0 01b01font00A "simple majority" is one (1) more than half of the people involved. I tend to use "most people" and "a majority of the people" to be synonymous. Other intensifiers may be used: "the vast majority", "most people, by far", etc.02font02b00 0-

0 The difference between "most students" and "most of the students" is "Most students" is used when talking about every student; "Most students are under the age of 18." "Most of the students" is used when talking about a specific number; "Most of the students in this school eat lunch at home."02br
