存在句 there be句式的主谓一致问题

  若只有一个主语,谓语的数则取决于该主语的数;若有几个主语并列,则通常是与靠近的主语保持一致。如:

  There is a man at the door. 门口有个人。

  There are some girls in the room. 房间里有几个女孩。

  There is a pen and some books on the desk. 桌上有一支钢笔和一些书。

  但有时说话人先说出了there is(was),然后才想到要用复形名词,此时则会出现there is后接复数主语的情况。如:

  There's some things I can't resist. 有些事物我是不抗拒的。

  There's hundreds of people on the waiting list. 登记排队的人有好几百。
