the number of的用法
The number of giant pandas is getting smaller and smaller
the number of 表示“...的数量”
后面加可数名词复数,但是因为中心词是“数量”,
也就是说我们的主语是“the number”,所以后面的谓语动词要用三人称单数形式。
即:the number of + 可数名词复数 +三单谓语
e.g.我们班的人数是40人。
The number of students in our class is 40 .
表示“……的数量少”,用small来修饰。
e.g.我们班的学生数少。
The number of students in our class is small.
扩展资料:
a number of表示“许多”,相当于 many,修饰可数名词复数.
作主语时,谓语动词用复数.number前可用large,great,small等修饰,以表示程度.
例如:
A number of students are planting trees on the hill.
许多学生在小山上植树.
A great / large number of visitors from Hainan are coming to Harbin.
一大群来自海南的游客将要来哈尔滨
