一句话的时态是通过谓语动词来反映的，由时间状语来决定的。所以划线部分如果有动词则第一反映是不是谓语：
(一) 如果是，谓语划线考法有三：1)主谓一致;2)时态;3)被动(很简单)。记住一句话：谓语划线看主语，主谓一致看状语。如：
The rise in the Commerce Department‘s index of leading economic indicators suggest that the economy should continue its expansion into the coming months, but that the mixed performance of the index’s individual components indicates that economic growth will proceed at a more moderate pace than in the first quarter of this year.
A suggest that the economy should continue its expansion into the coming months, but that B suggest that the economy is to continue expansion into the coming months but C suggests that the economy will continue its expanding in the coming months, but that D suggests that the economy is continuing to expand in the coming months, but that E suggests that the economy will continue to expand in the coming month, but
此句划线部分则有谓语动词考的则是主谓一致的问题，主语为单数的rise 所以谓语应用单数。此题也考了另外的一个常考语法点，but 后是加平行结构还是转折连词作用，此题中是转折词则要直接加主谓所以答案为E。
