主语为量词和短语

  比较常用的量词如THE number of我们都很清楚是单数,而A number of则为复数。例如:

  ◆ The number of hardworking students in this class IS quite large.

 

  再如majority, minority, and plurality这些词也是单复数都可行的,具体情况要看语境及上下文,比如要强调个体时就可以用单数。

  ◆ The majority of the students in this class ARE hard workers.

  ◆ In the Senate, the majority HAS coalesced into a unified voting block.
