Questions & Answers about La plupart des clients remercient le gérant.
'La plupart' is a singular phrase. Why is the verb 'remercient' in the plural form?
Why is it 'des clients' and not just 'de clients'? Doesn't 'la plupart' act like other quantity phrases?
Unlike quantity phrases such as beaucoup de or un peu de which drop the definite article (the), la plupart always keeps it. Because it means 'most OF THE', the preposition de combines with the plural article les to become des. If it were 'a lot', it would be beaucoup de clients, but here it must be la plupart des clients.
What is the root of the noun 'le gérant'?
Do I pronounce the '-ent' at the end of 'remercient'?
