24: 当主语是分数或百分数时，谓语动词的单复数由of后面的名词决定?

Question24: Three-fourths of the wood (is/are) burn. Which
one shall I choose, "is" or "are"?

Answer: In this sentence, we should choose "is". When the subject
of a sentence is a fraction or a percentage, the form of the
predicate is dependent on the noun following "of". The same rule
can be applied to the followings: the rest, half, most, all,
etc. For example:
1). 40% of the students in our school are boys.
2). Half of the water melon has been eaten up.

问题24: Three-fourths of the wood (is/are) burn. 应该选is还是are?

回答: 此句中应选is。当主语是分数或百分数时，谓语动词的单复数由of
后面的名词决定。遵循同样法则的还有：the rest, half, most, all, etc.
如：
1). 40% of the students in our school are boys.
2). Half of the water melon has been eaten up.
