A majority of后跟名词单数还是复数
那The majority of后跟名词单数还是复数
他们的谓语动词呢?
求教
或者是 A majority of后跟cn、还是un

这种情况看被修饰名词,还得看语用也就是实际使用语境;

单数

I declare the motion is carried by a majority of six to one.
我宣布该动议以6比1的多数获得通过.
She was elected by a majority of 3749.
她以超过对方3749票当选.
An attempt to seize control of a company,as by acquiring a majority of its stock.

用法:(1)单独使用做主语时,谓语动词单复数均可
如:the majority was/were in favour of the proposal.多数人赞成这个建议
(2)和of介词短语连用时,跟可数名词复数,谓语动词用复数;跟不可数名词,谓语动词用单数,但多跟可数名词复数.如:the majority of people are in favour of the plan.大多数的人都赞成这个计划.
