根据后面的名词来判断:The rest of the wine was drained off from this barrel.桶里剩余的酒被倒了出去.因为wine不可数,所以“剩余的酒”也不可数,谓语动词用单数.He does more than the rest of us do together....
两者均需看它的指代。 如:
Some of the students of my class are singing, the rest (of the students) are dancing.
由于指代班里的其它学生,为可数名词,故用复数形式。
The guests had a lot of food. Take away the rest (of the food...
the rest后面接句子,表剩下的怎么样,而the rest of后面跟名词或相当于名词的短语,其后动词跟ing形式。
the rest 和 the rest of 和百分数,分数 后面加名词 用法一样 指可数名词 谓语动词就用复数 如 剩下的学生 谓语动词用复数指不可数名词 谓语动词用单数 如 剩下的水 谓语动词用单数。
The rest of the money is yours.
The rest of the apples are yours.
