The number of the students in our school __(change) every year

问题描述:

The number of the students in our school __(change) every year

因为每年在变,所以用“changes”。“Changing”不能用(因为语法不通顺),除非前面加上 “is”。 (The number of the students in our school is changing every year.)
所以填“changes":
The number of the students in our school changes every year.
这个跟复数没有关系--就算题目是“My English teacher (注意是单数!)__________(change) every year", 答案依然是“changes".

changes.因为the number of 表示的是数量,用单数;如果是a number of 的话,就是用复数。

答案:
The number of the students in our school (changes) every year.
翻译:我们学校的学生人数每年都在变化.
说明:the number of+可数名词复数,做主语时,谓语动词用单数形式.
