There is 还是there are？？？

“There is a boy and a girl.”“ There are a boy and a girl.”这两句那个对？

其实。这两段句子是简要，它们应是：“There is a boy and there is a girl.”

There is an apple and two oranges 对还是 There are an apple and two oranges 对？

这两段句子也是英语的简略。它们应是 There is an apple and there are two oranges.

但是如果把apple和 oranges调转，它可写着 There are two oranges and an apple.

英语的文法是与( LAW OF PROXIMITY)接近法有关 ,它的VERB TO BE (verb to be 的动词)是根据最接近的名词为主：

例如：

1．There is a vase and two pots. 句子中的Vase 接近VERB TO BE (verb to be 的动词)是 SINGULAR单数，所以用 is

2．There are two pots and a vase. 句子中的pots 接近VERB TO BE (verb to be 的动词)是 PLURAL 复数，所以用 are。

但须记住，以上的原本的句子是 There is a vase and there are two pots 和There are two pots and a vase.
