Question

填入所缺的词is或are.

1．There ________ a pen and some books on the desk.

2．There ________ three pencils and a book in the bag.

3．There ________ some maps on the wall.

4．What ________ in your desk?

5．There ________ an English book, a pencil-box, a pen and an eraser in my schoolbag.

Answer 1

答案：is;are;are;is;is
解析：

There is还是There are取决于后面的名词的单复数情况．如a pen，之前要用is，are后面用three pencils and some maps．What为不定指代词也视为单数用is．第5句后面跟了几个物体，但第一个名词是单数，也要用is．而如果是five English books，a pencil and an eraser就要用are．
