Bất cứ ngời học tiếng anh nào cũng đều nắm đợc một nguyên tắc

trong tiếng anh là chủ ngữ số ít phải kết hợp với động từ số ít và ngợc lại Ex: - Mr Orson is a doctor

- She lives in Ha Noi ect

Tất nhiên đó là lý thuyết còn khi dạy phần này chúng ta nên giới

thiệu cho học sinh nắm đợc những trờng hợp chủ ngữ cụ thể dới đây đợc coi là số ít và luôn kết hợp với động từ số ít:

1- Chủ ngữ là những đại từ bất định (infinitive prronouns):

on the context When it means an occasion, it is a countable When it

sẽ đợc theo sau bởi một động từ số nhiều

Ex: - These countries have developed economy

- They are active men.

3- Khi chủ ngữ có hai hoặc nhiều hơn các đối tợng đợc nối với nhau bằng

"and" thì ta thờng dùng động từ số nhiều.

Ex: - Mary and Tom are classmates

- A strong wind and a full sail bring joy to the sailor

Nhng cũng có trờng hợp sử dụng động từ số ít khi chủ thể muốn qui

về một đối tợng, hoặc khi hai vật hoặc hai bộ phận khác nhau nhng đợc hợp lại thành một cũng đợc coi là danh từ số ít và kết hợp với động từ số

ít

Động từ số nhiều đợc dùng khi ngời nói muốn đề cập hay nhấn

mạnh đến từng thành viên trong nhóm đang hoạt động một cách riêng lẻ hoặc tập hợp ấy đợc xem nh những bộ phận hay thành phần khác nhau.

Ex: - The audience were applauding, cheering, even stamping their feet

6- Với mẫu câu "There + be "thông thờng động từ phụ thuộc vào danh

từ đứng ngay sau nó Ex: - There is much traffic at night and many mules

on the road

- There were two lorries, a car and a motorcycle there yesterday

* Lu ý: Đôi khi động từ hòa hợp với tất cả các chủ từ sau nó:

Ex: - There are a plaza, a cathedral, and a governor'r palace on the

hill

D- Confused subjects:

1- Khi chủ ngữ là một cụm từ có hình thức số nhiều chỉ thời gian, trọng ợng và sự đo lờng thì động từ đợc kết hợp ở hình thức số ít.

l-Ex: - Twenty years in prison is a very long time

(Twenty years = a period of time)

- Five miles on that road seems impossible for us to walk

( Five miles = a distance of forty miles)

(Twenty dollar = a sum of money)

2- Khi chủ từ đi kèm với cụm giới từ bắt đầu bằng: with, a long with,

together with, as well as, besides, in addition to, other than, like,

accompanied by thì động từ đợc chia theo chủ từ đứng trớc các cụm giới

từ này (các cụm giới từ này không ảnh hởng đến chủ từ trớc nó)

Ex: - Mr Black with his children lives there.

- The actress, along with her manager and some friends, is going

to a party tonight

- All the books other than the blue one are very interesting

Ex: - The police have been looking for the murder for three months now

- The data are not suitable for my purpose

Những danh từ này có thể các em đã gặp ở phần "Danh từ bất qui tắc" nhng chúng ta cũng nên hệ thống lại giúp các em đợc khắc thêm một lần nữa
