How to express the score:
1、 It is expressed by "cardinal number + ordinal number"
In English, fraction is usually expressed with the help of cardinal and ordinal words, in which cardinal denotes numerator and ordinal denotes denominator
For example:
The centimeter is one tenth of the decimeter or one hundredth of the meter
2. However, the number of boys will be a third or less than the girls in the class
It can be seen from the above examples that besides one, the numerator can also use a; if the numerator is greater than 1, the denominator should use the plural form. However, 1 / 2 cannot say a (one) second, but a (one) half
3. The sum of one half, one third and one fourth of a certain number is 13
1 / 4 and 3 / 4 can be said to be a (one) four and three four, but they are often expressed as a quarter and three quarters. It should be noted that when a fraction modifies a noun, if the noun is uncountable, it can only be singular; if it is countable, it can be singular or plural. However, if they are subjects in a sentence, whether the predicate verb is singular or plural depends on the noun, It is consistent with the noun modified by the score

When a noun is modified by fraction, it is usually plural, but if the noun is placed after the integer one or a, it is singular, The predicate verb should be plural according to the principle of proximity
