Question

one of the teachers 后面跟的谓语动词应用什么形式
the only one of the teachers呢?
在量词+名词的情况下,后面的谓语动词是于量词词组一致呢,还是与名词一致?

Answer 1

首先要明确一点英语中没有量词.
只是很多名词短语有相当于汉语量词的作用
如:
a drop of water一滴水
a cube of sugar 一块方糖
a cake of soap 一块肥皂
a dash of salt 一撮盐
a glimmer of hope 一线希望
a burst of laughter 一阵笑声
a train of thoughts 一连串的想法
a nice cup of tea 一杯好茶
a pair of glasses 一副眼镜
a pair of scissors 一把剪刀
a piece of paper 一张纸
a packet of cigarettes 一盒香烟
a basket of vegetables 一篮子蔬菜
呵呵整多了! Let's go directly to the point.
如果"one of the teachers" 和"the only one of the teachers"只是在简单句中做主语,那么谓语都要用单数.但如果它们做的是定语从句的先行词,从句谓语动词单复数,就要区别对待了.主要是得弄清定语从句修饰的对象.
试比较:
A:He is one of the boys who "play" the piano well.
他是钢琴弹的很好的男孩子之一.
(这里关系代词who指代是"boys".表示一群钢琴弹的很好的孩子们)
B: He is the only one of the boys who "plays" the piano well.
这些男孩子中,他是唯一一个钢琴弹的很棒的男孩.
(这里"who"指代的唯一的一个钢琴弹的很棒的男孩)
补充一个语法点:
(1)a large quantity of + 名词 (谓语视情况而定)
名词为可数名词单数/不可数名词 谓语单数
名词为可数名词复数 谓语复数
(注:这里谓语复数,即是这个短语特殊与众不同之处)
(2)a large quantities of + 名词 谓语(必用复数)
例:
A Large quantities of money were spent on the project
A large quantity of money was spent on the project
A large quantity of materials were spent on the project
