Question

Stared in the 1950s there is a wide variety of shoes and boots belonging to everyone from queens and presidents to pop stars and actors!
请问there后的文娱动词怎么是is,应该是are吧,应为shoes是可数的呀

Answer 1

语法规则是there be后面只要第一个字是单数的就用there is.
其实不光是a variety of,在下面这个例子中一系列并列的名词第一个是单数就是there is
There is an apple,three bananas and five oranges on the table.
