Grammar
Part of, fraction of
Dear all,
Hi, can someone please tell me, after 'part of something', should I use singular or plural, has or have, is or are? Another thing is, after a fraction of something, eg 3/4 inch / inches etc. Please help.
Thank you.

(One and half inches though, or one and one-third cups of flour -- once you get past an entire "one of them" then use the plural.)
