<<EX: Half of children falls OR Half of children fall..
Most college guys dates girls. OR Most of college guys date girls.>> Under severe winter conditions, half of the [physically disabled] children have fallen on the slippery, icy sidewalks of the Canadian small town of Dawson. (plural) "Most [of the] college guys date..." (plural) At bartleby you'll notice half + of + plural noun structures often take plural verbs. So do most + of + plural noun structures. |
