disminuyó / disminuyeron

disminuyó / disminuyeron

El año pasado el número de accidentes ________ considerablemente.Last year the number of accidents reduced considerably.(HINT: Conjugate "disminuir" in El Pretérito Indefinido)
my answer was wrong - am I correct in thinking that it is because el número  is singular and therefore you don't use the plural disminyeron for the plural accidentes
many thanksdisminuyódisminyeron

Hola Julie

Yes, that's right! It's agreeing with "el n'umero" (I extended the hint in that question to clarify this)

Gracias y saludos
