All the things 英语语法问题
All the things my mother did were the result of hope that……为什么是were?the result of hope 明明是单数啊?请赐教,看到我明白的答案我给加分!

答：此句由在四级考试写作改编而来：
When I was a child,my mom always pushed me to study hard,wishing I could get a chance to go to college.I experienced stress for the first time.I did what my mom expected because I didn't want to let her down.Born to a peasant family,I deeply know life was not easy for us,and all the things my mother did to me was just hoping I could lead a better life in the future.As the saying goes,no pains,no gains,I did have chance to go to college and measure up to my mother's expectation!Thanks to my mother's push,thanks to the stress.In this way,I don't think stress is a bad thing.
有新东方名师点评这句：
第一段第四句后半部分and all the things my mother did to me was just hoping I could lead a better life in the future应改为and all the things my mother did were the result of her hope that I could lead a better life in the future.原文中出现了主谓一致错误,主语all the things为复数,谓语应使用were.
其实改为were我同意,改成the result of her hope 就莫名其妙了.
我想作者想表达的是：我母亲所做的一切事情就是希望我以后能能过上更好的生活.
事情怎么成了希望的结果了吗?
要我改的话,将主语改为Mother did all the things for me hoping that I could .
All the things my mother did were the result of hope that……为什么是were?the result of hope 明明是单数啊?请赐教,看到我明白的答案我给加分!
答：这句话本身就是有问题的.不过你的疑问主要在于：主系表中的主表不一致,其实,英语中只要求主谓一致,并没有主表一致 要求.事实上,汉语中不也有：“我们是一家人” 这样的表达吗?
We are a family.
所以主语为复数,表语为单数,这不是问题.
原作者想表达的是：母亲为自己做事情的目的,老师将这些事情改成了其希望的结果了.
如要表示目的,也可以：Mother did all the things for me so that I could .
老师的陷入了学生汉语思维：她为我所做的一切就是希望我能.陷阱而不能自拔了.
