Singular or plural verb?
When m inoría is the subject of a verb, the verb can be in the singular or the plural, depending on the context: ► Put the verb in the singular if min ority is seen as a unit rather than a collection of individuals:
A minority should always be respected, however small it may be Una minoría, aunque sea pequeña, debe ser respetada siempre ► If la minoría 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:
A minority of agitators want to introduce anarchy Una minoría de agitadores quieren or quiere traer la anarquía ► The plural form must be used when la minoría or la minoría de + ((plural noun)) is followed by ser or estar + ((plural complement)):
Only a minority of the demonstrators were students Solo una minoría de los manifestantes eran estudiantes For further uses and examples, see main entry* * *[mə'nɔːrəti, maɪ'nɒrɪti]1)a) ( smaller number) (+ sing o pl vb) minoría fto be in a/the minority — estar* en minoría
