主语中带有of介词短语，"主谓一致"一般遵循以下原则：

　　1.谓语动词的单、复数常根据介词of后的名词、代词的单、复数来确定。例如：

　　Two thirds of the earth surface is water.

　　One out of ten people speak English.

　　The rest of the apples are red.

　　The rest of the ink is black.

　　注意：population一词除外，当用作整体时，谓语动词用单数，用其部分作主语时，谓语动词则用复数。例如：

　　The population of China is 13.6 billion and 70% of the population are peasants.

　　2. "pair of / kind of / type of+名词/代词"作主语时，谓语动词形式要与of前名词形式保持一致。例如：

　　A pair of new shoes was bought for the child yesterday.

　　Several kinds of books were supplied.

　　3. "each / every one + of+名词/代词"作主语时，谓语动词用单数形式。例如：

　　Each of us has a book.

　　4. "either / neither of +名词/代词"作主语时，谓语动词常用单数形式；"none of+名词/代词"作主语时，谓语动词可用单数形式，也可用复数形式。例如：

　　Neither of the books is of any use to me.

　　None of them has / have come back yet.
