the number of /a number of 辨析
这两个词组不同之处,就在于其前的冠词上。

1)the number of…表示“……的数量”。

作主语的中心词时,谓语动词用单数形式,后常跟large, small等词作表语。

如:
The number of the students is very large in our school. 我们学校的学生数量非常大。

The number of the students in our school is2000.我校的学生人数是两千。

2)a number of表示“若干的;;许多的”。

起修饰作用,相当于many或a lot of,number前可以加small, large词来表示程度。

A number of+复数可数名词作主语时,其谓语动词用复数形式。

如:
A number of the students are playing football. 许多学生在踢足球。
