IS OR ARE

Assalamualaikum and hello children,

I would like to respond to the question posted to the chat box by Syarifah Haziqah.

If you are referring to the number of the passengers, you should write like this:

The number of passengers is 100.

But if you are referring to the passengers, you should write like this:

The passengers are 100.

Please take note of the differences.

Thank you.
