数词作主语时的主谓一致
1)分数(百分数)+of +名词做主语时,谓语动词的单复数取决于of后面的名词的数。 但要注意population 一词,用作整体时,谓语动词用单数,用其部分做主语时,谓语动词形式用复数。
例如: Part of the work has been done by us.
部分工作我们已经做完了。
Ten percent of the apples were bad.
百分之十的苹果已经坏了。
The population of China is 1.36 billion and 70% of the population are peasants.
中国有十三亿人口, 其中百分之七十是农民。
