中考英语：走出“主谓一致”的三大误区(3)

    特别提醒  this kind of, a piece of, a bag of, a box of等，这类短语作主语时谓语动词的单复数由这些短语中的名词决定，而与它们所修饰的名词无关。
    5. the rest of，half of等短语作主语
    ①Half of the students have finished most of the work. The rest of it are very difficult. （×）
    ②Half of the students have finished most of the work. The rest of it is very difficult. （√）
    【解析】  根据句意和句子结构可以判断the rest of it中的it，指the work，而work是不可数名词，因此第②句正确。
    特别提醒  all of, most of, half of, the rest of，以及a lot of, some, any+名词作主语时，要根据后面的名词确定谓语动词的单复数。
    6. 一句话提示
    ①合成不定代词（如something，anybody等）作主语，谓语动词用单数；
    ②动名词、不定式、从句作主语时，谓语动词用单数；
    ③a number of + 名词（复）作主语，谓语用复数，the number of + 名词（复）作主语，谓语用单数；
    ④none of . . . 作主语时，谓语动词可用单数，也可用复数。
