      Substitute "has"  for "have". Exclude the prepositional phrase that begins with "of". It's the number that has increased, not the forms.

          Change "have" to "has" and omit the word "that". The prepositional phrase "of literary forms" identifies which forms, so I'd leave it.


          It was emphasized the number of literary firms has increased.

            It's incorrect to use "that" in this sentence? I would leave it in. I love grammar so please explain it to me.

            I think (that) just about everyone would use "that" in this sentence. It serves no useful purpose, though. Another example (that) might make more sense:
            I think that the president is a fool.
            I think the president is a fool.

            Sometimes I have to re-read a sentence, particularly in newspapers, because "that" is not in the sentence. It often makes a sentence more readable but THAT is just my opinion. :)

            Clonge says don't use "of".

            Clonge said to omit the phrase, not just "of", mcm...check his answer again. I'd leave it in because it identifies which type of forms has increased in number, which I've now explained twice.
            "That" in the sentence is used as a conjunction, I think, but I also think (that) it isn't necessary

            It's interesting to me that Longines chose to use one of the most vintage-inspired models in their current link catalog to give the ultra-modern carbon treatment. I'm not complaining but if you asked link me I would have put my money on a carbon Zulu Time making an appearance first. The end result is actually quite striking and the case shape and dial design lend themselves link quite nicely to this treatment.
