“more than one+单数名词”用作主语,其谓语通常用单数(即从形式考虑)。“more+复数名词+than one”用作主语,其谓语通常要用复数。

more than one谓语用

1.more than one +单数名词

作主语时, 尽管从意义上看是复数, 谓语动词用单数 (要从形式一致来考虑)。

例如: More than one boy【has read】the story.不止一个男孩已经读了这个故事。

2.more than one+数词+复数名词

作主语时,谓语动词用复数.。

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。

3.more+复数名词+than one

作主语时,谓语动词用复数。

例如:More boys than one【have read】the story.

more than one例题

请看两个句子:

More than one boy __________ read the story.

More boys than one __________ read the story.

A. have,haveB. has,hasC. have,hasD. has,have

此题应选D。该题很容易误选A,认为既然more than one意为“不只一个”(=多个),那么其谓语就应该用复数。 其实more than one 用作主语时,谓语通常要用单数(要从形式一致来考虑)。
