The number of students in our school ( )than that in theirs填is more 还是is bigger
问题描述:
The number of students in our school ( )than that in theirs
填is more 还是is bigger
答
is bigger
答
这里的number强调的是一个具体的数字
作为单个的整体数据看到
所以谓语动词要用单数is
在比较级方面,强调的是数字
而不是量
所以,用
is bigger比较恰当。
答
问的是我们学校学生的“数量”比他们学校学生“数量”要多,应该用is bigger
如果单说students,要用is more
答
The number of students in our school (is more )than that in theirs
The number of students in our school (is less )than that in theirs
The number of students in our school (is higher )than that in theirs
