Did you know that: if HALF (OF) is used with a plural noun, the verb is plural too: • If you want to know the age of our students, at least HALF ARE 17 years old (NOT half is) • Over HALF of my friends love mixed martial arts (NOT loves) • HALF the patients WERE given the medicine and the other HALF WERE given placebo (NOT was given) and vice versa: • HALF the food WAS wasted (NOT were wasted) @ieltsboyko 3.5K views10:00
