问题: the majority of+名词!!!

the majority of 后面都可以加什么名词作主语?不可数名词还是可数名词复数?
谓语动词又分别是单数还是复数?具体是怎么个情况?
还有 它与a majority of有什么区别??
最好举例说明~谢谢~

解答:

majority=the great number or part; most 修饰可数名词复数,所以the majority of 后跟可数名词复数,谓语动词用复数,当作为一个整体看,跟单数。the majority of和a majority of可以通用。比如:1 A/The majority of people seem to prefer TV to radio.2 The majority was/were in favour of the proposal.多数人赞成这个建议。
