存在句 there be句式的主謂一致問題
若只有一個主語,謂語的數(shù)則取決于該主語的數(shù);若有幾個主語并列,則通常是與靠近的主語保持一致。如:
There is a man at the door. 門口有個人。
There are some girls in the room. 房間里有幾個女孩。
There is a pen and some books on the desk. 桌上有一支鋼筆和一些書。
但有時說話人先說出了there is(was),然后才想到要用復形名詞,此時則會出現(xiàn)there is后接復數(shù)主語的情況。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. 登記排隊的人有好幾百。
