老师说,表语是复数时谓语动词要用复数。比如: What I want is money. What I want are books. 我想,这样不是成了“主表一致”,而不是“主谓一致”?谓语怎么可以跟表语保持一致呢?请教各位老师!谢谢!
有时,无论表语是单数还是复数,谓语动词(系动词)用单数或复数都可以。例如: Good manners are (is) a rarity these days. 在现在的日子里,文明礼貌已属罕见了。 Her only hope for the future is (are) her children. 她将未来的的唯一希望寄托在她的孩子们的身上。(《薄冰高级英语语法》p.525)
