外研选择性必修 第三册 Unit 4 Period 2 Grammar 1 2 To know subject-verb agreement in person and number To use subject-verb agreement in person and number correctly 学习目标 目标一：To know subject-verb agreement on person and number Activity 1: Look at the sentences from the reading passage and answer the questions. a ...50 per cent of my time was spent researching new restaurants. b Every recommendation she gives me is great... c ...almost 50 per cent of US jobs are at risk from automation in the next 20 years. d ...none of us is prepared for the challenges of AI. 1 Why is 50 per cent singular in sentence (a) but plural in sentence (c)? Because in sentence (a), the part “50 per cent” is followed by the uncountable noun “time”, while in sentence (c), the part “50 per cent” is followed by the countable noun “job” in its plural form. 2 What are the subjects in sentences (b) and (d)?
