老师好,
there be A and B就近原则,只考虑A的单复数,
比如:
There is a knife and fork on the desk.
There are a light bulb and a screwdriver on the desk.
这两句都是在书上找的,请老师讲下为何第二个不需要is呢?
盼复!
There is a knife and fork on the desk.
There are a light bulb and a screwdriver on the desk.
一般there存在句的主谓一导致用就近原则,但不排除有的人坚持语法一致原则,当主语为and并列的主语时,谓语用复数。还有人觉得there是形式主语,尽管后接的名词为复数,也用is。比如:There is two books on the desk. 不过多数人觉得这是非正式的使用方法。现在最常见的还是就近原则。另外,a knife and fork在西式快餐中被视为一套餐具,作主语时本来就多用单数谓语。网友自己写句子根据就近原则就是了。
