mm, i just check the dictionary, it says nothing about when to use 'number' over 'numbers'. Actually, what you are trying to approve is that' numbers ' is not acceptable. i don't agree with that. Both ' number' and 'numbers' are good. It depends on the logic meaning of the sentence.
I agree with Joice. No matter whether the meaning for numbers here is group of sth or particular quantity of sth, what we should know is that its numbers is ok in English! |
