The teacher.with 6 girls and 8boys of her class,______visiting a museum when the earthquake struck.
A.was B.were C.had been D. would be
百度上面是A.. 因为没弄懂 就去问yahoo..
可是为什么答案变成C了?http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoAsfweH64jqfiyGVU8piJvg5nNG;_ylv=3?qid=20110711055114AAsfGHq
那为什么不选B呢
B. were. The teacher and the 6 girls and 8 boys form the pronoun "they" so the sentence structure has to follow suit. Had been doesn't fit because it's past tense and indicates the action was completed and "when the earthquake struck" indicates a current time frame.
您好,谢谢您的追问。
这道题的另一考点是——主谓一致。
· 主语后面出现with, together with, like, except, but, no less than, as well as 等词引起的短语,
此时句子的谓语动词的单复数 需要与短语前面的主语一致。
在这道题中,横线处的单复数 要与 with 6 girls and 8 boys 这个由with引起的短语前的主语 the teacher 保持一致,而很显然是单数,由此B项错误。
另外,由于这道题目The teacher后面有个“.” ,明显不符合英语文法,因此由两种可能:
1、The teacher, with 6 girls and 8 boys of her class,______visiting a museum when the earthquake struck. (The teacher后面是英语的逗号)
若是这种情况,“,with 6 girls and 8 boys,”是一个插入语,插入语在此是补充说明the teacher的状态,从这个角度主语依然是the teacher。
2、The teacher with 6 girls and 8 boys of her class,______visiting a museum when the earthquake struck. (The teacher后面是 空格)
若是这种情况,解释即为上面的“主谓一致”。
谢谢。
