to的的用法
在英语中to的用法是比较重要的，一般来说 to 有两种基本用法：
1.做介词，表示“到，向，往”，如go to，fly to，后面跟名词作定语，构成介宾结构。
2.动词不定式的标志，很常见的，如：want to do，be happy to do。
注意有一些看似不定式但实为介词的结构，如 look forward to，pay attention to ，他们后面跟动词的ing 形式作宾语，千万不能跟原形。
其他的如to +do 作定语等等基本都是以上两种用法的延伸。

4. majority of
a majority of 是大比数，必须有大概的总数和要做出比例比较
a number of 是数个，并没有具体的数目也没有比例比较
a pool of 是一群，同样没有具体的数目也没有比例比较；a pool of 和a number of 相比 a pool of 的数量要多
a number of…
a number of…意思是“一些，若干”（= some），后接可数名词复数或代词，谓语动词用复数形式。
a number of…词组中还可以加入形容词表示数量大或小等（例如：a large/small number of…许多/少数……）。
注意和the number of的区别。the number of…意思是“……的数字/数目”，介词of同其后名词构成介词短语，修饰the number.当它作主语时，谓语动词用单数。例如：
Many people took part in 10,000-metre race, but only a number of them kept on running to the end. 许多人参加了10000米跑，但只有一些人坚持跑到底。
A number of my friends think I should take a holiday.

5. majority单复数
majority的基本意思是“多数”“大多数”，尤指在选举中在半数以上，即超过其余候选人得票总和的人或政党，也可指票数差距，即多得的票数或超过的票数。
majority也可泛指“大多数”。
majority还可作“成年人”解，指达到可以投票的法定年龄，如英国、中国等为18岁。
majority单独用作主语时，谓语动词多用单数形式，在强调“多数中的各个成员”时，谓语动词常用复数形式。
majority只用作单数，通常与of连用。the majority of后可用单数名词，也可用复数名词，谓语动词的数与of后面的名词相一致。
当把“多数”当作一个整体和少数人的整体相对比时，谓语动词用单数形式。
6. majority的反义词
overwhelming majority中文意思是“绝大多数多数”，它的反义词是overwhelming minority 中文意思是“压倒性少数”
Among the millions with hourly earnings at or below the minimum wage level, the overwhelming majority are from multiple-earner, relatively affluent families.在每小时工资处于或低于最低工资水平的数百万人中，绝大多数来自有多收入者、相对富裕的家庭。
7. majority翻译

从表面看，他是有罪的，但我准备听听他的解释。
（On the face of） it he is guilty, but I am prepared to listen to his explanation
从表面看，多数决定与保护个人和少数派权利的原则似乎相互矛盾。
（On the surface）, the principles of majority rule and the protection of individual and minority rights would seem contradictory
8. majority做主语谓语动词如何处理
the majority of+复数名词用作主语时，谓动用复数；the majority of+不可数名词用作主语时，谓动用单数。
一、the majority of释义大多数。
二、the majority of读音英 [ðə məˈdʒɒrəti ɒv]，美 [ðə məˈdʒɔːrəti əv]。
三、the majority of示例:The majority of foreign nationals working here have work permits.大多数在这里工作的外国人都有工作许可证。
9. majority后面的谓语动词
分情况，有时单数有时复数。
1. the majority表示“大多数”时，是集合名词；若单独用作主语，谓语动词可用单数（若强调整体）或复数（若强调个体）。如：
The majority has [have] seen the film. 多数人看过这部电影。
But the majority were [was] on Ben’s side. 但多数人都站在贝恩一边。
但是若单独用的 the majority后跟有复数表语，则谓语通常要用复数。如：
The majority are young people. 大多数是年轻人。
2. “the majority of+复数名词”用作主语时，谓语动词通常用复数，偶尔也可以用单数。如：
The majority of them are professional drivers. 他们大多是职业司机。
The majority of criminals are non-violent. 大多数罪犯是不使用暴力的。
The majority of students were [was] indifferent to the political meeting. 大多数学生对政治集会漠不关心。
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. “the majority of+不可数名词”用作主语时，谓语动词总是用单数。如：
The majority of the work has been finished. 大部分工作已完成。
The majority of the damage is easy to repair. 这次的损害大部分容易补救。
注：按传统语法，the majority of只用于修饰可数名词复数或具有复数意义的集合名词，但在现代英语中它也可用于修饰不可数名词。
5. “a majority of+复数名词”用作主语时，谓语动词通常用复数。如：
A majority of visitors have arrived. 大多数参观者已经到了。
A clear majority of voters were in favour of the motion. 绝大多数选民赞成这一动议。
10. majority主谓一致的用法
一、主谓一致：
①当主语后面接由as well as、as such as、accompanied by、including、in addition to、more than、no less than、rather than、with、together with等构成的词组时，其谓语动词的形式要依主语的单复数而定。
②表示时间、金钱、距离、体积、重量、面积、数字等的词语作主语时，其意义若是指总量应看做单数，谓语动词用单数；但如果其意义是指“有多少数量”则应该看作是复数，那么谓语动词也应该用复数。
③形容词前加定冠词即“the+形容词”作主语时，其意义若是指个人或是抽象概念应看作单数，谓语动词用单数；但如果其意义是指一类人则应该看作是复数，那么谓语动词也应该用复数。
④当and连接两个并列主语（在意义上指同一人、同一物或者同一概念）时，应看作单数，谓语动词用单数。有时，当and连接两个形容词去修饰一个单数形式的主语时，其实是指两种不同的事物，主语则应该看作是复数，那么谓语动词也应该用复数。
⑤集体名词作主语时，谓语动词的单复数取决于主语的意义：主语表示整体时视为单数，谓语动词用单数；主语表示集体中的个体成员时视为复数，谓语动词用复数。这类集体名词常见的有army、audience、cattle、class、club、committee、crowd、family、government、group、majority、minority、party、people、police、public、staff、team等，其中cattle、people、police一般看成复数形式。
二、就近原则：是指谓语动词的人称和数常常与最近的主语保持一致。
常出现在这类句子中的标志词有or、either...or...、neither...nor...、not only...but also...、not...but...等。
