④ Do your uncle live in Malaysia?
⑤ There is several beautiful paintings on the wall.
⑥ The news of Henrys resignation were received with great surprise.
⑦ What we are doing are good for the nation as a whole.
⑧ Someone have forgotten to turn off the light.
在③里,助动词 has 和复数主语 Mr and Mrs Li 不符,要改为 have。第④句里的 do 和 your uncle 不搭配,要改为 does。第⑤ 句里的 is 和真正主语 paintings 的数不一致,应改为 are。这个句子也可改变为:Several beautiful paintings are on the wall。在⑥里的主语 news,其形式是复数,但意思是单数,动词也要单数的 was received 才行。⑦里的主语是名词分句(noun clause),是个单数的单位,动词也要单数的 is,不是 are。在⑧ 里的主语 someone 是单数代名词,随后的动词必须是 has forgotten 才对。
上述动词和主语不一致的毛病,屡见不鲜;即使英语能力好的人,也难幸免。
下面这句英语很好,但是里面的动词对吗?是 has 还是 have 呢?
Its unique concept and impressive magnitude has made it the talking point of the region.
既然这句的主语是由 concept 和 magnitude 组成,便是复数,谓语动词当然也要复数 have 才是。
