主语,宾语,表语的情况下,指代人,我们通常用who,其他用what.在这里,大家注意到谓语动词是单数is。首先,从句做主语的主谓一致问题通常两种情况:第一,what引导的主语从句做主语时,谓语的数由后面的表语或者宾语来决定。例如:What he gave me are five English books.第二,其他词引导的主语从句,谓语动词用单数。在这句话中,两个名词性从句中没有and连接,他们应该是在共用谓语,所有谓语动词用了is.
注意:
1.当同一个主语从句是由两个不同的引导词引导时,如果它表达的还是同一件事,谓语动词一般用单数。eg:When and where we should hold the meeting has not been decided yet
2.当主语是由两个由and连接的主语从句组成,表示的是两件不同的事情,主句谓语动词需用复数形式.
eg. What caused the accident and who was responsible for it remain a mystery to us.
