凌哥,您好!我想請教一個(gè)問題。冀教版小學(xué)英語六年級上冊第三單元第18課The Snowman 第49頁中有:Spring is coming. Then comes summer and autumn.
請問第二句話中,主語是and連接的并列詞組,come 為什么加s?
您好! 這句話和倒裝句的語法點(diǎn)有關(guān)。 Then come/comes ...的倒裝與There is/are ...的倒裝規(guī)則是一樣的道理。 在https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/530123/singular-or-plural-has-have-vs-was-were中,提到了要重點(diǎn)關(guān)注there的詞性: To understand the solution to your problem, it is necessary to examine the word "there""There" is only ever an adverb. There is a common misconception that "there" can be a pronoun.即there是副詞,不是代詞。 繼而舉了3個(gè)副詞開頭的倒裝句:Only after the war was over did he go homeDearly do I love you.Many are the times that I thought of you. (Many are the times -> The times exist numerously.) 與時(shí)間有關(guān)的用法倒裝舉例:There comes a time when this partial makeover wasn’t good enough. (BBC documentary) 另外還有一本書名:And Then Comes Summer以及一本DVD影片F(xiàn)irst comes Saturday, then comes Sunday. 同樣,需要指出的是:then和first也是副詞。 凌哥并沒有在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上找到Then comes summer and autumn.的原句。但是,依據(jù)倒裝句和就近原則的原理,Then comes summer and autumn.是正確的表達(dá)方式,和There lies a building and a tower by the lake.一樣,盡管主語是并列詞組,但是動詞還是用第三人稱單數(shù)形式。
