Hello, Great Teachers!
Please help me out please.
In the next sentence, which verb is correct?
The vast majority of wildlife live or lives outside parks.
I think lives is correct.
Thanks in advance
Someone would argue that the very subject of the sentence is the majority, which is true but for the sake of style, I'd personally say: The majority of wildlife lives outside parks. This way you keep the verb form in parallel with the form of the noun wildlife, which is singular.
