the majority of +n.后面的谓动是用单数还是复数?a majority of

1,“the majority of+复数名词”用作主语时,谓语动词用复数.
2,“the majority of+不可数名词”用作主语时,谓语动词用单数.
3,“the majority of+集合名词”用作主语时,谓语动词可用单数（视为整体）
或复数（考虑其个体）.
如：The vast majority of the population lives [live] in utter misery.
这里的绝大多数人生活在极度贫困之中.
4,“a majority of+复数名词”用作主语时,谓语动词用复数.

the majority of 及a majority of 后面的名词用复数，所以其谓语动词也用复数形式。
希望帮到你！

这类形式主要看其后面的名词是可数名词复数还是不可数名词。即，后面是不可数名词，动词就用单数形式；如果是可数名词复数形式，动词就用复数形式。如：
The majority of the workers want their salaries raised.
In the USA, the majority of the population owns a private car.
