Singular or plural verb?
When m ayoría is the subject of a verb, the verb can be in the singular or the plural, depending on the context. ► When translating maj ority rather than most, put the verb in the singular if majority is seen as a unit rather than a collection of individuals:
The socialist majority voted against the four amendments La mayoría socialista votó en contra de las cuatro enmiendas ► If la mayoría is seen as a collection of individuals, particularly when it is followed by de + ((plural noun)), the plural form of the verb is more common than the singular, though both are possible:
The majority still wear this uniform La mayoría siguen vistiendo or sigue vistiendo este uniforme
Most scientists believe it is a mistake La mayoría de los científicos creen or cree que se trata de un error ► The plural form must be used when la mayoría or la mayoría de + ((plural noun)) is followed by ser or estar + ((plural complement)):
Most of them are men La mayoría son hombres
