"She has twenty students."

Translation: У неё двадцать учеников.

[kpagcha]

Is it really so wrong to say "у неё есть двадцать учеников"?

[fishmael]

as I understand (not native speaker) you shouldn't use "есть" if it's a compound noun.
see: у неё есть студент
у неё два студента

[angierdaniel]

Why is у неё есть двадцать студентов wrong ?

[Antixity]

It's probably the есть that got yours marked wrong. I believe Есть isn't used when we're specifying a quantity.

How do you know that a word in Genitive plural is stressed at -ов or at the "original" syllable? Are there patterns?

[CathyFranc6]

: ( no...
Russian stress is stressful. It helps to listen to lots of native speakers, for instance on youtube
