威威老師的文法特快車:主詞動詞一致 (Subject-Verb Agreement)
課程導航
哈囉各位同學!我是威威老師。
來,挑一個答案:
“The number of students ___ increasing every year.” (A) is (B) are
如果你選 (B),你被陷阱抓到了——而且你不孤單,這題大約 70% 的台灣學生會錯。
主詞動詞一致 (Subject-Verb Agreement) 是中文母語者的「死穴」——因為中文的動詞從來不會根據主詞變化。我們說「我是」「他是」「他們是」用的都是同一個「是」,但英文 “I am / He is / They are” 三種變化,動詞要跟主詞一致。
這個觀念聽起來簡單,但英文出題者超會挖陷阱:藏單複數信號、用介系詞片語干擾、用看起來複數其實單數的詞…——今天威威老師帶你把學測最愛考的 8 個陷阱拆光。
繫好安全帶 🚂
課前快問 (Pre-Quiz) — 複習 06 形容詞與副詞
- She looked ____ at the broken vase.(sad / sadly)
- The students were ____ because the lecture was ____.(bored/boring)
- He is old ____ to travel alone.(enough 的位置)
解答
- sadly — looked 是動作(看),用副詞修飾。
- bored / boring — 學生感到無聊(人)/演講令人無聊(事物)。
- enough — old enough to V(形容詞 + enough + to V)。
一、什麼是「主詞動詞一致」?
想像英文句子是一對舞伴——主詞和動詞必須「配合彼此的步伐」,跳不同舞步整支舞就垮了。
主詞動詞一致 (Subject-Verb Agreement) = 動詞要跟著主詞變化:
- 單數主詞 → 單數動詞
- 複數主詞 → 複數動詞
這是中文裡完全沒有的概念!中文不管主詞是什麼,動詞都不會變:
| 中文(不變) | 英文(要變!) |
|---|---|
| 我是學生 | I am a student. |
| 他是學生 | He is a student. |
| 他們是學生 | They are students. |
| 我有書 | I have books. |
| 他有書 | He has books. |
二、基本規則 — 主詞 × 動詞對照
2-1 終極對照表
| 主詞 | be 動詞 | have | 一般動詞 (play) |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | am | have | play |
| You | are | have | play |
| He / She / It | is | has | plays |
| We / They | are | have | play |
| 單數名詞 (the cat) | is | has | plays(V-s/es) |
| 複數名詞 (the cats) | are | have | play(原形) |
2-2 「特權階級」:第三人稱單數
💡 威威記法:第三人稱單數是「特權階級」——它的動詞要多穿一件 -s 外套!
| 一般動詞 | |
|---|---|
| I/You/We/They + work | 原形 |
| He/She/It + works | 三單加 -s |
| The cat sleeps | 三單加 -s |
🚨 關鍵:只有現在簡單式的「第三人稱單數」需要加 -s/es! 過去式、未來式、進行式都不適用這個規則。
2-3 三個不可不知的特殊主詞
| 主詞 | be | have | 說明 |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | am | have | 雖單數,但用 am(不用 is)+ have(不用 has) |
| you | are | have | 不管單複數,都用 are + have |
| it | is | has | 完全按單數規則 |
三、容易出錯的 8 大陷阱主詞
考試最愛用「看起來不像主詞」或「單複數判斷不直覺」的東西來考你!以下 8 大陷阱幾乎每年都考:
3-1 集合名詞:family, team, class, audience…
| 情境 | 視為 | 動詞 |
|---|---|---|
| 「一個整體」 | 單數 | My family is large.(家庭很大) |
| 「個別成員」 | 複數 | My family are all doctors.(家人個個是醫生) |
💎 美式英文偏向視為單數——這是考試比較安全的選擇。
- The team has won the game.(美式,當整體看)
- The team have different opinions.(英式或強調個別意見時)
3-2 each / every / either / neither / one + 永遠單數!
| 主詞 | 動詞 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| Each student | has | Each student has a book. |
| Every boy and girl | is | Every boy and girl is ready. |
| Either answer | is | Either answer is correct. |
| Neither option | works | Neither option works. |
| One of the students | is | One of the students is late. |
🚨 超經典陷阱:every + A and B = 單數!
- ✅ Every boy and girl is ready.(雖然 boy and girl 看起來像兩個,但 every 視為單數!)
3-3 不定代名詞 -one / -body / -thing → 永遠單數!
| 不定代名詞 | 動詞 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| everyone / everybody | is | Everyone is here. |
| someone / somebody | is | Someone is waiting for you. |
| anyone / anybody | is | Is anyone coming? |
| no one / nobody | knows | Nobody knows the truth. |
| everything | is | Everything is fine. |
| something | is | Something is wrong. |
| nothing | is | Nothing is impossible. |
🚨 黃金鐵律:以 -one, -body, -thing 結尾的不定代名詞 → 永遠單數動詞! ❌ Everyone
arehappy. ✅ Everyone is happy.
3-4 the number of vs. a number of — 學測必考!
這是全章最大魔王——出題者超愛考!
| 片語 | 意思 | 動詞 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|---|
| the number of + 複數N | …的數量 | 單數 | The number of students is 30.(學生的數量是 30) |
| a number of + 複數N | 許多… | 複數 | A number of students are absent.(許多學生缺席) |
💡 威威記法:
- the number = 一個數字 → 單數 → is
- a number of = many = 許多 → 複數 → are
邏輯:
- the number of X is Y → 「X 的數量是 Y」(重點在數量這個數字)。
- a number of X are Y → 「許多 X 是 Y」(重點在 X 本身,是複數)。
3-5 距離 / 時間 / 金額 / 數學運算 → 單數!
| 類型 | 例句 | 說明 |
|---|---|---|
| 距離 | Ten miles is a long way. | 10 英里被當成「一段距離」整體 |
| 時間 | Three hours is enough. | 3 小時被當成「一段時間」整體 |
| 金額 | Five dollars is cheap. | 5 元被當成「一筆錢」整體 |
| 數學 | Two plus two is four. | 算式整體當單數 |
💎 為什麼用單數?因為英文把這些「數量」當成一個整體概念來看,而不是個別的小單位。
3-6 看起來複數 + 但其實單數
| 字 | 動詞 | 例句 | 原因 |
|---|---|---|---|
| news | is | The news is good. | 不可數名詞 |
| mathematics | is | Mathematics is interesting. | 學科名 |
| physics | is | Physics is difficult. | 學科名 |
| economics | is | Economics is my major. | 學科名 |
| politics | is | Politics is complicated. | 學科名 |
| the United States | is | The U.S. is a big country. | 國名(雖有 s) |
| the Philippines | is | The Philippines is in Asia. | 國名 |
| billiards | is | Billiards is fun. | 運動名 |
🚨 這些字有 s 結尾,但不是複數! 動詞用單數!
3-7 there is / there are 的「就近原則」
| 句型 | 用法 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| There is + 單數N | 「有」一個東西 | There is a book on the desk. |
| There are + 複數N | 「有」多個東西 | There are books on the desk. |
就近原則:當 there 後面有多個名詞,動詞跟最近的那個名詞一致!
| 句子 | 動詞跟誰? | 正確 |
|---|---|---|
| There ___ a pen and two books. | 跟 a pen(最近,單) | There is a pen and two books. |
| There ___ two books and a pen. | 跟 two books(最近,複) | There are two books and a pen. |
💎 跟 either…or / neither…nor 的就近原則一樣(05 連接詞 詳解)!
3-8 either…or / neither…nor + 主詞動詞一致
動詞跟最靠近的主詞一致:
| 句子 | 動詞 |
|---|---|
| Neither he nor I am wrong. | 跟 I → am |
| Neither I nor he is wrong. | 跟 he → is |
| Either you or she has to go. | 跟 she → has |

1. Choose: Each of the boys ______ a different opinion. (A) have (B) has (C) are having (D) were having
2. Choose: The number of tourists ______ growing every year. (A) are (B) is (C) were (D) have
3. Choose: Everyone in my class ______ excited about the trip. (A) are (B) is (C) were (D) have

5. Translate: 「我們之中沒有人知道答案。」(Use Nobody / None of us)
寫好答案再往下看 👇
解答與詳解
第 1 題:(B) has
✅ Each of the boys has a different opinion. 解析:each 視為單數,動詞 has。 💎 「Each of + 複數名詞 + 單數動詞」是經典考題!主詞是 each,不是 boys。
第 2 題:(B) is
✅ The number of tourists is growing. 解析:the number of + 複數N → 單數動詞!主詞是 the number(單數)。
第 3 題:(B) is
✅ Everyone in my class is excited. 解析:everyone 視為單數。“in my class” 是介系詞片語,不影響主詞。
第 4 題:(B) is
✅ Mathematics is my favorite subject. 解析:mathematics 雖然有 s,但是學科名 → 單數!
第 5 題:Nobody knows the answer. / None of us knows the answer.
✅ 兩種寫法都對:
- Nobody knows the answer.(nobody 視為單數)
- None of us knows the answer.(none of 在現代英文中常視為單數) 💎 注意:none 可以單數也可以複數,但現代美式英文偏向單數(特別是強調「沒有任何一個」時)。
四、介系詞片語不影響主詞!
🚨 這是考試超愛挖的陷阱——在主詞和動詞之間插入一段介系詞片語,看你會不會被混淆!
4-1 黃金鐵律
主詞和動詞之間的介系詞片語不是主詞的一部分!動詞只跟「真正的主詞」一致。
| 句子 | 真正主詞 | 介系詞片語(干擾) | 動詞 |
|---|---|---|---|
| The teacher, along with her students, is going. | The teacher(單) | along with her students | is ✓ |
| The box of chocolates is on the table. | The box(單) | of chocolates | is ✓ |
| The boys, together with their teacher, are here. | The boys(複) | together with their teacher | are ✓ |
| The price of these books is high. | The price(單) | of these books | is ✓ |
4-2 常見「假主詞」介系詞片語
這些片語只是補充說明,不影響真正的主詞:
| 片語 | 意思 | 不影響主詞 |
|---|---|---|
| along with | 以及 | ✓ |
| together with | 和…一起 | ✓ |
| with | 和… | ✓ |
| as well as | 以及 | ✓ |
| besides | 除了… | ✓ |
| in addition to | 此外 | ✓ |
| including | 包括 | ✓ |
| except | 除了 | ✓ |
4-3 經典對比:with vs. and
| 連接 | 效果 | 例句 |
|---|---|---|
| with | 不影響主詞 | The teacher with the students is going. |
| and | 真正合併兩個主詞 → 複數 | The teacher and the students are going. |
💎 判斷技巧:把介系詞片語「打括號」蓋掉,看剩下的真正主詞。
🎯 介系詞片語陷阱即時練習(5 題)
1. Choose: The book on the shelves ______ mine. (A) is (B) are (C) were (D) have
2. Choose: My brother, along with his friends, ______ playing basketball. (A) is (B) are (C) were (D) have
3. Choose: The students, as well as their teacher, ______ going on a field trip. (A) is (B) are (C) was (D) has
4. 改錯:The list of items are too long.
5. Translate: 「公主和七個小矮人住在森林裡。」(Use the princess and the seven dwarfs)
寫好答案再往下看 👇
解答與詳解
第 1 題:(A) is
✅ The book is mine. 解析:主詞是 The book(單數),“on the shelves” 是介系詞片語,不影響主詞。
第 2 題:(A) is
✅ My brother is playing basketball. 解析:主詞是 My brother(單數),“along with his friends” 是介系詞片語,不影響主詞。 💎 對比:My brother and his friends are playing basketball.(用 and → 變複數主詞)
第 3 題:(B) are
✅ The students are going on a field trip. 解析:主詞是 The students(複數),“as well as their teacher” 是介系詞片語,不影響主詞。
第 4 題:are → is
✅ 修正:The list is too long. 解析:主詞是 The list(單數),“of items” 是介系詞片語,不影響主詞。 💎 每次看到「N + of + 複數」,先問:主詞是哪個?通常是 of 前面那個名詞!
第 5 題:The princess and the seven dwarfs live in the forest.
✅ 解析:用 and 連接兩個主詞 → 複數 → live(不加 s)。 💎 對比:The princess, with the seven dwarfs, lives in the forest.(with → 不影響主詞 → 主詞還是 princess 單數)。
五、there is / here is 的就近原則
詳細在 3-7 已經介紹。規則:動詞跟最近的名詞一致!
5-1 正確寫法對比
| 句子 | 對否 |
|---|---|
| There is a book and two pens on the desk. | ✓(跟 a book) |
| There are two pens and a book on the desk. | ✓(跟 two pens) |
| There are a book and two pens on the desk. | ✗(不跟最近的) |
| There is two pens and a book on the desk. | ✗(不跟最近的) |
🎯 there is/are 即時練習(5 題)
1. Choose: There ______ a cat and three dogs in the yard. (A) is (B) are (C) was (D) were
2. Choose: There ______ five books and a pen on the table. (A) is (B) are (C) was (D) has
3. Choose: Here ______ your coffee and two donuts. (A) is (B) are (C) was (D) have
4. 改錯:There are a problem with this computer.
5. Translate: 「桌上有兩個杯子和一個盤子。」(用 there is/are with 就近原則)
寫好答案再往下看 👇
解答與詳解
第 1 題:(A) is
✅ There is a cat and three dogs. 解析:最近的是 a cat(單數)→ is。
第 2 題:(B) are
✅ There are five books and a pen. 解析:最近的是 five books(複數)→ are。
第 3 題:(A) is
✅ Here is your coffee and two donuts. 解析:最近的是 your coffee(單數)→ is。
第 4 題:are → is
✅ 修正:There is a problem with this computer. 解析:a problem(單數)→ is。
第 5 題:There are two cups and a plate on the table. (或 There is a plate and two cups on the table.)
✅ 解析:兩種寫法都對,看你把哪個放前面:
- 兩個杯子在前 → are(跟 two cups)
- 一個盤子在前 → is(跟 a plate)

第 21 題:4 個錯誤
(a) have → has(Everyone 視為單數) (b) are → is(the number of → 單數) (c) are → is(主詞 The teacher 單數,介系詞片語不影響) (d) are → is(news 是不可數,單數)
第 22 題:(A) 和 (C) 正確
(A) ✓ There is a cat and two dogs(最近是 a cat 單數) (C) ✓ There are two dogs and a cat(最近是 two dogs 複數) (B)(D) 都違反就近原則。

第 27 題:
(a) were → was(cake 是不可數,主詞是「蛋糕」整體) 💎 但如果改成 “Two-thirds of the cookies were eaten.”(cookies 可數複數)→ were 對。 分數 + of:取決於 of 後面的名詞單複數! (b) have → has(the number of → 單數,主詞是 the number) (c) we → us(介系詞 of 後接受格)
第 28 題:
(a) is — Mathematics 學科名單數。 (b) is — The Philippines 國名單數。 (c) is — 距離整體 → 單數。 (d) is — 數學運算結果 → 單數(雖然口語也常聽 are)。
第 29 題:does
✅ “Among the students in this class, the only one who consistently does the homework on time is Mary.” 解析:分析子句結構——
- 主子句主詞:the only one(單數)
- 子句主詞:who(指代 the only one,單數)
- “consistently” 是副詞插入。 所以動詞用 does(單數)。 💎 這題考的是長句中的主詞動詞一致——關鍵是辨認「真正的主詞」是誰。
第 30 題:完整修正
原段:Everyone in the room are happy because the news are good. The number of guests are around 50. Each of them have brought a gift. Mathematics, along with physics, are difficult subjects, but everyone here are passionate about learning.
✅ 修正版: “Everyone in the room is happy because the news is good. The number of guests is around 50. Each of them has brought a gift. Mathematics, along with physics, is a difficult subject, but everyone here is passionate about learning.”
修正了 6 處,全部都是「主詞動詞一致」陷阱:
- Everyone are → is
- news are → is
- The number of guests are → is
- Each of them have → has
- Mathematics … are → is(且 difficult subjects → a difficult subject 因為主詞是單數)
- everyone here are → is

學習科學小知識:測試效應 (Testing Effect)
認知心理學最堅實的發現之一:「考自己」比「重複閱讀」更能提升記憶——這叫測試效應 (Testing Effect)。
為什麼?考試時你的大腦在做兩件事:
- 提取(從記憶中找答案)
- 回饋(看到對錯後修正)
這兩個動作會強化神經連結,讓記憶更牢固。被動閱讀只有「輸入」,沒有「輸出」,所以記憶很快流失。
應用到主詞動詞一致:不要只是讀規則——多做題、多錯、多修正!每一個錯誤都是大腦在「校準」記憶的機會。
威威老師為什麼把這麼多練習題塞到講義裡?就是這個原理。主動提取 > 被動閱讀——效率差 5 倍以上。
